  @inproceedings{10509061, abstract = {High switching frequencies in combination with zero voltage switching allow to increase the power density while reducing the costs of power electronic converters. However, the design of such systems is complex due to the complex hardware design and the small-time constants in the modulators and control system resulting from the high switching frequencies. To still benefit from the advantages of high switching frequencies and zero voltage switching, in a wide range of applications, it is desirable to have a general-purpose power electronics building block which provides these hardware related functions in an encapsulated module via an easy-to-use interface. Such a power electronics building block that can operate at high switching frequencies and realizes zero voltage switching over the entire operating range is presented. This is achieved by a novel distributed realization of a triangular current mode modulator and the introduction of switch modules. Besides the basic ideas of the switch modules and the distributed triangular current mode modulator, as well as two possible realization variants, the application of the power electronics building block is demonstrated on the example of a non-isolated DC/DC converter with superimposed closed loop voltage control.}, author = {Haarer, Jörg and Koppenhöfer, Luis and Marx, Philipp and Ziegler, Philipp and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, booktitle = {2024 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC)}, editor = {APEC}, issn = {2470-6647}, language = {en}, month = {02}, pages = {2156-2163}, title = {Power Electronics Building Block with Distributed TCM Modulator}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10509061}, year = 2024 }

  @inproceedings{10213749, abstract = {The changing potential during switching transitions of power electronic devices causes common mode noise. Besides passive filters, there are space saving approaches, which actively reduce the common mode noise. One approach is to synchronize opposing switching transitions of power electronic devices with similar parasitic impedances. The synchronized opposing switching transitions generate opposing common mode noises, which reduce each other by superposition. This principle is often used in topologies with parallel structures. In most cases, two structures are operated invers, in which the control signals of both structures are strictly dependent from each other. Integrated Modular Motor Drives offer parallel topologies enabling the synchronization of opposing switching transitions. This paper presents a switching scheme to synchronize switching transitions with increased degree of freedom compared to an invers operation.

  @article{ziegler2023signal, abstract = {Hybrid current sensors are suitable for wide bandwidth current measurement. They entail the fusion of two different measurement circuits, one for DC and low-frequency current and another for high-frequency current. Thus, the advantages of the different measurement principles are incorporated in one current sensor. Hybrid current sensors generate output signals through a superposition of the signals from the low-frequency and high-frequency current sensors. This is realized using analog signal processing by means of an analog operational amplifier circuit. Realization of the superposition of the frequency responses of the different measurement circuits to achieve a constant gain in the transition area is challenging. This study focused on the analog signal processing and its enhancement. Specifically, two possible signal processing approaches to increase the bandwidth based on the state-of-the-art realization of a low-pass filter were devised. These approaches were investigated using a simulation model. Frequency response measurements using a hybrid current sensor based on tunneling magnetoresistance sensors and a Rogowski coil were used for verification. The results show that by enhancing the signal processing, the bandwidth of the current sensors can be significantly increased.}, author = {Ziegler, Philipp and Bura, Michael and Haarer, Jörg and Marx, Philipp and Hirning, David and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, journal = {2023, IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications}, number = {Issue 4}, pages = {635-642}, title = {Signal Processing Design for Wide Bandwidth Hybrid Current Sensor based on Enhanced Analog Operational Amplifier Circuit}, url = {https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ieejjia/12/4/12_22007463/_article}, volume = {Volume 12 Pages }, year = 2023 }

In this work, an evaluation of such a low-cost current shunt is performed. The influences and constraints that limit the bandwidth are investigated. The design of a compensation network and the resulting bandwidth improvement are examined. Based on the theoretical discussion, a compact current shunt is designed, that allows a simple integration into the commutation path while adding a low insertion inductance.

  @inproceedings{10199076, abstract = {In the era of electric vehicles, the reliability of power electronics has become a crucial part as the industry evolves. Changes in electrical parameters caused by aging and degradation can lead to performance deterioration and eventually the total failure (end-of-life) of power electronic components, whereas the lifetime of power transistors depends to a large extent on the temperature fluctuations. Therefore, it is desired to extend the lifetime by minimizing the temperature swings without affecting the vehicle dynamics. In this paper, we propose the LETSCOPE (Lifecycle Extensions through Software-Defined Predictive Control of Power Electronics) framework for the lifetime extension with a neural-network-based intelligent management system. The driving behavior in the near future is estimated based on information fusion, which enables the predictive optimization of the temperature fluctuations. Besides, to perform real-time on-board management, an integrated SoC with hardware accelerator is developed for an efficient execution under resource constraints. Proof-of-concept experiments on a benchmark route show that the LETSCOPE framework can improve the expected lifetime of power electronics by up to 87% without vehicle dynamics degradation. Moreover, the monitoring of critical parameters provides an early warning of total failure, which contributes to the overall system reliability.}, author = {Chu, Anqi and Hermann, Chris Manuel and Silz, Johannes and Pfau, Johannes and Barón, Kevin Muñoz and Anantharajaiah, Nidhi and Schmidt, Patrick and Hotfilter, Tim and Xie, Xiang and Becker, Jürgen and Kallfass, Ingmar and Roth-Stielow, Jörg and Stork, Wilhelm}, booktitle = {IEEE EUROCON 2023 - 20th International Conference on Smart Technologies}, editor = {IEEE}, month = {07}, pages = {665-670}, title = {LETSCOPE: Lifecycle Extensions Through Software-Defined Predictive Control of Power Electronics}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10199076}, year = 2023 }

