TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe photovoltaic (PV) module architectures with parallel-connected sub-module-integrated dc-dc converters (subMICs) that improve efficiency of energy capture in the presence of partial shading or other mismatch conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of a doubly fed induction generator under unbalanced grid voltage conditions is analyzed theoretically as a function of stator active and reactive instantaneous power exchange by the stator of the DFIG and the grid-side converter (GSC).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a complete analytical switching loss model for power MOSFETs in low voltage switching converters that includes the most relevant parasitic elements, providing information about how these parasitics, especially the inductances, determine switching losses and hence the final converter efficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of GaN-on-SiC HEMTs in conventional pulse-width modulated switched-mode power converters targeting switching frequencies in the tens of megahertz range was explored.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the effects of the simple voltage-balancing differential power processing (DPP) control approach on the sub-module-level maximum power point (MPP) efficiency and show that the submodule MPP efficiency of voltage balancing DPP converters exceeds 98% in the presence of worstcase MPP voltage variations due to irradiance or temperature mismatches.
