Zhu, G. (author), Dong, J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)It is ideal for the wireless power transfer (WPT) systems to operate at the resonance state for better transmission performance. In practice, however, the parameters of the resonant circuits often deviate because of the capacitance drift and coil misalignment. To this end, this paper proposes a new parameter estimation method for the WPT systems...conference paper 2023

Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Reinforcement of the legacy grid infrastructure will be very costly and thereby unrealistic. Consequently, weak grid connection of electric vehicle (EV) chargers will sooner or later be the case. It may however bring instability issues since the EV chargers that can work well in strong grid conditions usually do not fit the weak grid...conference paper 2023

Kardan Halvaei, F. (author), Shekhar, A. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The load profile of the power converter in EV Fast charging applications involves a short high-current pulse for rapid charging of the EV battery leading to thermal cycles on the power electronic devices. These thermal cycles can cause thermo-mechanical fatigues, which consume the power devices’ lifetime. Also, different timescales and magnitude...conference paper 2023
