Improving energy resource availability and resilience with the strategic placement of microgrids
(2019-12-09)
Natural disasters are increasingly impacting the power availability to communities around the world causing long term blackouts. Rural and remote communities are at a greater risk of suffering longer blackouts due to being ...
Evaluating different control schemes for improving the efficiency in low power converters used in reduced-space systems
(2016-07)
The DC/DC converters are one of the main blocks of most electronic systems, allowing communication between energy sources and the rest of the system. The DC / DC converters are widely used systems because they allow power ...
Analysis and fpga implementation of dynamical maximum power point tracking methods for photovoltaic-fuel cell hybrid systems
