Shekhar, A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)DC links with back to back voltage source converters are usually built alongside the existing medium voltage ac distribution grids for infrastructure reinforcement. The distribution network operators need to run multiple of such parallel ac and dc links between two substations at optimal efficiency. This article shows that the active power...journal article 2021

Bertelli, I. (author), Simon, B.G. (author), Yu, T. (author), Aarts, Jan (author), Bauer, G.E. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), van der Sar, T. (author)Spin waves in magnetic insulators are low-damping signal carriers that can enable a new generation of spintronic devices. The excitation, control, and detection of spin waves by metal electrodes is crucial for interfacing these devices to electrical circuits. As such, it is important to understand metal-induced damping of spin-wave transport,...journal article 2021

Shi, W. (author), Dong, J. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)One of the challenges with the dynamic inductive power transfer (DIPT) technique is the electric vehicle detection (EVD) that helps the DIPT system to control the power supply of the transmitter. The EVD method applying auxiliary coils is a promising candidate because the flat shape of the auxiliary coils is suitable for the compact design....journal article 2021

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), van Duijsen, P.J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)In wireless charging systems, the H-bridge converter's switching frequency is set close to the system's natural resonance for achieving optimized zero voltage switching (ZVS). Variations to the system's natural resonance are commonly tracked by following the changes in the resonant current's polarity, i.e., current zero-crossings. The main...journal article 2021

Xu, J. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Gao, Fei (author), Tang, Houjun (author), Bauer, P. (author)Three-legs active power decoupling (APD) converters are widely studied in the single-phase grid-connected systems to enhance the circuit lifetime by creating an alternative path for the typical existing dc-side power pulsating ripple. Therefore, this reduces the requirement of smoothing dc capacitors allowing compact designs even with the...journal article 2021

van Kessel, C.L. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)Dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs) are commonly modeled by lumped-element models (LEMs), however such models do not capture the cutoff behavior that manifests at relatively low frequencies due to the high resistivity of the stretchable electrodes. Moreover, the contribution of the electrodes into the lumped series resistance is not...journal article 2021

Ortmanns, Lara C. (author), Bauer, G.E. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We determine magnon spectra of an atomic bilayer magnet with ferromagnetic intra- and both ferro- and antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling. Analytic expressions for the full magnon band of the latter case reveal that both exchange interactions govern the fundamental magnon gap. The inter- and intralayer magnetic ordering are not independent:...journal article 2021

Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Beloqui Larumbe, L. (author), Bauer, P. (author)To accurately simulate electric vehicle DC fast chargers' (DCFCs') harmonic emission, a small time step, i.e., typically smaller than 10 μs, is required owing to switching dynamics. However, in practice, harmonics should be continuously assessed with a long duration, e.g., a day. A trade-off between accuracy and time efficiency thus exists. To...journal article 2021
