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,...
High-gain organic transistors are the key building blocks for the development of high-performance organic electronics, including high-sensitivity sensors, signal amplification in sensing systems and large-scale circuits. In this work, we analyze organic transistors based on the diffusion-driven charge-accumulation architecture. This class of organic field-effect transistors maximizes at the same the...
The article describes a feedback Preisach hysteresis model equivalent circuit implementation of a medium frequency single-phase transformer being a part of a high power and high efficiency DC-DC converter. The macroscopic models of magnetic hysteresis are introduced and the feedback Preisach model is selected for further analysis. The hysteresis model is developed for a prototype transformer and the...
This work considers the coupling effects between differential and common modes, which have an impact on the conducted electromagnetic noise generated by variable speed drive supplied from DC grid of an aircraft. Common mode noise, which origins from the differential mode, was observed during conducted EMI measurements at the output shielded cable, due to asymmetry of the cable. It is shown, that such...
The increasing complexity of power grids makes hardware-in-the-loop simulations of electrical power systems more and more interesting for the industry. The simulation models are typically large. They often have to be split and used on several hardware platforms to allow efficient computations. Finding an appropriate position for splitting the simulation model requires expert knowledge about the electrical...
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...
Rotational single sheet testers allow a characterization of soft magnetic materials under rotating magnetization as occurring in electrical machines. Due to the nonlinear behavior of the materials, suitable control algorithms have to be developed. In this work, a simulation model based on finite element simulations is derived, which is able to emulate the nonlinear behavior of the magnetic circuit...
Power amplifier (PA) behaviour modelling is a crucial technique for the improvement of telecommunication systems because it constitutes the core of a linearisation circuit that allows for the amplifier to develop high efficiencies at the same time that it delivers a linear output signal to the load. Polynomial filters can be used in order to represent both the non-linearities of the PA and the memory...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is announced to swamp the world. In order to understand the emergent behaviour of connected things, effective support for the modelling of connection and failure probabilities, execution and waiting times, as well as resource consumptions of various kinds is needed. At the heart of IoT are flexible and adaptive communication and interaction patterns between things, meant...
This paper describes a methodology to build a combined conducted and radiated emission model for integrated circuits. The development of emission models of a FPGA extracted from two different approaches is presented and discussed. The first approach allows to build a predictable model from FPGA implementation and some passive measurement on FPGA device. The second approach allows to build a model...
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...
The power electronic based Grid Side Converter (GSC) is the key technology for interconnecting RES. In order to obtain accurate simulation results, it is important to have a detailed-realistic modelling of GSCs. This requires a very small solver step (i.e., solver period near 1 μs) due to the high-frequency switching operation of these converters. Such a small solver period imposes computational constraints,...

Computer simulations and experiments in lab model are performed by which the model is...
Elastic circuit design is a revolutionary step in VLSI design paving the way for commercial adoption of asynchronous design techniques. With a growing trend of synchronous-asynchronous CAD tool flow integration, this paradigm shows promise to survive market forces of the semiconductor industry mainly due to scope for reuse of synchronous functional blocks and IP cores, and co-existence of synchronous...
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...
This paper proposes a new coefficient identification procedure to stabilize rational function predistorters. Rational functions are inherently capable of superior nonlinear modelling and extrapolative prediction, which make them ideal candidates for power amplifier (PA) predistortion. However their susceptibility to model divergence can lead to instability and linearization failure. In this paper,...
This paper presents a methodology for modelling of multichip Silicon Carbide (SiC) power modules where multi-domain effects (electrical, thermal, and electromagnetic) in the power module can be accurately observed with minimal computational cost. Commercially available numerical analysis software are capable of showing these effects but there is currently no commercially available software package...
