Piezoelectric actuators are widely used in several applications and are becoming increasingly attractive in aircraft and industrial contexts, mainly when efficient and economical energy conversion is required. One of these applications is the Avionic Piezoelectric Deicing System. Since piezoelectric actuators exhibit a distinct capacitive behavior in almost all frequencies, designing their driving...Show More
This paper presents a study and comparison in terms of magnetic circuit sizing for two magnetic coupling topologies for interleaved multilevel inverters: the cyclic cascade and the secondary loop. This comparison includes modeling of both topologies and simulation analysis of the sizing of each of them. The interleaved multilevel inverter is then simulated with the sized magnetic components for th...Show More
Boost converters based on GaN components are known to generate high levels of electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in common mode (CM) and / or in differential mode (DM). In this article, it is shown how a part of the CM current comes from the DM source and how to significantly reduce this effect. Solution is based on "balancing" the propagation paths between the positive line and the return line w...Show More
This paper presents the use of a deterministic optimization strategy in order to compare three candidate topologies for inverters used in a 10kW aircraft application. Analytical derivable models are presented for computing the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) on the AC side, considering the saturation of the inductors, and leakage effects for the couplers. Since the number of interleaved or coupled...Show More
This work shows the experimental performances of a PWM inverter designed with a fast design automation tool. The chosen optimization method uses a deterministic algorithm with continuous equations. Analytical models are used to design active and passive components under loss, harmonic, thermal and efficiency constraints. Precise calorimetric test benches are used to measure the losses, and an orig...Show More
The impact of realistic cases of manufacturing dissymmetry on the distribution of the leg currents is presented for magnetically coupled interleaved inverters. The study of the parametric variations of the passive elements constituting the equivalent electrical circuit is carried out with an open loop control strategy. This parametric variation is made in two stages. The first deals with simple ca...Show More
In the first part, this papers proposes a “black box” model for the EMC modelling of a power converter in the case of an asymmetrical topology due to the conversion structure or because of imperfections of the components. The modelling approach relies on external observations and the two-port network theory. Because of the imbalance of the converter, the common to differential mode conversion (and...Show More
In power electronic applications, due to switching components, the inverter dc-bus generates current pulses at low frequencies and high frequencies (HFs). Usually, a dc-bus capacitor is sized to absorb the current peaks at the switching frequency and to stabilize the dc voltage. For decoupling the HF harmonics, an additional capacitor is required. This decoupling capacitor needs to have a low impe...Show More
This paper presents an Electromagnetic Interferences (EMI) modeling of a DC-AC power converter, based on a black box representation: the converter is represented by an association of sources and impedances that reflect its external EMI behavior. This modeling approach presented in this paper requires a very short computation time, which allows an optimized design of an EMC filter or an interaction...Show More
The common mode (CM) signal appears equally on both lines of a 2-wire cable not connected to ground. It is expressed mathematically as the average of the two signal voltages with respect to ground. In this paper, two different methods to inject CM signals are presented. The first meets with the mathematical expression of CM whereas the second follow the setup of a bulk current injection (BCI) test...Show More
The use of a fixed forward power as obtained during the calibration phase in a bulk current injection test, without monitoring the current, may cause damage on the equipment under test (EUT) with low impedances. In this paper, an accurate EUT model has been designed based on impedance investigation. This model can be used to predict the conducted susceptibility of a generic EUT. The model is first...Show More
With fast power semiconductor devices based on GaN and SiC becoming more common, there is a need for improved driving circuits. Transformers with smaller inter-winding capacitance in the isolated gate drive power supply helps in reducing the conducted EMI emission from the power converter to auxiliary sources. This paper presents a transformer with a small volume, a low power loss and a small inte...Show More
