Challenges for the Goal of 100% Renewable Energy Sources to Fit the Green Transition
2022
The increasing penetration of Renewable Energy (RE) into the electrical market is desirable in terms of sustainability. Nevertheless, it is a challenge that all the interested actors shall address from both the technical and economical points of view. This paper provides an overview of the main challenges and solutions towards the technological transition to an electrical system with 100% renewable energy sources in terms of innovations and operative limits of the traditional systems. These innovative paradigms will also address the social impact and government policies.
A Configuration of 3-phase Traction Inverter Employing {SiC} Devices
2022
In the scenario of a more and more sustainable society, an increasing electrification in different fields, such as mobility and industrial applications, is foreseen in the next decades. As far as power electronics is concerned, a challenging perspective is represented by achieving higher and higher switching frequencies while maintaining high voltage and low power losses. To do that, emerging semiconductor technologies are supposed to be increasingly employed, as well as innovative topologies of connections among switching devices. Among them, the cascode configuration can notably contribute to achieve high levels of dV/dt without losing efficiency. In this paper, a 3-phase Pulse Width Modu…
Magnetic field effects on human body of wireless chargers for E-bikes
2017
For the electric vehicles battery charging, the wireless power transmission is increasingly representing an innovative solution. The inductive power transfer is the standard technology of wireless charging: the energy transfer occurs between two magnetically coupled coils. Although this battery charging system is especially convenient for E-bikes, the physiological effects of the related magnetic fields shall be estimated and taken into account. In this paper, a 200 W prototype of wireless battery charger for E-bikes is proposed and described. Moreover, various measurements of the surrounding magnetic field are carried out to evaluate the actual physiological compatibility of the system.
DC Bias Abatement in Dual Active Bridge Converter using Covalent Active and Passive Components
2022
The Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter is the most attractive bidirectional DC-DC converter topology in the distribution network. However, the DC bias is the most common issue in the dual active bridge converter due to the sudden change in internal or external phase shift angles to regulate the power signal. Consequently, it will increase conduction losses, a core saturation problem of High-Frequency Transformer (HFT), and loss of Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) operation. Therefore, this paper presents the DC bias abatement in the DAB converter using covalent active and passive components to alleviate these problems. The proposed method employs the series capacitor in the windings of HFT as t…
