This paper presents a comparative study between the commonly used switches (IGBT, MOSFET, SiC and GaN) for power inverters of electric vehicles. A 400 V, three-phase inverter system simulation test is implemented using LTspice and the conducted emissions are compared to variant CISPR standards and switching frequencies in order to show the possible...

This abstract addresses a case study of EMI analysis in an AC drive system through black-box modelling technique. The measurement setups and model parameters are presented in this abstract.

Power Line Communication (PLC) technologies are being used in many applications and offer the advantage of utilizing existing power cables for both power and data transmission, thus minimizing cost and complexity. Nevertheless, PLC technology requires further investigation to solve possible co-existence issues. Indeed, recent studies confirmed that...

Environmental degradation and hazards, water stress, population growth, and economic and social instability have become major concerns of governments and people in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean in the past few decades. In countries like Jordan and Lebanon, water supply has become insufficient for drinking, sanitation, agriculture and indus...

This paper addresses a preliminary research on numerical simulation method of an double-layer shielded and low voltage power cable for electric vehicle powertrain using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) as software tools. Simulating this detailed method through FEA for only one transmissio...

Power line communication (PLC), which is often used in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), may be disturbed by adjacent high-power converters. Due to the inherent features of this type of communication, classic methods of improving communication reliability (filtration and circuit separation) cannot be fully applied. Information coding (modulat...

Climate change has been accelerated by the exponential increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases from the population growth, industrial pollutants, poor wastewater management, and more. It has the potential to threaten the security of water, food and energy systems. At the last decades, water scarcity crisis increased, and climate change ha...

The time measurement efficiency of the partial discharge (PD) relies on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and gain of the high-frequency current transformer (HFCT) sensor. However, the PD's time measurement efficiency decreases with the noise coupled to the HFCT in onsite measurements. To overcome that setback, this paper proposes one pre-processing,...

This paper presents a hybrid active filter (HPF) for harmonic compensation of a three-phase controlled converter harmonics. The hybrid filter consists of three-phase single-tuned passive filter for eliminating the dominant 5th harmonic frequency connected in series with a modular multilevel converter (MMC) based active power filter (APF). The propo...

Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) provides promising features for medium/high voltage applications. In this paper, Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) with MMC is coupled to Medium Voltage (MV) non-linear load. The SAPF is controlled using instantaneous real and reactive power (p-q) theory to compensate the oscillating power and consequently the supp...
