Practical Considerations for Better Implementation of GaN in Power Electronic Converters KU Leuven
Gallium nitride (GaN) material devices are considered as a promising device for next-generation power electronics due to its intrinsic properties such as high-breakdown field, high-electron mobility, low ON-resistance, and good thermal conductivity. Due to the introduction of GaN materials, applications such as power converters have obtained remarkable improvements. Therefore, the aim of this project is to address the implications of ...

Using switching power converters for the parameter identification of permanent-magnet synchronous machines. Ghent University
This research studies the use of switching power converters for the parameter identification of synchronous machines. To drive a synchronous machine, a controller switching converter is often used. The parameter identification is used to optimize online the control of the synchronous machine for the purpose of obtaining a more energy efficient drive and to enhance the drives dynamic behaviour.

AI-based power converter design and implementation for efficient and reliable PV systems in Niger KU Leuven
Located in Sub-Saharan Africa, Niger has one of the lowest access of electricity in the world. Therefore, increasing electrical energy can improve the country’s global economy. Electrical power production can be increased by installing PV systems and connecting them to the main grid using power converters. As the construction of several microgrids to connect them to the main grid is increasing, key technology, such as power converters, is ...

Smart Hybrid DC-DC converters for Li-ion Battery Operated Portable Electronics KU Leuven
The goal of this dissertation is to develop power management integrated circuits (PMICs) for Li-ion battery-operated portable electronics that are lightweight, affordable, and efficient. On the one hand, a limited energy source, such as a small battery, mandates efficient use of energy to extend battery life. Emerging applications like internet-of-things (IoTs), on the other hand, push for incredibly smaller footprints. The traditional method ...
