This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power ...
Abstract: The traditional approaches in material research and hardware design are insufficient to address the evolving operation and maintenance (O&M) demands in contemporary power electronics.
Abstract: The main factor that drives the aging of power semiconductor modules is the thermally induced stress caused by the maximum temperature and temperature swings. This thermally induced stress ...
Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...