Among them, due to the introduction of electric motors, the aging and degradation of power electronics in EVs have a direct influence on the overall system safety and may lead to total failure. Therefore, extending the lifetime of power electronics has been a focus in the last decades, where reducing the temperature swings is the key to achieving the goal. However, temperature optimization usually requires future information on power loads, which is not available in classic approaches. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a baseline framework for lifetime-oriented temperature control with reinforcement learning (RL). Focusing on long-term prediction, the framework integrates various physical modelings of EV modules (sensors, actuators, vehicle dynamics and temperature management) and utilizes real-time route information to train an agent for driving behavior prediction. Based on further interaction with the EV model, future temperature development can be estimated in advance, thus enabling better swing optimization. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach and the lifetime of power electronics can be extended by up to 63% on a representative test route.

  @article{10223415, abstract = {Magnetic field-based current sensors are widely used due to their galvanically insulated measurement principle. A well-proven concept is based on the discrete realization of Ampèere's law using a circular array of magnetic field sensors. Depending on the linear operating range of the magnetic field sensors, the radius of the circular array has to be chosen, leading to large dimensions for high current values. This paper presents a novel approach to build a compact wide bandwidth current sensor based on the combination of tilted tunnel-magnetoresistance sensors and a Rogowski coil. The used tunnel-magnetoresistance sensors are characterized and show an increased linear range in the current sensor application if they are tilted. In addition, the sensor sensitivity is varied with the tilt angle. A novel current sensor concept based on tilting in combination with repositioning the magnetic field sensors is presented. This concept offers the opportunity to reduce the size of state-of-the-art current sensors based on magnetic field sensors significantly. The proposed concept is verified in a current sensor prototype. The DC current linearity, the dynamic behavior as well as the signal-to-noise ratio is characterized. Ideas how this concept can be used and further developed are presented.}, author = {Ziegler, Philipp and Zhao, Yiru and Haarer, Jörg and Ruthardt, Johannes and Fischer, Manuel and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, issn = {1939-9367}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications}, pages = {1-10}, title = {Compact Design of a Wide Bandwidth High Current Sensor Using Tilted Magnetic Field Sensors}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10223415}, year = 2023 }

They combine two different measurement circuits, one for DC and low-frequency current measurement and another for high frequency current measurement. This combines the advantages of different measurement principles in one current sensor. The output signal of the hybrid current sensor is generated through a superposition of the low-frequency and high-frequency current sensor. This is realized using analog signal processing by means of an analog operational amplifier circuit. The challenge is to superpose the frequency responses of the different measurement circuits achieving a constant gain in the transition area. This paper focuses on the analog signal processing and its optimization. Based on a state-of-the-art realization, two possible optimization approaches of the signal processing are presented to increase the bandwidth.

Herkömmlich werden hierfür EMV-Filter eingesetzt, welche jedoch in ihrer Größe und ihres Gewichts steigen. Deshalb wird versucht, diese herkömmlichen EMV-Filter zu vermeiden. Eine Möglichkeit dabei ist der Einsatz von aktiven EMV-Filtern. Hierbei werden dem Störsignal entgegengesetzte Signale erzeugt und so aufgeschaltet, dass sie das Störsignal vermindern [1– 3]. Eine weitere Möglichkeit die Störsignale zu vermindern ist die Synchronisation entgegengesetzter Schaltflanken [4–10]. Hierbei werden jeweils eine steigende und fallende Schaltflanke miteinander synchronisiert, sodass sich die erzeugten Gleichtaktstörungen gegenseitig kompensieren. Entscheidend für die Kompensation sind gleich große Schaltgeschwindigkeiten, ein symmetrischer Ausbreitungsweg der Störungen und möglichst gleichzeitig auftretende Schaltzeitpunkte. Durch Laufzeitunterschiede im Gatepfad, wie beispielsweise die des Gatetreibers, treten die Schaltzeitpunkte zweier Transistoren trotz gleichzeitigem Schaltbefehl aus dem Ansteuersystem nicht gleichzeitig auf. Diese Unterschiede sollen im Regelsystem dieses Beitrages automatisch kompensiert werden und die Schaltbefehle so aufbereitet werden, dass die Schaltzeitpunkte gleichzeitig auftreten. Für ein Regelsystem sind im allgemeinen folgende Komponenten nötig. Zunächst muss eine Größe erfasst werden, welche den Zustand des Systems beschreibt. Mit dieser Größe muss es möglich sein, eine ausreichend große Abhängigkeit der Störungen vom Schaltzeitpunkt zu messen. Anhand dieser Messgröße kann ein Regelalgorithmus den optimalen Schaltzeitpunkt, welcher über ein geeignetes Stellglied einstellbar sein muss, bestimmen. [11] beschreibt ein solches Regelsystem, welches die Schaltflanken aufeinander abstimmt. Dieser Beitrag unterscheidet sich jedoch deutlich in der Erfassung und Bewertung des Systemzustandes. Weiterhin wird in [11] eine Einstellung des Schaltzeitpunktes in deutlich gröberen Zeitschritten vorgestellt. Die Schrittweite der einzelnen Schaltzeitpunkte ist in [11] durch die Modulation bedingt im Bereich mehrerer Nanosekunden.

