Mitigation of Common Mode Voltage Issues in Electric Vehicle Drive Systems by Means of an Alternative AC-Decoupling Power Converter Topology
(MDPI, 2019-08-30)
Electric vehicles (EV) are gaining popularity due to current environmental concerns. The electric drive, which is constituted by a power converter and an electric machine, is one of the main elements of the EV. Such machines ...
Photovoltaic Energy Harvesting System Adapted for Different Environmental Operation Conditions: Analysis, Modeling, Simulation and Selection of Devices
(MDPI, 2019-04-01)
The present research work proposes a photovoltaic energy harvester and an appropriate direct current (DC)/DC converter for a harvesting system after the study of the devices and taking the operation conditions. Parameters ...
New monitoring method to characterize individual modules in large photovoltaic systems
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Photovoltaic (PV) systems power losses are approximately 15-20% of the performance ratio for current PV systems. There are several reasons that explain PV modules failures, and since they are connected in series to the ...
A new voltage probe with improved performance at the 10 kHz–500 kHz frequency range for field measurements in LV networks
(Elsevier, 2019-06-05)
[EN] Voltage measurements in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 500 kHz are used to quantify the level of the Narrow Band Power Line Communication transmitted signals, the noise and the non-intentional conducted emissions ...
ECG-based pulse detection during cardiac arrest using random forest classifier
(Springer, 2019)
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in the industrialized world. Pulse detection is essential for the recognition of the arrest and the recognition of return of spontaneous circulation during therapy, ...
