  text: The LLC converter achieves the highest efficiency in resonant operation. Conventionally,
    the input DC-link voltage is controlled to operate the LLC converter at resonance
    for the given operating point. However, the DC-link capacitor voltage shows a
    low-frequency voltage ripple (typically the second harmonic of grid frequency)
    in cascaded converters so that the LLC has to adapt its switching frequency within
    the grid period. Conventionally, the LLC converter operates 50% of the time above
    the resonant frequency of 40 kHz and 50% below resonance. Both operating conditions
    cause additional losses. However, experimental measurements indicate that the
    below-resonance operation causes significantly higher losses than above-resonance
    operation due to much higher primary and secondary transformer currents. It is
    better to increase the DC-link voltage by 30% of the peak-to-peak low-frequency
    voltage ripple to mostly avoid below-resonance operation (i.e., from 650 V to
    680 V in this case). With the proposed control, the LLC converter operates about
    75% of time over resonance and only 25% of time below resonance. The overall efficiency
    increases from 97.66% to 97.7% for the average operating point with an 80% load
    current. This corresponds to a 2% total loss reduction. Finally, the peak resonance
    capacitor voltage decreases from 910 V to 790 V (−13%).

  text: Star-connected cascaded H-bridge Converters require large DC-link capacitors
    to buffer the second-order harmonic voltage ripple. First, it is analytically
    proven that the DC-link voltage ripple is proportional to the apparent converter
    power and does not depend on the power factor for nominal operation with sinusoidal
    reference arm voltages and currents. A third-harmonic zero-sequence voltage injection
    with an optimal amplitude and phase angle transforms the 2nd harmonic to a 4th
    harmonic DC-link voltage ripple. This reduces the voltage ripple by exactly 50%
    for all power factors at steady-state at balanced conditions. However, this requires
    54% additional modules for unity power factor operation and even 100% for pure
    reactive power operation to account for the increased reference arm voltages due
    to the large amplitude of the optimal third-harmonic injection. If not enough
    modules are available, an adaptive discontinuous PWM is utilized to still minimize
    the voltage ripple for the given number of modules and power factor. With a very
    limited number of modules (modulation index is 1.15), the proposed method still
    reduces the DC-link voltage ripple by 24.4% for unity power factor operation.
    It requires the same number of modules as the commonly utilized 3rd harmonic injection
    with 1/6 of the grid voltage amplitude and achieves superior results. Simulations
    of a 10 kV/1 MVA system confirm the analysis.

  text: 'Sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) have great potential in energy storage due to
    their low cost, the abundance of Na, and the potential to deliver high energy
    and power simultaneously. This paper demonstrates a template-assisted method to
    induce graphitic nanodomains and micro-mesopores into nitrogen-doped carbons.
    This study elucidates that these graphitic nanodomains are beneficial for Na+
    storage. The obtained N-doped carbon (As8Mg) electrode achieved a reversible capacity
    of 254 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1. Moreover, the As8Mg-based SIC device achieves high
    combinations of power/energy densities (52 W kg−1 at 204 Wh kg−1 and 10,456 W
    kg−1 at 51 Wh kg−1) with outstanding cycle stability (99.7% retention over 10000
    cycles at 0.2 A g−1). Our findings provide insights into optimizing carbon’s microstructure
    to boost sodium storage in the pseudo-capacitive mode. '

  text: Cascaded H-bridge Converters (CHBs) are a promising solution in converting
    power from a three-phase medium voltage of 6.6 kV...30 kV to a lower DC-voltage
    in the range of 100 V...1 kV to provide pure DC power to applications such as
    electrolyzers for hydrogen generation, data centers with a DC power distribution
    and DC microgrids. CHBs can be interpreted as modular multilevel converters with
    an isolated DC-DC output stage per module, require a large DC-link capacitor for
    each module to handle the second harmonic voltage ripple caused by the fluctuating
    input power within a fundamental grid period. Without a zero-sequence voltage
    injection, star-connected CHBs are operated with approximately sinusoidal arm
    voltages and currents. The floating star point potential enables to utilize different
    zero-sequence voltage injection techniques such as a third-harmonic injection
    with 1/6 of the grid voltage amplitude or a Min-Max voltage injection. Both well-known
    methods have the advantage to reduce the peak arm voltage and thereby the number
    of required modules by 13.4 % (to √ 3 2). This paper proves analytically that
    the third-harmonic injection with 1/6 of the grid voltage amplitude reduces the
    second harmonic voltage ripple by only 15.1 % compared to no-voltage injection
    for unity power factor operation and balanced grid voltages. Then it is shown,
    that the Min-Max injection has the often overlooked advantage of reducing the
    second harmonic voltage ripple by even 18.8 %. By applying the here proposed zero-sequence
    voltage injection in saturation modulation, the second harmonic voltage ripple
    of the DC-link capacitors is reduced by even 24.3 %, while still requiring the
    same number of modules as the Min-Max injection. For a realistic number of reserve
    modules, the overall energy ripple in the DC-link capacitors is reduced by 40
    %.

  text: A full-bridge modular multilevel converter (MMC) is compared to a half-bridge-based
    MMC for high-current low-voltage DC-applications such as electrolysis, arc welding
    or datacenters with DC-power distribution. Usually, modular multilevel converters
    are used in high-voltage DC-applications (HVDC) in the multiple kV-range, but
    to meet the needs of a high-current demand at low output voltage levels, the modular
    converter concept requires adaptations. In the proposed concept, the MMC is used
    to step-down the three-phase medium-voltage of 10 kV. Therefore, each module is
    extended by an LLC resonant converter to adapt to the specific electrolyzers DC-voltage
    range of 142-220V and to provide galvanic isolation. The proposed MMC converter
    with full-bridge modules uses half the number of modules compared to a half-bridge-based
    MMC while reducing the voltage ripple by 78% and capacitor losses by 64% by rearranging
    the same components to ensure identical costs and volume. For additional reliability,
    a new robust algorithm for balancing conduction losses during the bypass phase
    is presented.

  text: A simple pre-stress estimate method of Langevin transducers is studied. The
    measurement setup consists of a capacitor, an impedance converter and a voltmeter.
    Based on the piezoelectric equation and the basic circuit theory, the mathematical
    expression between the pre-stress and the voltage across the capacitor is derived.
    The pre-stress level can then be calculated out of the measurement of the capacitor
    voltage. In order to evaluate the precision of this method, a force washer is
    used to measure the pre-stress of the Langevin transducer. The result shows the
    pre-stress level obtained from this method is 30-40\% higher than the pre-stress
    level measured by the force washer. This method is simple and can be used to estimate
    the pre-stress of various Langevin transducers. The precision of this method can
    be raised if d33 is identified under different pre-stress levels.
