Zeven, Koen (author)For this thesis, we consider two $k$-colorings of a graph $G$ adjacent if one can recolor one into the other by changing the color of one vertex. The reconfiguration graph of a graph $G$ on $k$ colors $\mathcal{C}_{k}(G)$ is the graph for which the vertices are the $k$-colorings of $G$, and an edge is between two $k$-colorings if they are...bachelor thesis 2023

Linders, Koen (author)The transportation sector is moving towards a green future with a rapidly growing EV market and consequently, the demand for EV chargers is rising too. With the increased interest in 800V batteries and the current presence of 400V and 600V batteries, the voltage range for EV chargers is wide (150V-1000V). In this thesis, a wide-output EV charger...master thesis 2023

Liu, Shurui (author), Lu, T. (author), Tang, Z. (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Jiang, Junmin (author), Zhao, Bo (author), Du, S. (author)In this article, we propose a reconfigurable regulating rectifier with a wide operational range for wireless power transfer. The proposed three-mode rectifier achieves a broad range voltage regulation without global loop control to minimize the chip area occupation. Compared with previous work, more working modes and greater voltage gain...journal article 2023

Li, H. (author), Lekić, A. (author), Li, Shan (author), Jiang, Dongrong (author), Guo, Qiang (author), Zhou, Lin (author)The distribution network (DN) reconfiguration is a well-known optimal power flow (OPF) problem. However, with the transition of DN from 'passive' to 'active', new technical challenges arise in DN reconfiguration. This article addresses two key issues in this regard. Firstly, the integration of local renewable generation (LRG) introduces...journal article 2023
