IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo in North America
The Department of Power Electronics was represented at the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo in North America, Phoenix-AZ, by the masterstudent Yan Figueiredo, in a partnership between the University of Kassel and the Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil. The topic of the publication was “Mathematical Analysis and Space Vector Modulation of the Three-phase Buck-Boost Rectifier with Reactive Power Capability with the contents:
- Analysis of CSC (current source converters) applied to EVs (electric vehicles);
- Mathematical analysis of the operation’s principle of the three-phase buck-boost rectifier with reactive power capabilty and space vector modulation;
- Sizing of passive elements and design of the control strategies;
- Simulations to validate the mathematical equations and the reduction in switching losses compared to scalar modulation strategies.
The next stage of this research includes creating a prototype the converter and recording the experimental results. Congratulations to Yan, and many thanks to Prof. Montiê Alves Vitorino, who supports the exchange between our Universities.
