During the last decades the number of microgrids and their research have increased notably, as they offer a high versatility for the integration of distributed generation (DG) units and renewable energies. Among the different ...

The reduced capability of the 5L-NPC Inverter to balance the voltages of the four DC-bus capacitors makes this converter unattractive for real power applications. This is especially true if the load demands active power. ...

Offshore wind farms provide benefits over onshore farms in terms of the amount of generated energy and environmental impact. Cost efficient energy transmission is one of the challenges of such installations. In this context, ...

SiC semiconductors have better characteristics than Si, improving power electronics converters performances. A prototype that can switch semiconductor technology without changing any other part of the system is built and ...

This paper discusses the new possibilities that partial power processing offers to implement silicon semiconductors compared to wide-bandgap technologies. With this purpose, an on-board charger application is presented as ...

Nowadays, the emergence of electrically supplied actuators and energy storage systems is leading the aeronautic industry to develop aircrafts with more electrical power installed. Therefore, different Power-Electronic ...
