“…Figure 1 depicts the essential configuration of a power electronic converter platform, typically comprising two separate conversion stages known as the "Power" and "Control" stages [2]. In the "Power stage", the converter receives the input electrical signal, which may be in the form of alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) depending on the application [3,4]. Components like diodes, switches, and filters are often integrated into the input stage for conditioning and regulating the input power [5].…”

In this research paper, a comprehensive performance analysis was carried out for a 48-watt transformerless DC-DC boost converter using a Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controller through dynamic modeling. In a boost converter, the optimal design of the magnetic element plays an important role in efficient energy transfer. This research paper emphasizes the design of an inductor using the Area Product Technique (APT) to analyze factors such as area product, window area, number of turns, and wire size. Observations were made by examining its response to changes in load current, supply voltage, and load resistance at frequency levels of 100 and 500 kHz. Moreover, this paper extended its investigation by analyzing the failure rates and reliability of active and passive components in a 48-watt boost converter, providing valuable insights about failure behavior and reliability. Frequency domain analysis was conducted to assess the controller’s stability and robustness. The results conclusively underscore the benefits of incorporating the designed PID controller in terms of achieving the desired regulation and rapid response to disturbances at 100 and 500 kHz. The findings emphasize the outstanding reliability of the inductor, evident from the significantly low failure rates in comparison to other circuit components. Conversely, the research also reveals the inherent vulnerability of the switching device (MOSFET), characterized by a higher failure rate and lower reliability. The MATLAB® Simulink platform was utilized to investigate the results.

“…Power converters with outstanding power-density factors can be developed with the development of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor switching devices, where size, weight, efficiency, and power density are optimized [ 1 , 2 ]. Due to their superior performance over those using Si MOSFETs or IGBTs, WBG converters are especially suitable for applications such as transportation, aerospace, and grid-connected technologies [ 3 , 4 ]. Specifically, these WBG semiconductor devices offer optimal performance in power-conversion applications due to their superior electrical properties.…”

Precise current sensing is essential for several power electronics’ protection, control, and reliability mechanisms. Even so, WBG power converters will likely struggle to develop a single current-sensing scheme to measure various types of currents due to the limited space and size of these devices, the required high sensing speed, and the high electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions they cause. Analysis of existing current sensors was conducted in such terms with the objective of understanding the challenges associated with their integration into WBG power converters. Since each of these requirements has different design tradeoffs, it is challenging to consider one specific method of current sensing to be perfect for all situations; thus, the possibility of developing novel methods to improve the performance of these single-scheme current sensors is further explored.

In conclusion, the analysis and measurement of thermal properties are crucial for a wide range of applications in science, technology, and industry. For energy efficiency optimisation, the design of sophisticated materials, and the creation of cutting-edge technologies, it is essential to comprehend how heat is transmitted and handled within materials. Researchers can precisely evaluate thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and other thermal parameters using a variety of experimental methodologies, including both conventional and cutting-edge technologies. This enables accurate material characterisation and performance evaluation. The landscape of thermal management and energy conversion has been significantly shaped by nanostructured materials. Their distinct nanoscale characteristics provide chances to modify thermal behaviour, boost effectiveness, and add new features. Researchers are able to manage heat conduction, phonon behaviour, and charge transport through the use of designed nanostructures, which has led to breakthroughs in a variety of industries, including electronics, energy storage, thermoelectric devices, and more. In addition to promoting energy efficiency and waste heat recovery, these developments pave the path for sustainable solutions to the world’s rising energy needs and environmental problems. We are on the verge of ground-breaking discoveries that have the potential to restructure industries, enhance energy sustainability, and pave the way for a more effective and linked society as we continue to investigate and harness the complex behaviour of heat within materials.
