Lindeman, Pim (author), Steijlen, A.S.M. (author), Bastemeijer, J. (author), Bossche, A. (author)One of the major challenges associated with e-textiles is the connection between flexible fabric-integrated wires and rigid electronics. This work aims to increase the user experience and mechanical reliability of these connections by foregoing conventional galvanic connections in favor of inductively coupled coils. The new design allows for...journal article 2023

Chen, Wei (author), Jiang, Jing (author), Meda, Abdulmelik H. (author), Ibrahim, Mesfin S. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)SiC MOSFET is mainly characterized by the higher electric breakdown field, higher thermal conductivity, and lower switching loss enabling high breakdown voltage, high-temperature operation, and high switching frequency. However, their performances are considerably limited by the high parasitic inductance and poor heat dissipation capabilities...journal article 2023

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Light-duty electric vehicles (EVs) typically have a rated voltage of either 400 or 800 V. Especially when considering public parking infrastructures or owners with multiple EVs, e.g., car rental companies, EV wireless chargers must efficiently deliver electric power to both battery options. For this purpose, this article proposes an advanced...journal article 2023

van Nijen, D.A. (author), Muttillo, M. (author), Van Dyck, R.I.K. (author), Poortmans, Jef (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author), Manganiello, P. (author)To achieve a high performance in sub-module power conditioning circuits, it is important that power converters are designed in accordance with the photovoltaic (PV) cell impedance at the input. Taking this one step further, exploiting the impedance of cell strings could even support novel power conditioning approaches in PV modules. In this...journal article 2023

Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The lithium-ion battery of an electric vehicle (EV) is typically rated at either 400 or 800 V. When considering public parking infrastructures, EV wireless chargers must efficiently deliver electric power to both battery options. This can be normally achieved by regulating the output voltage through a dc-dc converter at the cost of higher...journal article 2023
