With ever increasing concerns on energy efficiency, energy diversification, and environmental protection, the development of electric vehicle (EV) technology has taken on an accelerated pace. The dream of having commercially viable EVs is becoming a reality. This paper identifies the uniqueness of EV drives, and hence provides an overview on the development of power electronic drives for EVs. R...

This paper is concerned with improving the efficiency of analog to digital converters (ADCs). the fast advancement of CMOS fabrication technology, more and more signalprocessing functions are implemented for a lower cost, lower power consumption, and higher yield. The design of analog-to-digital converters is one of the most critical and challenging aspects in the development of new and more po...

The era of electronic devices in all loads due to the manufacturing technologies replaced many conventional electrical or mechanical loads including lighting loads where Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is becoming an emerging technique with many advantages. High frequency switching dc-dc converter is a new technology to control the load and the supply side simultaneously. Due to additional harmoni...

Ocean energy systems (OESs) convert the kinetic, potential, and thermal from oceans seas to electricity. These are broadly classified into tidal, wave, thermal, current marine systems. If fully utilized, OESs can supply planet with required electricity demand as they capable of generating approximately 2 TW energy. The wave converter (WEC) capture kinetic potential in waves using suitable mecha...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their low emissions, energy efficiency, and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. One of the most critical components in an EV is storage management system, which requires compactness, lightweight, high superior build quality. Active cell equalization circuits such as those used battery systems (BMS) have been developed balance voltag...

Electronic power converters connected to electrical grids allow industrial processes, traction applications and home appliances to be improved by controlling the energy flow depending on the operation conditions of both the electrical load and the grid. This is the case of variable frequency drives, which can be found in pump drives or ship propulsion systems (Bose, 2009) maintaining the electr...

This paper presents the different power converters for grid integration of wind power systems. In wind power systems while integrating with grid, power quality issues are becoming more predominant. This can solve by using power electronics converters like two level back to back converter and matrix converters. Converters are compared on the basis of efficiencies, voltage conversion ratios and T...
