Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Photovoltaic Voltage
TL;DR: The method of successive linearization simplifies the nonlinear problem back to the linear case and the use of Youla parameterization to design a stable control system for regulating the photovoltaic voltage is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation Into IGBT dV/dt During Turn-Off and Its Temperature Dependence
TL;DR: In this article, a method for measuring the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) junction temperature using the collector voltage dV/dt at turn-off is outlined, closely agreeing with experimental measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Centered Differentiation and Steepest Descent to Maximum Power Point Tracking
TL;DR: The method of steepest descent for MPPT is adopted, which shows faster dynamic response and smoother steady state than the method of hill climbing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circuit simulator models for the diode and IGBT with full temperature dependent features
TL;DR: In this article, a temperature dependent modeling of NPT IGBTs and diodes is presented and compared to validate the modeling approach, and simulation and experimental results are presented and compare to validate their approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploration of Power Device Reliability using Compact Device Models and Fast Electro-Thermal Simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the application of compact insulated gate bipolar transistor and p-i-n diode models, including features such as local lifetime control and field-stop technology, to the full electrothermal system simulation of a hybrid electric vehicle converter using a lookup table of device losses.
