de Winkel, J. (author), Tang, Haozhe (author), Pawełczak, Przemysław (author)We present an architecture for intermittently-powered wireless communication systems that does not require any changes to the official protocol specification. Our core idea is to save the intermediate state of the wireless protocol to non-volatile memory within each connection interval. The protocol state is then deterministically restored at...conference paper 2022

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)This paper investigates the interoperability of the proposed voltage/current doubler (V/I-D) converter used for wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs), which achieves high efficiency when charging both 400V and 800V batteries at the same power. Nominally, the V/I-D converter employs bipolar pads (BPP) at both the primary and the secondary...conference paper 2022

Alfisi, Daniel (author), Shocron, Amit N. (author), Gloukhovski, Robert (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author), Suss, Matthew E. (author)A key bottleneck to society's transition to renewable energy is the lack of cost-effective energy storage systems. Hydrogen-bromine redox flow batteries are seen as a promising solution, due to the use of low-cost reactants and highly conductive electrolytes, but market penetration is prevented due to high capital costs, for example due to...journal article 2022

Izadkhast, S. (author), Cossent, Rafael (author), Frías, Pablo (author), García‐gonzález, Pablo (author), Rodríguez‐calvo, Andrea (author)The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the overall performance of a battery energy storage system (BESS) during I) grid‐connected, II) black start, and III) islanded operating modes. To do so, firstly, a novel three‐mode controller is proposed and developed. The proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is implemented,...journal article 2022

Alpizar Castillo, J.J. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Renewable energy power plants and transport and heating electrification projects are being deployed to enable the replacement of fossil fuels as the primary energy source. This transition encourages distributed generation but makes the grid more weather-dependent, thus reducing its inertia. Simultaneously, electrical network operators face...journal article 2022

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Wireless charging must be highly efficient throughout the entire battery charging profile to compete in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Thus, optimum load matching is commonly used: it operates at the equivalent load that maximizes the efficiency, which depends on the coil's alignment. In this article, the optimum load is made independent...journal article 2022
