This paper presents an investigation on modulation modes for dual active bridge modules stacked in a 10-kV input parallel output series converter for energy extraction in dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAP) wave energy converters. The converter requirements for energy harvesting with DEAPs are derived, and the operating areas and limitations of each modulation mode are compared. A hybrid modulation...
Smart materials used as generators have received considerable attention lately and several prototypes were built to demonstrate the process. The focus of this paper is to show how the dielectric elastomers can be used as variable capacitor generator, how the maximum energy gain can be withdrawn from the system by realizing an innovative current waveform to charge and discharge the polymer. The paper...
Dielectric Elastomers are well known for there performance as actuators, but these materials can be used effectively as generators. Research on this field have received considerable attention lately, several prototypes were built like wavepower and human kinetic power generators. The focus of this paper is how the dielectric elastomer can be used as generator. The paper presents a dynamic model to...
