Nogal Macho, M. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), O'Connor, A. (author)The concept of intrinsic vulnerability of a traffic network is defined for the first time in this paper. Intrinsic vulnerability is the susceptibility to incidents characterised by a probability of occurrence in space and time of difficult estimation, which can result in considerable reduction or loss of the system functionality. Given the...journal article 2019

Jiang, Jing (author), Chen, Wei (author), Qian, Yichen (author), Meda, Abdulmelik H. (author), Fan, X. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)Considerable advancements in power semiconductor devices have resulted in such devices being increasingly adopted in applications of energy generation, conversion, and transmission. Hence, we proposed a fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) design for 30-V Si-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). To achieve...journal article 2023

Ahmadi, M. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Modular Multilevel Converters (MMCs) find increasing applications in medium to high-voltage systems. In such systems, reliability-oriented selection of power electronic switches becomes essential because higher modularity implies an increased number of components. The trade-off between the impact of higher modularity on converter reliability...journal article 2023

Christodoulou, A. (author), van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)In this paper, a method is proposed for solving relative translations of 3D point clouds collected by Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) techniques. The proposed approach uses the attributes of the 3D points to generate and match 2D-projections, by employing a simple correlation technique instead of matching in 3D. As a result, the developed method...journal article 2018

Bakker, N.J. (author), Rasia, Alix (author), Assen, Suzanne (author), Aflouat, Basma Ben Said (author), Weeber, A.W. (author), Theelen, Mirjam (author)When a PV module is partially shaded, the shaded solar cells operate in a reverse bias condition. For Cu(In,Ga)Se2 cells this condition can cause defects that irreversibly reduce the output of these cells and the full module. In order to design robust shade-tolerant CIGS modules details need to be known of the conditions at which these...journal article 2020
