Test Solution for Heatsinks in Power Electronics Applications

Ultralow-power electronics for biomedical applications.

The electronics of a general biomedical device consist of energy delivery, analog-to-digital conversion, signal processing, and communication subsystems. Each of these blocks must be designed for minimum energy consumption. Specific design techniques, such as aggressive voltage scaling, dynamic power-performance management, and energy-efficient signaling, must be employed to adhere to the strin...

Applications of Power Electronics in Automotive Power Generation

This paper focuses on the use of switched-mode power electronics to enhance the power, efficiency, and transient performance of Lundell alternators. The application of power electronics in conjunction with both the alternator field and armature are explored. It is shown that the combination of a foil field winding and improved field control electronics enable substantial improvements in field p...

Applications of Rank - Based Filters in Power Electronics

We consider a class of robust, rank-based signal processing filters, particularly with regard to its usefulness in the power electronics field. This class of nonlinear filters is characterized by the inclusion of a sorting element in the signal path. The sorting operation allows these filters to suppress impulsive noise while preserving edges and monotonic sections of signals. This introductory...

Flexible Power Electronic Transformer for Power Flow Control Applications

This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. In this pap...
