With the increasing use of supercapacitors (SCs) in the transportation and energy sectors,
reliability which relates to the lifecycle performance and cost, becomes an important aspect …

Capacitors are widely used in dc links of power electronic converters to balance power,
suppress voltage ripple, and store short-term energy. Condition monitoring (CM) of dc-link …

Within a power converter, multiple currents are usually measured for control, protection,
and/or monitoring. They are therefore important sources of information, which must …

This article proposes a mission profile-based reliability prediction method for modular
multilevel converters (MMCs). It includes key modeling steps, such as long-term mission …

A design methodology for minimum volume of LCL filters applied to grid connected
converters is proposed. It combines the determination of filter parameter values (inductances …

Aluminum electrolytic capacitor (AEC) is one of the weakest components in power electronic
converters. As the degradation of AEC happens, its equivalent series resistance (ESR) …

The wind-photovoltaic (PV) hybrid renewable energy system (HRES), which consists of
permanent-magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) and PV arrays, is becoming a cost …

In this article, a modular current-fed high-frequency transformer isolated matrix converters
(CF-HFT-MC) based wind energy conversion system (WECS) is proposed. The CF-HFT-MC …

For the applications where a single capacitor is incapable to meet the needs, multiple
capacitors are connected in series or in parallel as a bank to fulfill the capacitance and …

The reliability of DC-link capacitors in urban rail transit is considered as a major challenge
because of significant maintenance impact. In this article, the DC-link capacitor reliability is …
