Silicon Carbide n-IGBTs: Structure Optimization for Ruggedness Enhancement (2024)
Journal Article
Almpanis, I., Antoniou, M., Evans, P., Empringham, L., Gammon, P., Undrea, F., …Lophitis, N. (2024). Silicon Carbide n-IGBTs: Structure Optimization for Ruggedness Enhancement. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 60(3), 4251-4263. https://doi.org/10.1109/tia.2024.3354870

In recent years, silicon carbide (SiC) based devices are increasingly replacing their silicon counterparts in power conversion applications due to their performance superiority. SiC insulated-gate bipolar transistors are particularly interesting as t... Read More about Silicon Carbide n-IGBTs: Structure Optimization for Ruggedness Enhancement.

10kV+ Rated SiC n-IGBTs: Novel Collector-Side Design Approach Breaking the Trade-Off between dV/dt and Device Efficiency (2023)
Journal Article
Almpanis, I., Evans, P., Antoniou, M., Gammon, P., Empringham, L., Undrea, F., …Lophitis, N. (2023). 10kV+ Rated SiC n-IGBTs: Novel Collector-Side Design Approach Breaking the Trade-Off between dV/dt and Device Efficiency. Key Engineering Materials, 946, 125-133. https://doi.org/10.4028/p-21h5lt

10kV+ rated 4H- Silicon Carbide (SiC) Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) have the potential to become the devices of choice in future Medium Voltage (MV) and High Voltage (HV) power converters. However, one significant performance concern of... Read More about 10kV+ Rated SiC n-IGBTs: Novel Collector-Side Design Approach Breaking the Trade-Off between dV/dt and Device Efficiency.

Socio-Economic Benefits in Community Energy Structures (2022)
Journal Article
Kiamba, L., Rodrigues, L., Marsh, J., Naghiyev, E., Sumner, M., Empringham, L., …Gillott, M. (2022). Socio-Economic Benefits in Community Energy Structures. Sustainability, 14(3), Article 1890. https://doi.org/10.3390/su14031890

In this paper, the authors examine how a community energy group in the Meadows area of Nottingham in the UK adopted a model of local energy generation and storage as a means of combatting climate change, improving energy efficiency, enhancing energy...
