Embedded Real-Time Simulator for Sensorless Control of Modular Multi-Level Converters

This paper suggests the application of an embedded real-time simulator (eRTS) in the context of voltage–sensorless control of a modular multilevel power converter (MMC). This eRTS acts as an observer and ensures digital redundancy in the case of any…

Definition and Implementation of an EMI Figure of Merit for Switching Pattern in Power Converters

Power transistors are a source of electromagnetic interference (EMI) during switching due to the high levels of voltage/current transient. Reducing the switching duration can reduce the EMI generation but increases the switching power losses. For…

A New Control Scheme for a Single Phase Modular Multilevel Converter Connected to the Grid Under Unbalanced Arm Power Conditions

Single phase modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are usually controlled by using two DC voltage sources in order to avoid unbalanced power conditions between the upper and lower arms. This paper proposes a method for controlling the single phase…

Simulateurs de conduite et adéquation architecture / modèles : impact sur le « mal du simulateur »

“Simulator sickness,” which is to some extent similar to motion sickness, is particularly problematic. Understanding the causes of simulator sickness and identifying ways to reduce its occurrence are important issues insofar as, on the one hand, the…

Non-contact fruit ripening monitoring using a radiofrequency passive resonator

A high sensitivity radiofrequency (RF) passive resonator is used to investigate the feasibility of fruit ripening assessment by non-contact sensing of fruit dielectric property changes. To do so, kiwifruit samples of similar size and ripeness are…
