Communication-based distributed secondary control is deemed necessary to restore the state of islanding AC microgrids to set points. As its limited global information, the microgrids become vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which by falsifying the communicating singles, like the angular frequency, can disturb the power dispatch in the microgrids...

The unbalanced power between positive and negative poles in a bipolar DC distribution network (DC-DN) generates an unbalanced current at the neutral line, which enlarges the power losses of the system and the voltage deviation of DC loads. An unbalanced power suppression strategy based on a series-parallel power flow controller (SP-PFC) is...

The lithium-ion battery of an electric vehicle (EV) is typically rated at either 400 or 800 V. When considering public parking infrastructures, EV wireless chargers must efficiently deliver electric power to both battery options. This can be normally achieved by regulating the output voltage through a dc-dc converter at the cost of higher...

This work proposes a hybrid space vector modulation (HSVM) scheme for multiport hybrid converters (MHCs). Moreover, the impact of shifting the auxiliary currents from the main ones is proposed and investigated in order to enhance the converter efficiency. The proposed operational schemes have been implemented in a three-phase 5 kW MHC...

With its potentially disruptive nature, the smart grid can be viewed from both a transformational and an innovation systems perspective. Synthesising these, a research approach is adopted in which a Technological Innovation System (TIS) analysis is combined with a transformational perspective to identify a broader range of success and failure...

Compensation capacitors are naturally susceptible to manufacturing defects and aging effects, leading to the degraded performance of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. This article focuses on the compensation parameters optimization during the design stage and control strategy during the operation phase to improve the inherent capacitor...

Extracting an electric vehicle (EV) charger's input impedance with the analytical model (white-box approach) or the frequency sweep (black-box approach) is limited by the parameter confidentiality or the measurement noise, respectively. To overcome these challenges, a gradient-descent (GD) optimization-based gray-box modeling approach is...

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...

A typical approach to harvesting the excess braking energy of a railway car has been to use a storage system. However, research momentum has been growing in the direction of integrating smart loads like EV chargers into traction networks, and this can offer a more efficient and economical solution to the harvesting of braking energy. This paper...

Power electronics converters are crucial for power generation, transmission, and distribution. The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is highly valued for its ability to handle high power levels, versatility in reconfiguration, high efficiency through small-capacity submodules (SMs), and robust control capabilities. A failure of a power...

Optical photons are ideal carriers for long-distance transmission, while state-of-the-art quantum processors, such as supercon-ducting qubits, operate at microwave frequencies. An important requirement for networked quantum computation is therefore the ability to coherently convert the quantum information from microwave to optical frequencies...

This paper proposes two modulation schemes for Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converters, with the aim of maximizing Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) operation over a wide operational range. The first is a ZVS-optimized constant frequency modulation scheme, constructed based on the boundary conditions of ZVS operation. This scheme maximizes the number...

EV Fast chargers are crucial to alleviate the driving range anxiety for E-mobility applications. A typical converter load profile consists of a short high-current pulse to rapidly refill the EV battery followed by a cooling-off period once the charging is completed. Power electronic components experience thermal cycles as a result, which can...

The critical short circuit ratio (CSCR), as an important metric for grid stability evaluation, is not clearly defined in the literature. Aimed at clarifying the misunderstandings, the paper compares the different CSCR definitions. Moreover, CSCR reduction-oriented design is studied for electric vehicle chargers. Simulations verify the analysis.
