Bidirectional inverter with improved light load efficiency for integration in a hybrid AC/DC distribution system in buildings
Alshammari, Meshari (NUI Galway, 2023-03-28)Increasingly more research is being done on DC distribution systems with the aim of increasing system efficiency for power delivery between DC power sources, loads, and energy storage equipment as compared to AC ... -
Computational modelling of the coupled electro-mechanical behaviour of neurons
Cinelli, Ilaria (NUI Galway, 2019-01-22)Recent experimental evidence has uncovered complex biophysical phenomena accompanying the electrical activity of nervous cells. Now emerging theories refer to the electric pulse, i.e. the Action Potential (AP), as an ... -
Enhancing the situational awareness of the active distribution network
Khan, Maman Ahmad (NUI Galway, 2022-06-21)Power distribution system operation has become increasingly complex with the large-scale integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). This has led to a paradigm shift in the operation and planning of the power ... -
Impact of DC-DC converter topologies on passive components miniaturization
Kandeel, Youssef (NUI Galway, 2022-08-30)Power electronic circuits are a key player in many essential electrical systems and applications, e.g., power converters. For computational and battery-powered consumer products, the desire for higher power densities and ... -
