Optimal Synergetic Control of a Three-Phase Two-Stage Ultra-Wide Output Voltage Range EV Battery Charger Employing a Novel Hybrid Quantum Series Resonant DC/DC Converter
(2020)2020 IEEE 21st Workshop on Control and Modeling for Power Electronics (COMPEL)A wide output voltage range (200 − 1000V DC ) isolated two-stage three-phase EV charger is proposed. The system employs a boost-type two-level PFC rectifier front-end and the subsequent novel Hybrid Quantum Series Resonant DC/DC Converter (H-QSRC) output stage, which is left either unregulated with constant voltage transfer ratio or is used to emulate a buck or boost behavior. For reducing the H-QSRC voltage transfer ratio discretization, ...Conference Paper -
Wide-Input-Voltage-Range 3 kW DC-DC Converter with Hybrid LLC Boundary / Discontinuous Mode Control
(2020)2020 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC)Growing applications such as electric vehicles, data centers, and industrial robotics require power-dense and efficient converters systems to provide high output currents at low output voltages of generally 12 V. Today's converters achieve high efficiencies at a specific input voltage, but drastically lose efficiency once the input voltage deviates from its nominal value. A large voltage swing, however, is a common situation in the ...Conference Paper -
Transient Calorimetric Measurement of Ferrite Core Losses
(2020)2020 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC)An accurate and fast transient calorimetric ferrite core-loss measurement method is proposed in this paper. In contrast to electrical measurements, the accuracy of the calorimetric approach is independent of the magnetic excitation and operating frequency. However, an accurate value of the thermal capacitance of the Core Under Test (CUT) is required, which can be achieved, e.g., by measuring the specific heat capacity of the measured core ...Conference Paper -

Analysis and Evaluation of Active/Hybrid/Passive dv/dt-Filter Concepts for Next Generation SiC-Based Variable Speed Drive Inverter Systems
(2020)2020 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE)State-of-the-art variable speed drive inverter systems are typically employing 1200 V Si IGBTs with antiparallel freewheeling diodes, resulting in a large overall semiconductor chip area, relatively high switching losses and/or low switching frequencies, and causing a substantial on-state voltage drop in both current directions, which inherently limits the peak and part-load efficiency. SiC MOSFETs are seen as natural future replacement ...Conference Paper -
