Our new Open Access paper in IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics is out! Power electronic systems are evolving towards increasingly complex converter topologies to further improve performance, efficiency, and power quality. This not only changes the requirements for the semiconductor devices

BLE Beacons are everywhere. They power indoor navigation, asset tracking, retail marketing, and countless IoT applications. But there is a fundamental problem: these tiny devices broadcast their data openly, with no encryption and no way to verify who is listening. Anyone nearby can intercept

Modern islanded DC microgrids offer significant advantages in terms of efficiency, cost, and resilience. However, ensuring grid stability under all operating conditions remains a major challenge.

 Impedance-based stability analysis is a powerful tool to address this problem. It can help

In the course of the ECS4DRES project THK conducts research on how to coordinate multiple controllable loads in low-voltage distribution grids in UC1.

Each of those controllable loads might come with specific requirements. A typical approach is to

A new publication from our ECS4DRES consortium has just appeared in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics:

“Mitigation of Active Power Oscillation in Multi-VSG Grids: An Impedance-Based Perspective”

As grid-forming converters move from single devices to systems of

Hydrogen is often stored in its liquid form at cryogenic temperatures (≈ −253 °C). This ultra-cold environment can be leveraged to cool power electronics in stationary fuel cell systems or hydrogen-powered aviation, while also drastically reducing conduction losses.

In the ECS4DRES project, we are developing solutions for demand response. This is relevant because, in the future energy system, it will be increasingly important to consume energy when it is produced instead of producing energy when we need it, as we still largely do

The kick-off meeting took place at Infineon Technologies AG, Neubiberg, very close to the contractual project start date on July 2 and July 3 2024.
