The specific problems of the disconnection of HVDC breakers need an analysis of performances at laboratory scale. In the study of hybrid circuit breakers with commutation, three steps are necessary: modeling, simulation and experimental tests. The paper presents a modeling procedure for a hybrid commutation breaker intended to operate using resonant circuits phenomenon. Using the Matlab platform,...
Medium frequency transformers are an essential part of new energy conversion systems, and are very often subject to non-sinusoidal excitation. Therefore, usual methods to represent magnetic materials behavior inside transformers with electrical equivalent scheme are very limited in this case. This paper focuses on the development of a new model based on the loss separation method. This model is implemented...
The article addresses specific issues of the automated heating systems for non-residential buildings, which aim to ensure thermal comfort with low energy consumption. The specialized automatic system maintains constant the indoor temperature when the heat input in building equals the heat loss through the building envelope. The specialized automatic system consists of several subsystems. The model...

This paper illustrates the modelling and simulation (M&S) based engineering approach developed in the framework of ITEA2 project MODRIO to the case of a Backup Power Supply. This system integrates physical and human aspects with computer-based controls, and is therefore a so-called socio-cyber-physical systems (SCPS). This system is relatively simple in terms of physics but is a realistic example...
Due to the larger scale of power systems and larger number of converters involved, the simulation of power systems becomes slower, with lower accuracy. FPGA is the new generation computation hardware, which is an integrated circuit designed for a special function. However, FPGA simulation still requires the parallel technology to extend the simulation scale. Network tearing interfaces can be used...
Oscillations in power electronic circuits with fast switching semiconductors are commonly known and the corresponding parasitic elements have been investigated in multiple literature.

Based on this description an optimization...
Inhomogeneous current sharing between parallel IGBTs can compromise the capability of power modules to withstand short circuit events. Especially if the gate voltages are influenced by coupling effects, single IGBTs will carry excessive currents. This paper analyzes the effects of different parameters on the maximum short circuit current of a 1.7kV power module composed of three parallel half bridge...
Electrified guided vehicles are normally equipped with regenerative braking devices, while traction lines are supplied by non-reversible substation, thus allowing braking energy recovery only if nearby other vehicles are absorbing power. To enhance the effectiveness of regenerative braking, some energy storage can be installed along the line. Evaluation of its cost effectiveness requires time domain...
