By integrating a modified Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation scheme, the converter achieves near-SiC efficiency during partial load operation of a three-phase industrial motor. Remarkably, it utilizes only half the SiC area of a full SiC converter, making it both cost-effective and straightforward to implement. A motor model is defined to analytically assess the impact of semiconductor loss mechanisms and establish criteria for an efficient industrial motor converter. Simulations based on empirical measurements are conducted to optimize the SiC/Si ratio and generate efficiency curves for the converters under investigation. The results demonstrate that the hybrid converter can reduce partial load losses by two-thirds compared to a conventional IGBT converter. These simulations are validated by experimental loss measurements on a prototype converter, confirming the high accuracy of the simulation results. The proposed converter offers significant advantages, including high flexibility, ease of implementation, and increased power density, with only a moderate rise in converter cost.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":"6 ","pages":"1282-1295"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11080056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144705292","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, prior studies have been limited to investigating only active power transfers and basic operating features. This article addresses this gap by proposing three operating flexibility enhancements for the M2AC: 1) accommodating practical power flow scenarios where independent control of active and reactive powers is needed, 2) eliminating large dc-link capacitors to realize a fully modular and scalable architecture, and 3) incorporating full fault blocking akin to ac circuit breaker functionality. The fundamental operating principles and fault-blocking characteristics are thoroughly studied for different M2AC design variants, and a comparative analysis is conducted to quantify potential semiconductor savings in comparison to the back-to-back modular multilevel converter as a benchmark. Converter controls incorporating active and reactive power flow management and internal capacitor voltage cell balancing are developed. The M2AC’s steady-state and transient operation and fault-blocking capabilities are validated through simulation studies and further confirmed by experimental tests using a laboratory-scale 250 V<sub>pk</sub>, 1 kVA prototype.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":"6 ","pages":"1269-1281"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11078915","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704902","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}

The proposed converter produces high DC output voltages at a low value of duty cycles and low voltage stress across the power MOSFETs. The CIs’ turn ratios give another freedom factor to increase the output voltages and decrease the switches’ stress. The proposed converter ensures low input current ripple by designing the first coupled inductor’s turn ratios. The converter’s operation is analyzed at three zones of the switches’ duty cycles, and the optimum zone is detected to enhance the converter’s efficiency. Dynamic modeling, control strategy, and decoupling of dual output topology are thoroughly investigated. A comparison of the proposed converter with other SIDO/SISO topologies reported in the literature is provided, and the critical features of the proposed converter are highlighted.

This paper investigates the application of multi-layer ceramic capacitors, MLCCs, as parallel capacitors in grid-connected converters, focusing on the nonlinear behavior of these components. Unlike traditional capacitors, MLCCs, particularly Class II ceramics like X7R, exhibit voltage-dependent capacitance characteristics, which can introduce beneficial effects for EMI reduction. The study explores different types of MLCCs, comparing NP0/C0G and X7R, and highlights their respective behaviors in controlling voltage (dv/dt) and current (di/dt) transients. Through simulation and experimental validation, it is demonstrated that EMI mitigation using nonlinear MLCCs is more effective than using linear capacitor types as parallel capacitors. The findings of this research provide insight into the selection and application of parallel capacitors in grid-connected converters, with a focus on minimizing EMI.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":"6 ","pages":"1255-1268"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11072728","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144687680","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}

To meet industry needs, researchers have developed different testing coupons to capture the early failure of microvias using accelerated testing. However, the percentage of failing microvias is insignificant when considering the failure phenomenon. It highlights the need for a statistical model that can give a significant likelihood of failure microvias that can be reviewed for reliability studies. In this paper, we have developed a statistical test model of microvia using the stress-strength interference method to enhance the possibility of microvia failure to investigate the phenomenon of failure during thermomechanical loading. Finite element models were developed using the design of the experiment technique using the Taguchi method. The results showed a 12% increase in the probability of microvia failure, providing sufficient room to find the behavior of microvias that fail.

Hence, their accuracy could significantly degrade in the face of non-stationary frequencies, which is common in low-inertia power systems. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for real-time estimation of a time-varying power frequency and the resulting fundamental signal. This is a time-domain method for (1) estimating <italic>non-stationary</i> frequency and (2) fundamental signal reconstruction. It has the advantage of tracking the fundamental frequency component and treating all harmonics and subharmonics as noise. The method is based on a kernel-based estimation scheme and characterized by high accuracy, fast response, and noise immunity because of the inclusion of non-asymptotic kernel functions. The effectiveness of the proposed estimation scheme for non-stationary frequency tracking and fundamental signal reconstruction is verified by simulation and experimental results, which explore the use of the proposed scheme for frequency extraction of power signals appear in real world low-inertia systems.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":"6 ","pages":"1202-1214"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11052682","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144646672","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}

Although the development of wind power plants (WPPs) has made a significant contribution to addressing the demand for clean and cheap energy, the integration of large-scale WPPs introduces a series of technical challenges to power system operations. These challenges involved control, protection, and adherence to specified power quality standards. Particularly, power quality plays a vital role in utility systems and industries having direct technical and economic impact on both power consumers and suppliers. To tackle such issues, various grid codes have been initiated by regulation authorities. Moreover, different ancillary devices and control approaches have been adopted to comply with the established grid code. This article aims to review the state-of-the-art research and progress, while considering the main challenges related to dynamic performance and power quality enhancement of emerging grid-forming wind power plants. Various topologies of wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) are examined and compared, and their control strategies are investigated. A comprehensive review on power quality and dynamic response issues caused by large-scale wind power integration is presented. Moreover, the evolving grid code requirements for grid-connected WPPs in most leading countries including Denmark, U.K., Australia, Germany, and the USA are analyzed and compared. Furthermore, the improvement approaches proposed in the literature are investigated and classified on different basis and their pros and cons are discussed. A brief discussion on the solutions and future directions is presented.
