As a new type of smart material, the Dielectric Electro Active Polymer (DEAP) is introduced in terms of configuration, working principle and potential applications. The design of an autonomous high voltage driving system for DEAP actuator is investigated. The system configuration and the design methodology of a high voltage converter are discussed in detail. Based on the heating valve application,...
In radiator thermostat applications, DEAP (Dielectric Electro Active Polymer) actuator tends to be a good candidate to replace the conventional self-actuating or step motor based actuator due to its intrinsic advantages. The capacitive property and high voltage (HV) driving demand of DEAP actuator make a high voltage capacitive load driving system to be necessary. The only energy source battery determines...
Flyback converters are widely used in several applications, however, with this topology it is very challenging to achieve high voltage operation especially with very high step-up ratio (>500) within limited space. This paper presents a new flyback-based topology which utilizes primary parallel and secondary series transformer connection in order to achieve very high step-up ratio (up to 650) as...
