AC-DC conversion is required in many applications, and some of them isolation strictly required, certainly while maintaining characteristics such as a high power factor low input current THD. In this paper, an converter, comprising full-bridge diode rectifier dual-active-bridge (DAB) utilized to fulfill these characteristics. The used modulation makes the converter behave resistive load, output...

the renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (pevs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. this paper presents modelling and control of a building integrated fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicles (bifc-pev) in smart distribution systems. in bifc-pev system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

With the progress of power electronic devices in electric railway, harmonics in power systems become increasingly of concern. This paper presents a case study on harmonics in a traction power supply system. The study was based on measurements realized in an electrical drive station using a data acquisition system and a computer. It was analyzed the main power quality indicators: the power facto...

Electrification of the transportation sector has originated a worldwide demand towards green-based refueling infrastructure modernization. Global researches and efforts have been pondered to promote optimal Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. The EV power electronic systems can be classified into three main divisions: station configuration (e.g., Level 1 (i.e., slow-speed charger), 2 fast-...

We analyze investments in gas fired power plants under stochastic electricity and gas prices. A simple but realistic two-factor model is used for price processes, enabling analysis of the value of operating flexibility, the opportunity to abandon the capital equipment, as well as finding thresholds for energy prices for which it is optimal to enter into the investment. Our case study, using rea...
