Molenaar, Margo (author)The reliability of power semiconductor devices is an important feature when designing converter, since the semiconductors are prone to failure and a weak link in the system. Power semiconductor devices are susceptible to thermo-mechanical stresses, and should be investigated to make reliable semiconductors. The power losses inside the device...master thesis 2023

De Herdt, Lode (author)The charging of a rapidly increasing number of EVs places significant strain on electrical distribution grids. Controlled (’smart’) charging of EVs offers a solution to this problem by shifting the charging of vehicles to the most optimal moments in time. Smart charging is not a completely new research topic; it has a high Technology Readiness...master thesis 2020
