A dielectric stress compensation structure on the back side of the wafers is therefore introduced and shown to reduce the resulting wafer bow by up to 50%. Planar MIS capacitors using a 1 μm thick dielectric layer stack achieve dielectric breakdown voltages of up to 1000 V along with capacitance densities of 5.4 nF/cm2.

Making use of the economically most viable solution, the researchers have always strived to increase the reliability of such drives, while constantly trying to decrease maintenance cost. On the other hand, including a large number of sensors, required by the novel control techniques, usually have the opposite effect. Therefore, a logical sequence of events shifted the research focus to sensorless control strategies, based on the advanced algorithm for speed estimation. As the more reliable concept, speed estimation based on magnetic anisotropy is used for high performance drives. In addition, these algorithms are used for parameter adaptation mechanisms for standard model based speed estimation. This paper will present the possibility of speed estimation based on the detection of rotor slot harmonics. The experimental verification will be performed on an advanced laboratory prototype for control of electrical drives, developed at the Faculty of Technical Sciences.","PeriodicalId":243099,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Power Electronics (Ee)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115380251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed LCI circuit is able to inject the DC power to the grid at the unity power factor and with reduced harmonic levels. The proposed circuit with voltage-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is implemented in grid-connected PV system. The experimental results show that proposed system can extract the maximum power from PV array under varying irradiation levels. Besides, the power factor can be adjusted by modifying firing angle of SCRs. The modified LCI injects sinusoidal currents into the grid, thus the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid currents is about 5% or less, which is meet IEEE 1547 grid-connected standard. The results were obtained without any harmonic compensation or filter equipment when compared with the conventional LCI and current source inverter (CSI).","PeriodicalId":243099,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Power Electronics (Ee)","volume":"600 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123158105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methodology is derived by linearization of the Cauchy-Riemann equations, which define the conformal mapping property of the Nyquist trajectories. The proposed technique is of high practical value, since it can be performed from frequency-domain data obtained by small-signal perturbation (i.e., explicit transfer functions are not needed). A detailed study case, focused on a medium-voltage dc microgrid, is provided in order to verify the theoretical approach.

In the proposed model, the equations for the non-shoot-through state and those for the shoot-through state are alternately executed, depending on the qZSI state. The parasitic resistances of the qZSI capacitors/inductors as well as the magnetic saturation of the qZSI inductors are all accounted for.
