Maximum Power Point in a Single Step: A Novel Method for PV Industry
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
