Partial-Power Flow Controller, Voltage Regulator, and Energy Router for Hybrid AC-DC Grids
Ehsan Asadi, Davood Keshavarzi, Alexander Koehler +2
The share of electronically converted power from renewable sources, loads, and storage is continuously growing in the low- and medium-voltage grids. These sources and loads typical…
AI-Driven Phase-Shifted Carrier Optimization for Cascaded Bridge Converters, Modular Multilevel Converters, and Reconfigurable Batteries
Amin Hashemi-Zadeh, Nima Tashakor, Sandun Hettiarachchi +1
Phase-shifted carrier pulse-width modulation (PSC-PWM) is a widely adopted scheduling algorithm in cascaded bridge converters, modular multilevel converters, and reconfigurable bat…
Enhanced Fault Ride-Through Grid Forming with Transient Synchronisation Stability and Current Saturation
Youcefa Brahim Elkhalil, Nima Tashakor, Davood Keshavarzi +2
During grid faults, grid-forming converters are typically suggested to switch from a voltage-source to a current-source mode to limit the current and protect the electronics. This…
Frequency Control in Microgrids: An Adaptive Fuzzy-Neural-Network Virtual Synchronous Generator
Waleed Breesam, Rezvan Alamian, Nima Tashakor +2
The reliance on distributed renewable energy has increased recently. As a result, power electronic-based distributed generators replaced synchronous generators which led to a chang…
Dynamic Power Management in Modular Reconfigurable Battery Systems with Energy and Power Modules
Pouyan Pourhadi, Nima Tashakor, Mahdi Bayati +1
Integrating power electronics with batteries can offer many advantages, including load sharing and balancing with parallel connectivity. However, parallel batteries with differing…
Hacking Encrypted Wireless Power: Cyber-Security of Dynamic Charging
Hui Wang, Nima Tashakor, Wei Jiang +3
Recently, energy encryption for wireless power transfer has been developed for energy safety, which is important in public places to suppress unauthorized energy extraction. Most t…
Topology, Analysis, and Modulation Strategy of a Fully Controlled Modular Battery Pack with Interconnected Output Ports
Nima Tashakor, Jan Kacetl, Davood Keshavarzi +1
Modular battery integrated converters or so called dynamically reconfigurable battery packs are expanding into emerging applications, including electromobility and grid storage. Al…
A Smart Adaptively Reconfigurable DC Battery for Higher Efficiency of Electric Vehicle Drive Trains
Zhongxi Li, Aobo Yang, Gerry Chen +4
This paper proposes a drive train topology with a dynamically reconfigurable dc battery, which breaks hard-wired batteries into smaller subunits. It can rapidly control the output…
Ageing Mitigation and Loss Control Through Ripple Management in Dynamically Reconfigurable Batteries
Tomas Kacetl, Jan Kacetl, Nima Tashakor +1
Dynamically reconfigurable batteries merge battery management with output formation in ac and dc batteries, increasing the available charge, power, and life time. However, the comb…
A Simplified Model for the Battery Ageing Potential Under Highly Rippled Load for Battery Management and Active Degradation Control
Tomas Kacetl, Jan Kacetl, Nima Tashakor +1
Whereas in typical standardized tests batteries are almost exclusively loaded with constant current or relatively slowly changing cycles, real applications involve rapid load rippl…
A Generalized Switched-Capacitor Modular Multilevel Inverter Topology for Multiphase Electrical Machines with Capacitor-Voltage Self-Balancing Capability
Farzad Iraji, Nima Tashakor, Stefan Goetz
Recent research on multilevel inverters shows exciting properties, including the potential to generate multiple output voltages and integrated voltage boosting. However, most prese…
Solid-State Inrush Current Limiter Controller Based on Inrush Prediction for Large Transformers
Nima Tashakor, Teymoor Ghanbari, Ebrahim Farjah +2
Inrush current problems of the industrial transformers are occasionally more serious than the utility transformers. A new Solid-State Inrush Current Limiter (SSICL) is proposed for…
