Improving SiC JFET Switching Behavior Under Influence of Circuit Parasitics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the switching behavior of normally OFF silicon carbide (SiC) JFETs in an inverter for a motor drive and found that the capacitive coupling between SiC devices in the bridge leg and heat sinks significantly deteriorates the JETs' switching performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Power Electronics Enabling Efficient Energy Usage: Energy Savings Potential and Technological Challenges
Jelena Popovic-Gerber,Jesus A. Oliver,Nicolas Cordero,T. Harder,J.A. Cobos,Michael Hayes,S. C. O'Mathuna,Erich Prem +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of power electronics for energy savings in four major application fields, buildings and lighting, power supplies, smart electricity grid, and industrial drives, is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating battery lifetimes in Solar Home System design using a practical modelling methodology
Nishant Narayan,Thekla Papakosta,Victor Vega-Garita,Zian Qin,Jelena Popovic-Gerber,Pavol Bauer,Miroslav Zeman +6 more
TL;DR: A practical, non-empirical battery lifetime estimation methodology specific to the application and the available candidate battery choices that can potentially help SHS designers in estimating battery lifetimes and therefore making optimal SHS design choices.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparison of Si and GaN power devices used in PV module integrated converters
TL;DR: The presented results show that the first generation of GaN devices outperforms the best in class Si devices, since GaN is immature technology, and further improvements will be seen in the years to come.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the boundaries of Solar Home Systems (SHS) for off-grid electrification: Optimal SHS sizing for the multi-tier framework for household electricity access
Nishant Narayan,Ali Chamseddine,Victor Vega-Garita,Zian Qin,Jelena Popovic-Gerber,Pavol Bauer,Miroslav Zeman +6 more
TL;DR: An optimal SHS sizing methodology is presented that minimizes the loss of load probability (LLP), excess energy dump, and battery size while maximizing the battery lifetime.
