Abstract: The paper presents a control strategy for balancing DC-link capacitor voltages in a five-level hybrid diode-clamped (5L-HDC) inverter, consisting of two half-bridges and diode-clamped cells.

The Linear Complementarity Models can be employed to analyze and simulate circuits with internal switching behavior. Power electronic converters can be considered as consisting of piecewise linear ...

Scientists in the Middle East have developed a series active filter to improve power quality in grid-tied PV systems, consisting of an inductor, two capacitors, and four transistor-diode pairs. The ...

Many hobbies seem to have a subset of participants who just can’t leave well enough alone. Think about hot rodders, who squeeze every bit of power out of engines they can, or PC overclockers, who ...

Abstract: Recent advancements in dc microgrids demand high-gain dc–dc converters for efficient energy conversion. In this regard, this article proposes a family of five new quadratic boost converters ...

Smartphones are capable of doing a lot of things that older mobile phones were never capable of. That's not at all surprising given that the modern devices are essentially tiny powerful computers that ...

Engineers have shown that something as simple as the flow of air through open-cell foam can be used to perform digital computation, analog sensing and combined digital-analog control in soft ...

A boost converter is a DC-DC converter that utilizes the principle of inductor current reluctance and diode rectification to achieve a higher output voltage compared to the input voltage. It has four ...

The ionizing radiation symbol, featuring three curved blades emanating from a central point, has been used since 1946 to warn workers, scientists and the public of the presence of radioactive material ...
