Current research lacks a unified system model to describe the operation mechanism and power characteristics under arc faults. This paper proposes an equivalent model of PV-boost power generation system based on series/parallel arc constraints. Firstly, by coupling the arc equivalent model in the PV model, the output characteristics of the PV system in normal and fault states are obtained. Then, by adding the arc link in the power conversion and control model of the PV-boost system, the operation mechanism and power transfer characteristics of the system under two types of arc faults are revealed. Finally, based on the multimodal PV output voltage-current characteristics under arc faults and the voltage-current characteristics at the input end of the boost under maximum power point tracking control, a specific fault identification and classification method for series/parallel arcs is designed, which is easy to implement in engineering and based on the degree of hazard. The feasibility of this scheme is verified.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"53-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11431139","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the low bandwidth of the low-resistance coaxial current shunt (CCS) becomes the hindrance to the WBG device characterizations. This paper proposes a low-cost bandwidth compensation method for the low-resistance CCS. Since the structure of the CCS is complicated, it is regarded as a two-port network, and a high-resistance high-bandwidth CCS is used to generate the compensation transfer function. The proposed method is verified by the double pulse test (DPT) of a Gallium Nitride (GaN) device. The maximum errors for the turn-on switching loss and total switching loss after compensation are 1.1% and 1.2%, respectively. While these values before compensations are 35.3% and 31.7%, respectively. In addition, the proposed method is not sensitive to the preselected testing condition, which indicates its high practical engineering value.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"67-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11351962","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is one of the critical performance indicators for CLLC circuits. To investigate the conducted common-mode (CM) EMI characteristics of the CLLC converter, a CM EMI equivalent circuit model was established based on the noise transmission mechanism, and an equivalent model of the CLLC converter was derived, clarifying the noise source characteristics and the key CM noise transmission path impedances. The noise source characteristics under different operating conditions were analyzed to reveal the CM noise behavior in each condition. Based on this analysis, a symmetry-based design method for optimizing the CM EMI performance of the CLLC converter was proposed, and the impacts of resonant inductor and capacitor symmetry were examined. The correctness of the CM characteristic analysis for the CLLC converter is verified through simulations and experimental tests. By constructing a symmetric resonant cavity structure, the CM noise is attenuated by 20–30 dB, which further validates the feasibility of the symmetric structure-based optimization design method.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"91-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11351961","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147620961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the two key features of this developed control framework that, first, a data-driven control architecture along with deep rein-forcement learning technique that embedding the features of the agents' inputs is developed to enhance the performance, second, the environment for the current agent is reformulated so as to avoid mutual interference between the two agents (controllers) in training for both speed and current in a dual-loop system.

The fault-tolerant methods which require topology reconstruction have the disadvantages of additional cost and unreliability. It is of great significance to study the no-reconstruction fault-tolerant (NFT) method, which only changes the control algorithm. In this paper, a novel NFT method is proposed for induction motor (IM) drive, which consists of the two-mode control algorithm and the algorithm transition strategy. In the healthy mode, conventional model predictive flux control (MPFC) is adopted; in the tolerant mode, a novel MPFC algorithm is proposed to eliminate the effect of the fault power switch by setting the reference fault phase current as zero. The two modes alternate in each current cycle. An algorithm transition strategy is proposed for the smooth transition of two modes, which has the ability to revert to healthy operation even if misdiagnoses occur. The proposed NFT method can significantly reduce the speed oscillation after the fault occurs, and experiment results verify its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"10 4","pages":"423-431"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11273108","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145963452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
