Title: A T-type Trapezoidal AC-DC Converter for Offshore Wind Turbine
Wind2DC Grant Number: EP/X035867/1
Brief Description: The project focuses on the development of highly efficient medium-voltage wind turbine power converters for offshore wind turbines. There are still gigawatts of offshore wind resources that have not been commercialized or deployed at a large scale yet. Offshore floating wind would unlock those resources. This project discusses the development of novel Medium Voltage machines, AC-DC interface converters and DC-DC converters to meet the unique and challenging conditions presented by floating wind.
3. Nov 2021 -- Aug'23, Project Conducted as a Postdoctoral Research Associate
Post-doc Supervisor: Prof. Jung-Wook Park, Fellow, IEEE, Professor
Affiliation: Yonsei University, South Korea
Title: Novel 2kW Bidirectional DC-DC Converter for an Electric Aircraft (EA)
Grant: National Research Foundation (NRF), Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), South Korea, under
Grant 2020R1A3B2079407 and Grant RS-2023-00218377
Brief Description: The project presents a DC-DC non-isolated bidirectional converter with a high step-up/step-down voltage conversion ratio and reduced voltage and current stresses on semiconductor devices, as well as reduced ripples in inductor currents, input current, and output voltage, and in particular, to a novel transformer-less high energy efficiency bidirectional converter for auxiliary batteries in electric vehicles.
