This paper focuses on the design and construction of an electric drive system for an electric boat. A number of technical interventions were made to convert a simple boat to an electrically driven boat. In our days the electric boats and the electric propulsion in general constitute a part of the electric transportation. The electric transportation seems to be an alternative solution in the continuously...
In power electronics efficiency improvement is constantly being sought out through venues such as improved topologies or improved devices. Series loaded resonant (SLR) DC-DC converter is a type of soft-switching topology widely known for providing improved efficiency. This paper investigates the efficiency and transient performance of SLR when a new type of diode called Super Barrier RectifierTM is...
The field of power electronics poses challenging control problems that cannot be treated in a complete manner using traditional modeling and controller design approaches for the reason that power devices are typical hybrid systems in nature. The power devices become more and more complex for the tendency to be interconnected and large scale. It is very important to detect symptom in the early of large...
Commercial-off-the-shelf electronic components (COTS) offer a very low cost and attractive solution for construction of electronic systems for Mars missions, including the actuator electronic systems for the Mars Rovers. One issue with using COTS lies in the difference between their specified operating temperature range (-55/spl deg/C to125/spl deg/C for military components) and the temperatures observed...
An investigation of the robust stability of a pulse-width modulated buck DC-DC converter is carried out, considering the uncertainty in the components used for the converter circuit. An alternative method which is less conservative than the Kharitonov Theorem (1978) approach is used to find robust stability bounds and to show that the compensated system of the device remains stable when the capacitor...
