A low capacitance single-phase AC-DC converter with inherent power ripple decoupling (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Gottardo, D., De Lillo, L., Empringham, L., & Costabeber, A. (2016). A low capacitance single-phase AC-DC converter with inherent power ripple decoupling.

This paper proposes a new single-phase AC-DC conversion topology with inherent power ripple decoupling, based on the combination of a PWM H-bridge inverter, an AC side LC filter and a ZVS line commutated H-bridge. A capacitor on the AC side is used a... Read More about A low capacitance single-phase AC-DC converter with inherent power ripple decoupling.

Experimental comparison of devices thermal cycling in direct matrix converters (DMC) and Indirect Matrix Converters (IMC) using SiC MOSFETs (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Trentin, A., Zanchetta, P., Empringham, L., De Lillo, L., Wheeler, P., & Clare, J. C. (2016). Experimental comparison of devices thermal cycling in direct matrix converters (DMC) and Indirect Matrix Converters (IMC) using SiC MOSFETs.

This paper presents an experimental comparison between a Direct Matrix Converter and an Indirect Matrix Converter in terms of semiconductor devices thermal cycling. Both converters have been designed and built using SiC MOSFETs; the Indirect Matrix C...
