  2. 1. Energy Evaluation for DC/DC Converters in DC-Based Wind Farms

    Author : Lena Max; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DC DC converter; loss evaluation; measurements; hard switching converters; wind energy; resonant converters; snubber design;

    Abstract : In this thesis the suitability of three topologies for DC/DC converters in a DC wind farm grid is investigated from an energy efficiency and energy production cost point of view. The three selected topologies are the fullbridge converter, the single active bridge converter and the series parallel resonant converter. READ MORE

  4. 2. Highly-Efficient Energy Harvesting Interfaces for Implantable Biosensors

    Author : Janko Katic; Ana Rusu; Saul Rodriguez; Gabriel Rincón-Mora; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy harvesting interface; thermoelectric generator; glucose biofuel cell; power management; dc-dc converter; boost converter; zero-current switching; zero-voltage switching; implantable biosensor; Energiskördsgränssnitt; termoelektrisk generator; glukosbiobränslecell; energihantering; DC-DC-omvandlare; boost-omvandlare; inplanterbar biosensor; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Energy harvesting is identified as an alternative solution for powering implantable biosensors. It can potentially enable the development of self-powered implants if the harvested energy is properly handled. This development implies that batteries, which impose many limitations, are replaced by miniature harvesting devices. READ MORE

  5. 3. DC-DC Converters - Dynamic Model Design and Experimental Verification

    Author : Bengt Johansson; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotics; buck; dc-dc converter; modeling; audio susceptibility; current-mode control; load current; gain scheduling; current transformer; experimental verification; Electronics and Electrical technology; Automation; Elektronik och elektroteknik; Elektroteknik; Electrical engineering; reglerteknik; robotteknik; Automatiska system; control engineering;

    Abstract : To obtain high performance control of a dc-dc converter, a good model of the converter is needed. The load usually affects the dynamics and one way to take this into consideration is to regard the load as a part of the converter. The load is often the most variable part of this system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Enhanced Active Resonant DC Circuit Breakers for HVDC Grids

    Author : Tim Augustin; Hans-Peter Nee; Marley Becerra; Jürgen Biela; KTH; []