  @inproceedings{9595039, abstract = {Magnetic field-based current sensors are widely used due to their galvanically isolated measurement principle. A well-proved concept is based on the discrete realization of the Ampère´s law using a circular array of magnetic field sensors. Depending on the linear operating range of the magnetic field sensors the radius of the circular array has to be chosen, leading to large dimensions for high current values. This paper presents a novel approach to build a compact wide bandwidth current sensor based on the combination of tilted tunnel-magnetoresistance sensors and a Rogowski coil. The used tunnel-magnetoresistance sensors are characterized and show an increased linear range in the a current sensor application if they are tilted. In addition, the sensor sensitivity is varied with the tilt angel. A novel current sensor concept based on tilting in combination with repositioning the magnetic field sensors is presented. This concept offers the opportunity to reduce the size of state-of-the-art current sensors based on magnetic field sensors significantly.

The implementation of a differential transmission based on a 10Mbps asynchronous protocol and a bus system ensures a robust and performant relaying of the measurement data. Measurement results show that the proposed setup is capable of updating a supervisory system of new parameter values efficiently within one PWM cycle to allow an online adjustment and intervention in case of abnormalities.

These temperature swings lead to mechanical strain in the different material layers of the IGBT-power-modules and limit the numbers of cycles to failure and therefore reduce the lifetime of the IGBTs. This paper presents a temperature control system which is paralleled to the standard torque control system. It aims to reduce the magnitude of temperature swings of the semiconductor devices of IGBT modules caused by load changes of an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine. The principle method is, to increase the temperature of the semiconductor devices of the IGBT-modules by creating higher power losses during low load conditions of the machine without affecting torque and speed. This reduces the magnitude of the load induced temperature swings of the semiconductor devices of IGBT-modules and increases its lifetime at the cost of increased power losses. Three variables have been identified that influence the power losses in inverter modules without necessarily affecting the output power of the permanent synchronous machine. These variables are switching frequency of the inverter, length of the clamping area when a discontinuous modulation is applied and the reactive component of the inverter current. The influence of each variable which regards to the losses in the IGBT-power-modules is explained and the related control methodology is described.

The novelty of the proposed method lies in the concept of variable temperature sensitivity where the robustness decreases with the increase in the sensitivity. This concept proposes a trade-off between temperature sensitivity and robustness. A D flip-flop is used to make the acquisition circuit more robust to prevent false triggering while keeping fast switching speed and low noise susceptibility.

However, low voltage GaN transistors have been on the market much longer and offer several advantages. The flying-capacitor multilevel converter topology enables these advantages and therefore makes system designs with highest power density and low volume possible. These characteristics are key-factors for penetration of products with wide bandgap materials into industrial electronics markets. This work presents a 9-level flying capacitor DC-AC inverter. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) greatly reduces switching losses, thereby enables high frequency operation of the inverter and consequently enhances efficiency. The implemented hardware is designed for an output power of 200Watt and the prototype is built on a modular platform around an FPGA based control system. The modulation scheme and control system allow for extremely high effective switching frequencies and very fast response. Experimental results demonstrate a peak efficiency above 99.0% and an effective switching frequency of up to 4MHz.}, author = {Nitzsche, M. and Haarer, J. and Ketchedjian, V. and Roth-Stielow, J.}, booktitle = {IECON 2020 The 46th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society}, doi = {10.1109/IECON43393.2020.9254392}, issn = {2577-1647}, month = {10}, pages = {2424-2429}, title = {Design of a 9-Level Flying Capacitor Inverter with Very Fast Response of the Controller}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9254392}, year = 2020 }

