An easy way to get accurate SPICE models even without precise information from the data sheet
This paper describes a new way to create a behavioral model for power MOSFETs with highly nonlinear parasitic capacitances like those based on superjunction (SJ) principles. The process ranges from a simple measurement to the final model for SPICE …

IoT devices become more and more popular which implies a growing interest in easily maintainable and battery-independent power sources, as wires and batteries are unpractical in application scenarios where billions of devices get deployed. To keep …
The proportion of grid-connected power electronic equipment is already large enough to influence the dynamic characteristics of the modern power system. Ensuring the stability of grid-connected power electronic equipment in all relevant situations …

Komponenten im elektrischen Antriebsstrang von Kraftfahrzeugen müssen strenge Normen bezüglich der abgestrahlten Magnetfeldemissionen erfüllen. Hochvoltkabel spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Verteilung von beabsichtigten funktionalen und …
This paper proposes an approach to employ frequency multiplication techniques like edge-combining and third harmonic extraction in ultra-low-power integrated transmitter design. The overall power demand of the transmitter is reduced by keeping …

LED lighting uses typically switched mode power supply (SMPS) techniques to generate the appropriate LED voltage and current out of high mains voltages. A variety of SMPS controllers is available on the market for this application. Most of these cont…
In order to replace the lightning impulse test, a very sensitive PD-measurement is required for onsite tests of GIS (CIGRE Joint Working Group 33/23.12 in Electra No 176, 1998). The most sensitive UHF-PD-measurement technique consists of low-noise hi…
The distribution system operator TIWAG-Netz AG operates a 220 kV grid in the alpine region of Tirol. Due to the age of the conductors, the fittings and the pylons (approximately 50 years), the question has arisen as to whether, for parts of…

In February and March 2008 cyclone “Emma” crossed some countries of central Europe and caused severe damages. In very local areas thunderstorms with downbursts were embedded in “Emma” and led to collapses of overhead lines.Downbursts are downward win…

Dielectric response analysis is an advanced technique, providing information about the insulation condition of the measured test object. It is typically used for power transformers, where the water content in the solid cellulosic insulation can be as…
Due to the high magnetic conductivity of transformer cores, very small direct currents in the electric power grid are sufficient to cause half-cycle saturation of the core. Even minor DC-bias leads to a considerable increase of the noise level and to…

The generation of white light by Light Emitting Diodes (LED) is presented. Unlike thermal emitters (e.g. incandescent bulbs) or UV excited fluorescent light-sources (e.g. compact fluorescent bulbs), the emission is in the visible range only, allowing…
A short overview on thermal management solutions for LED systems is presented. Heat transfer modes of these systems are described, from junction to ambient, giving an estimate on the contribution of each process involved, focusing on the key paramete…
