The environmental concerns linked to traditional power generation methods have driven solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems to be established as a clean and viable alternative power solution [1]. However, SPV systems are associated with low energy conversion efficiency attributes. This highlights the need for an efficient power conversion system [2]. SPV sources showcase a nonlinear … [Read more...] about Maximum Power Point in a Single Step: A Novel Method for PV Industry

Flexible and Efficient MMC Digital Twin Realized With Small-Scale Real-Time Simulators
The decreasing trend in the price of computational power has led to the evolution of various tools intended to support development processes in power electronics. In the domain of high-power converters, which rely on the use of digital controllers while switching at frequencies not exceeding several kHz, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) systems have become widely adopted for … [Read more...] about Flexible and Efficient MMC Digital Twin Realized With Small-Scale Real-Time Simulators
Assessing SMPS Voltage Regulator Dynamics From Output Impedance
Stable operation of a SMPS (switching voltage power supply) hinges on action within the feedback control and compensation network. The way in which the regulator performs is also influenced by the nature of filters attached on either side of it between the source and load. This article shows how stability can be assessed using only knowledge of the system’s output impedance. … [Read more...] about Assessing SMPS Voltage Regulator Dynamics From Output Impedance
