Two solid-state bipolar Marx modulators are analyzed and compared regarding hold-off semiconductor voltages and open-fault tolerance capability. Normal and abnormal operating conditions are considered, such as switch synchronization mismatches, failures, and open faults. Ten-stage laboratory prototypes of two bipolar Marx modulators have been assembled using 1200-V insulated gate bipolar transistors...
The interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter is a core component of the battery energy storage system. However, if an open-switch fault occurs at the interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converters, the currents of two branches will become unbalanced, which will increase the battery current ripple and shorten the life of batteries and energy storage systems. In this paper, a fault tolerant topology is...
Main goal of this paper is to investigate the fault-tolerant operation of an Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) rectifier. Fault detection and faulty switch identification methods are indicated in case of open-circuit and short-circuit failures. From this knowledge, a reconfiguration scheme can be provided allowing for the system to continue operating without need of a non-programmed stop. Different...
Paralleling power converters is a common practice in industries to enhance total power rating, reliability, and availability of the system. In case of fault occurring in systems with parallel converters, the faulty power converter can be isolated and the system can still be operated at reduced power level. In this paper, a grid-connected power converter consisting of two parallel H-bridge converter,...
The number of power semiconductor switches and DC sources will increase with the increase in the number of levels of output voltage of the multilevel inverter. As the number of power semiconductor switches increases, the possibility of its failure and hence the breakdown of the inverter operation also escalate in a nonlinear manner. Hence, the detection of the failure of the power semiconductor switch...
This paper presents a deterministic algorithm that identifies a back-feed restoration strategy to restore the out-of-service load due to fault isolation while ensuring that the post-restoration network has a valid configuration. The algorithm is based on the concepts of network tracing and it supports both single-path and multi-path restoration. In case the network components are too stressed and...
3D contactless technology based on capacitive coupling represents a promising solution for high-speed and low power signaling in vertically integrated chips. AC coupled interconnects do not suffer from mechanical stress, and the parasitic load is much reduced when compared to standard DC solutions, such as wire bonding and micro bumps. Communication system based on wireless interconnection scheme...
Resonant reset soft switching dual switch forward dc-dc topology is suitable for topology standardization in power electronics system integration since which can be used in high voltage, wide range input applications. To further meet the miniaturization requirement for system integration, the soft switching principle of resonant reset soft switching dual switch forward dc-dc topology was discussed,...
