The future of organic photovoltaic solar cells as a direct power source for consumer electronics Hasselt University KU Leuven University of Antwerp
As the search for marketable photovoltaic solar cells continues, organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cells have been identified as a technology with many attractive features for commercialization. Most photovoltaic technologies on the market today were improved in the consumer electronics market segment. A similar evolution has been envisioned for OPV. Hence this paper investigates consumer preferences for solar cells directly powering consumer ...
Integrated Power Electronics Interface for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), the battery system would be recharged from the AC grid at home or at work and would thus allow for a reduction in the overall fuel consumption. This paper proposes an advanced power electronics interface (APEI) for PHEV applications, which mainly comprises a Bidirectional Multi-Device Interleaved Converter (BMDIC) and Eight-Switch Inverter (ESI), in order to reduce the cost and the volume of the ...
Process Optimization of Injection Overmolding Structural Electronics with Regard to Film Distortion Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre Ghent University
The integration of structural electronics in injection-molded parts is a challenging step. The films-comprising of laminated stacks with electronics-are exposed to shear stresses and elevated temperatures by the molten thermoplastic. Hence, molding settings have a significant impact on the successful, damage-free manufacturing of such parts. In this paper, test films with polycarbonate (PC) sheets as outer and two different thermoplastic ...
Selective ablation for patterning organic electronics Ghent University
Stretchable and washable electronics for embedding in textiles Ghent University
Methodology to prospect electronics compositions and flows, illustrated by material trends in printed circuit boards Ghent University
Raw Materials are crucial in the development, production, and improvement of modern-day technology. Reliable access to critical, scarce, and valuable materials used in electronics is becoming a worldwide concern. Therefore, the quantification of material recovery from the urban mine is currently pursued worldwide. Commonly, data on (Waste) Electrical and Electronic Equipment is scattered, not harmonized, and uses different types of ...
Comparative Study of Electronics Visualisation Techniques for E-Learning Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We developed a learning platform that integrates three different existing methods for virtual experiments in the context of electronics and electricity. These methods include the Falstad simulator, a web service based SPICE simulator in electronics, and an attractive 3D visualization model with preliminary web interface called Videomodels. Based on this platform, we evaluated the representation and perception of each method. The main conclusion ...
Inductive components in power electronics Ghent University
Often the effort in Power Electronics is concentrated in the design of control and active power components. However inductors and transformers have to be designed as well and are often specific for converters. Usually the core is still selected within available shapes, but the winding type has to be designed on purpose. In today transformers and inductors for power Electronics, almost no design is possible any more without taking eddy current ...
