   EMS for Bidirectional Boost Converter in Hybrid Energy Storage System for residential microgrid applications
By Alejandro LATORRE [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Energy management and efficiency along with component lifetime extension are the most importantconcerns in small scale microgrids. In this document, a energy management system is proposed for ahybrid energy storage system in active configuration. Two different Bidirectional Boost converters areselected as interface components and the controller for the different operation modes are presented. Theproposed energy management system is aimed for residential microgrids and adaptable for electricallypropelled vehicles with minimum adjustment. In simulation, the behaviour of the system presents a carefulmanagement of the stored energy, specially during the operation mode transition that may increasethe lifetime of components while provide efficiency during operation.

   Foldable Motor Integrated Low Voltage Inverter for an Electical Power Steering Application
By David SCHWARZER [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper deals with a printed circuit board (PCB) design for an inverter which is highly integrated intoa motor housing.The PCB is designed for non stationary working points up to around 500 W. Theoreticaldesign as well as tests are discussed. Some fundamental design rules are described. A practicalrealization for a large volume production application is given.

   High Voltage Power Amplifier for High Precision Mechatronic Systems
By Sjef SETTELS [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Mechatronic systems within industrial applications, e.g. semiconductor manufacturing equipment, require power amplifiers providing high power with high precision. Increasing voltage is favourable compared to increasing current to generate more output power due to limitations in system infrastructure. For this purpose, this research proposes a High Voltage power amplifier by applying a 5-level Flying Capacitor Resonant Pole Inverter (FC RPI). Moreover, trapezoidal filter inductor current, charge-based zero-voltage switching, and an elaborate output and filter current control scheme are added to the amplifier configuration. A model of a mechatronic system is used to generate a current setpoint waveform representing the load current for a single phase of a planar actuator generating forces in two directions. Time domain and spectral domain analysis are presented of the results obtained from the simulation platform constructed of the mechatronic, control and electrical systems. The obtained simulation results indicate proper functioning of the converter configuration, paving the way for future hardware implementation.
