One of the key components of the photovoltaic (PV) system is inverters due to their function
as being an operative interface between PV and the utility grid or residential application. In …

The energy paradigm is making the modern power grid more difficult to study, design, and
control. Precisely speaking, the pace of the new energy paradigm involves the high …

Arc faults have always been a concern for electrical systems, as they can cause fires,
personnel shock hazard, and system failure. Existing commercialized techniques that rely on …

Designing microinverters without transformers enhances system efficiency and power
density and reduces cost. However, the transformer removal results in loss of galvanic …

Human population is projected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050 and strike 11.2 billion by 2100.
Residence shift from countryside to cities will occur and the human population resides in the …

A microconverter serves as a front-end dc-dc stage of a microinverter to convert the power
from a photovoltaic module to a dc bus. These front-end microconverters require isolation …

The electric grid modernization effort relies on the extensive deployment of microgrid (MG)
systems. MGs integrate renewable resources and energy storage systems, allowing to …

This paper proposes a dual-input LLC resonant converter that interfaces with two
photovoltaic (PV) panels. The topology is a dual half-bridge LLC circuit with four active …

This paper presents a novel soft-switching galvanically isolated buck-boost dc-dc converter
as a module-integrated converter for photovoltaic (PV) applications. It features three major …

The effect of partial shading in photovoltaic (PV) panels is one of the biggest problems
regarding power losses in PV systems. When the irradiance pattern throughout a PV panel …
