van Nijen, D.A. (author), Stevens, Tristan (author), Mercimek, Yavuzhan (author), Yang, G. (author), van Swaaij, R.A.C.M.M. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Manganiello, P. (author)Nowadays, an increasing share of photovoltaic (PV) systems makes use of module- or submodule-level power electronics (PE). Furthermore, PE is used in stand-alone devices powered by PV-storage solutions. One way to facilitate further implementation of PE in PV applications is to integrate PE components into crystalline silicon PV cells. Herein...journal article 2024

van Nijen, D.A. (author), Manganiello, P. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author)Power electronics traditionally plays a crucial role in conditioning the power of photovoltaic (PV) modules and connecting the systems to the electricity grid. Recently, PV module designs with more sub-module power electronics are gaining increased attention. These designs can offer higher reliability and improved resilience against non...review 2022

Yadav, S. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Balancing converters are an integral part of a bipolar dc grid. Resonant converter topologies are interesting for power electronics engineers due to their soft switching capabilities. A series resonant converter topology is promising as a balancing converter in a bipolar dc grid. The series resonant converter is usually a non-inverting...conference paper 2022

Peyghami, S. (author), Palensky, P. (author), Blaabjerg, Frede (author)Renewable energy resources are becoming the dominating element in power systems. Along with de-carbonization, they transform power systems into a more distributed, autonomous, bottom-up style one. We speak of Smart Grid and Microgrid when distributed energy resources take over. While being a means to improve technical and financial efficiency,...journal article 2020

(author), Liu, Fengman (author), Lin, Tingyu (author), Cao, Liqiang (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Ferreira, Braham (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this article, a microchannel thermal management system (MTMS) with the two-phase flow using the refrigerant R1234yf with low global warming potential is presented. The thermal test vehicles (TTVs) were made of either single or multiple thermal test chips embedded in the substrates, which were then attached to the MTMS. The system included...journal article 2020

Wu, Y. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Back-To-Back (B2B) Voltage Source Converter (VSC) with AC-side LCL filters can be adopted for parallel AC-DC distribution links. In this paper, Grid-side Current Control (GCC) for the inner/fast control loops of the front- and backend power electronics are implemented in order to enhance the system performance against grid disturbances. Herein,...conference paper 2019

Zhang, H. (author), Liu, Y. (author), Wang, Lingen (author), Sun, Fenglian (author), Fan, Jiajie (author), Placette, Mark D. (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Modern power electronics has the increased demands in current density and high-temperature reliability. However, these performance factors are limited due to the die attach materials used to affix power dies microchips to electric circuitry. Although several die attach materials and methods exist, nanosilver sintering technology has received...journal article 2019

Teixeira Pinto, R. (author)When large amounts of electricity need to be transported for long distances, or when underground or submarine cables are involved, using direct current high-voltage transmission systems is more efficient and cost effective than using traditional high-voltage alternating current transmission. Therefore, the main thesis objective is to study to...doctoral thesis 2014

Josifovic, I. (author)Current PCB power converter construction technologies are based on the utilization of nonstandardized building blocks. Utilization of passive components with various shapes, poor thermal properties and mixed technology mounting (THT and SMT) represents fundamental limit for reaching high power density, effective thermal management, particular...doctoral thesis 2014

Teixeira Pinto, R. (author), Fragoso Rodrigues, S. (author), Wiggelinkhuizen, E. (author), Scherrer, R. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Pierik, P. (author)For achieving the European renewable electricity targets, a significant contribution is foreseen to come from offshore wind energy. Considering the large scale of the future planned offshore wind farms and the increasing distances to shore, grid integration through a transnational DC network is desirable for several reasons. This article...journal article 2012

Yuan, Z. (author)In modern power systems, there is a great demand to control the power flow actively. Power flow controlling devices (PFCDs) are required for such purpose, because the power flow over the lines is the nature result of the impedance of each line. Due to the control capabilities of different types of PFCDs, the trend is that mechanical PFCDs are...doctoral thesis 2010

Baalbergen, F. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Ferreira, J.A. (author)Diesel generators in small electricity grids are mostly not used in a very efficient way. The reason for this is twofold. First of all, the efficiency of a diesel generator is dependent on the ratio determined by the average power divided by the peak power of the generator. The smaller this ratio is, the lower the efficiency. Furthermore, some...journal article 2009

Morren, J. (author)An increasing number of small Distributed Generation (DG) units are connected to the grid. The introduction of DG causes several problems, which are mainly related to the differences between DG units and conventional generators. Four problems have been considered in this thesis: damping of harmonics, voltage control, the behaviour of DG units...doctoral thesis 2006

Gerber, M.B. (author)This thesis is concerned with the design and implementation of a power electronic system (14/42V DC/DC converter) that is implemented in the automotive environment, specifically the engine compartment. The power electronic system must have a high power density while operating in a high temperature environment. Power electronic modules are...doctoral thesis 2005

Popovic, J. (author)The use of power electronics is growing extensively in applications such as the automotive field, lighting, power supplies, motor drives, etc. The ultimate goal is to make power electronics as transparent to the final user as possible, which means little extra cost, use of existing space and little or no extra thermal management. This sets very...doctoral thesis 2005