Also bearing currents, excited by common-mode noise, can influence the reliability of the connected machine. To reduce these bearing currents and the inverter's electromagnetic compatibility an output filter can be used. Especially with wide band-gap semiconductors the reduced switching losses offer output filters with low volume. Furthermore, this filter offers several degrees of freedom to optimize the losses of the whole inverter system. Possible filter designs are investigated and compared with each other. A design methodology to find loss optimized filter configurations is presented. By modeling the whole inverter and filter system the losses of the system are calculated for every filter configuration iteratively at a desired operating point. These loss models consider soft switching behavior as well as high frequency losses of the passives to take also configurations with high filter choke current ripple into account.}, address = {Genova, Italy}, author = {Zehelein, Matthias and Fischer, Manuel and Nitzsche, Maximilian and Roth-Stielow, Jörg}, booktitle = {2019 21st European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (EPE '19 ECCE Europe)}, doi = {10.23919/EPE.2019.8914968}, eventdate = {9/3/2019 - 9/5/2019}, language = {English}, month = {09}, pages = {P.1-P.10}, title = {Influence of the Filter Design on Wide-Bandgap Voltage Source Inverters with Sine Wave Filter for Electrical Drives}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8914968/}, year = 2019 }

The focus lies on recent scenarios which require partial load operation of electrolyzers. The layout-dependent current outputs of three conventional and a self-developed rectifier were simulated based on actual measurement data. After the down-scaling of the acquired current profiles, these were applied to a lab-scale alkaline electrolyzer. The rectifier structures are assessed for dynamic operation between 25% and 100% of their nominal load. Experimental results show a strong influence of the rectified current quality on the required electrical energy of the electrolysis process. Conventional thyristor structures with a high current ripple consume up to 13% more energy compared to the newly designed process current source, which provides an almost perfectly smoothed direct current. Additionally, high current ripples, which occur especially in low load scenarios, cause oxygen to diffuse to the hydrogen half cell and reduce the product gas purity. Therefore, not every rectifier is suited for dynamic operation of electrolysis systems.}, author = {Speckmann, Friedrich-W. and Bintz, Steffen and Birke, Kai Peter}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.05.014}, issn = {0306-2619}, journal = {Applied Energy}, pages = {855 - 863}, title = {Influence of rectifiers on the energy demand and gas quality of alkaline electrolysis systems in dynamic operation}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.05.014}, volume = 250, year = 2019 }

  @inproceedings{8241180, abstract = {In this paper the measurement results that represent the back electromotive force (EMF) of a small drive permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) are proposed. The focus is on the comparison between three mechanical configurations: the original one and a setup with static and dynamic eccentricity. Additionally, the influence of compensating currents is considered due to the circuitry of the windings belonging to one phase. This leads to quite similar gradients of back EMF in all three mechanical configurations. The PMSM consists of an external rotor, has a pole pair number of 4 and a mechanical output power of 240 W. Each electric phase consists of four windings. Two of them are serial connected and both serial connections are parallel connected. If the partial back EMF at one winding is not equal to the back EMF at windings of the same phase, compensating currents will occur and will counteract the partial back EMF. This happens especially in case of static and dynamic eccentricity. In these cases the air gap length as well as the partial back EMF depend besides on the position also on the angle between the rotor and the stator of the machine. To analyse the back EMF at several operating points, a machine test bench is set up. In order to measure the partial back EMF, the machine is equipped with additional stator windings. Furthermore, the parallel connections of the windings are disconnected and the pins are led through the machine's package. On the one hand, it is possible to leave the connection open-circuited to avoid compensating currents. On the other hand, the connection can be restored using an amperemeter, which enables a measurement of the intensity of the compensating currents at different operating points. Due to mechanical modifications on the machine it is possible to analyse the specific influence of static and dynamic eccentricity.}, author = {Fischer, M. and Roth-Stielow, J.}, booktitle = {Innovative Small Drives and Micro-Motor Systems; 11th GMM/ETG-Symposium}, month = {09}, pages = {1-6}, title = {Analysis of the Influence of Static and Dynamic Eccentricity on Back EMF of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor}, year = 2017 }

For high switching frequencies and steep current slopes the requirement for the dynamic of the current probe is high. This means the current probe needs a wide bandwidth from DC up to several megahertz. This is achieved by the combination of two current measurement principles, Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors and a Rogowski coil.}, author = {Tröster, N. and Dominković, B. and Wölfle, J. and Fischer, M. and Roth-Stielow, J.}, booktitle = {2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)}, doi = {10.1109/PEDS.2017.8289128}, month = {12}, pages = {35-40}, title = {Wide bandwidth current probe for power electronics using tunneling magnetoresistance sensors}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1109/PEDS.2017.8289128}, year = 2017 }
