...J.W. van der Merwe; H. du T. Mouton; S. Thielemans Purpose The flying capacitor converter (FFC) balances the clamping capacitor voltages naturally when phase shifted carrier modulation is used. Several models that describe this mechanism, and to estimate the time constants following a perturbation...

...J.W. van der Merwe; H. du T. Mouton Purpose The flying capacitor converter (FFC) balances the clamping capacitor voltages naturally when phase shifted carrier modulation is used. Several models that describe this mechanism are discussed in the literature. However, due to the model complexity...

...Xose M. Lopez‐Fernandez; Thomas Vyncke; Steven Thielemans; Michiel Jacxsens; Jan Melkebeek Purpose Flying‐capacitor multilevel converters (FCC) need a passive or active regulation of the capacitor voltages. Recently the trend is towards active control, often implemented separately from the current...

...Oszkar Biro; David A. Lowther; Piergiorgio Alotto; Weijie Wan; David A. Lowther Purpose To present a general synthesis method in the design of variable comb drive MEMS capacitors which can provide specified capacitance versus position profiles while give large tuning range. Design/methodology...

...Raffaele Martone; Alessandro Formisano; Jörg Ostrowski; Ralf Hiptmair; Henning Fuhrmann Purpose This paper seeks to deal with the computation of time‐harmonic electric potentials, currents, and surface charge distributions inside self‐healing metallized film capacitors in three dimensions. A 50 Hz...
