Fully Soft-Switched High Step-Up Nonisolated Three-Port DC-DC Converter Using GaN HEMTs

Marco Mattavelli, Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Georgios Kampitsis

In this article, a soft-switched nonisolated high step-up multi-input dc-dc converter is proposed. The proposed converter has overcome the hard switching problem of the conventional boost three port converter (boost-TPC) by providing zero-voltage-switching ...

The Upper Bound of the Speed of Propagation of Waves along a Transmission Line

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

According to theory, once certain conditions are fulfilled, current and voltage pulses propagate along ideal transmission lines with the speed of light. One can reach such a conclusion only when the conductors are assumed to be perfectly conducting, which ...
