Partial Power Energy Processing – A New Toolbox for Efficient DC Microgrids:
Abstract: In recent years, interest in the partial and differential power processing approaches has increased among both academic and industrial researchers. This technology was demonstrated in a broad range of applications, including but not limited to photovoltaic (PV) systems, both string and PV module levels, battery energy storage systems, dc data centers, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, etc. However, despite the rising number of publications and availability of several review papers, the literature stays ignorant of many practical issues in the application of this technology. Therefore, this lecture provides a critical overview of the existing solutions, compares them regarding practical applications, and discusses critical issues like protection and controllability. The lecture provides practical examples of benefits of partial power processing use in dc microgrids. Considering their wide applicability, the partial power converters could be considered a new toolbox for implementing dc microgrids with ultimate power processing efficiency.

CEFIPRA Lecture Series:
Description: Ferromagnetic materials are used in a wide range of applications such as sensors, actuators, motors or transformers. Their main property of interest is their capability to reach high magnetization levels when subjected to an external magnetic field of relatively low intensity. The mechanical state strongly influences the magnetic response of ferromagnetic materials and must therefore be accounted for when designing electromagnetic devices. In this presentation, a model describing the effect of time-varying magneto-mechanical loadings on magnetic behaviour will be introduced. The model combines a vector play model and an anhysteretic multiscale approach. It is applied to a polycrystalline low-carbon steel (DC04). Modelling parameters are identified from uniaxial measurements only and the model is further validated under complex uniaxial magneto-elastic loading conditions, different from those used for parameter identification. These include simultaneous variations of magnetic field and stress. The proposed approach is the first multiaxial magneto-elastic hysteresis model able to describe the response of a magnetic material to simultaneously varying magnetic field and stress and validated under such loading conditions.
