Derating is widely applied to electronic components and products to ensure or extend their operational life for the targeted application. However, there are currently no derating guidelines for Li-ion batteries. This paper presents derating methodolo...
Power generation units based on the bio-syngas system face two main challenges due to (i) the possible temporary shortage of primary sources and (ii) the engine power derating associated with the use of low-energy density fuels in combustion engines....
Paralleling of power semiconductor devices is inevitable considering their widespread application and exploitation in the extended horizon of these applications. However, paralleling of power semiconductor devices is prone to severe unbalancing corre...
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from 2008 levels by at least 40% by 2030, prompting the widespread adoption of slow steaming and engine de-rating strategies. This study investigates the f...
Accurate flux linkage magnetic models are essential for virtual-flux controllers in PMSMs. Flux linkage exhibits saturation and cross-saturation at high currents, introducing nonlinearities into the machine model. Virtual-flux controllers regulate th...
In the literature, there are many different photovoltaic (PV) component sizing methodologies, including the PV/inverter power sizing ratio, recommendations, and third-party field tests. This study presents the state-of-the-art for gathering pertinent...
The increase in small satellites demands the integration of commercial components to reduce costs and development time. However, the lack of standardized system-level methodologies to mitigate radiation-induced degradation limits their adoption. Alth...
Aerospace power systems, including satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO), face stringent thermal constraints to minimize size, weight, and power (SWaP). Gallium nitride (GaN) devices offer superior radiation hardness...
As the size of wind turbines increases and their hub heights become higher, which partially explains the vertiginous increase of wind power worldwide in the last decade, the interaction of wind turbines with the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and b...
This study presents an integrated methodology to assess and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in institutional buildings by combining organizational carbon footprint (CFO) analysis with rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system simulation. The HM Building...
Accurately forecasting the operating temperature of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is essential for preventing thermal runaway, extending service life, and ensuring the safe operation of electric vehicles and stationary energy-storage systems. This wor...
The deployment of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on entry-level Edge FPGAs is severely constrained by the scarcity of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) blocks, a phenomenon termed the “DSP Wall”. To circumvent this bottleneck, this pa...
The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and the recast TEN-T guidelines have reset the deployment trajectory for high-power recharging on the trans-European transport network. For the five Balkan EU-member states—Bulgaria, Croati...
