Discharging micro cavities and electric field enhancement due to cavities in HVDC XLPE cables
This paper presents simulation and calculation results of electric field enhancement due to various cavity shapes carried out on polymeric high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables. Two aspects are considered: partial discharges (PD) in microcavities and field enhancement factor under DC.

A 100 kW 1.2 kV 20 kHz DC-DC converter prototype based on the Dual Active Bridge topology
This article presents the design, the fabrication, and the test of an isolated DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications. The converter is based on the Dual Active Bridge topology and uses silicon carbide power semiconductors and a medium frequency transformer. The design process covers hardware ranging from the semiconductor die to the complete power converter. For the control, a rapid prototyping approach was used. The experimental validation of the 100 kW prototype is presented.
Optimal sizing of a power electronic traction transformer for railway applications

Uncertainty Quantification for the Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation of evaporating sprays
Evaporating sprays can be almost routinely simulated using an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach which relies on a RANS modeling of the continuous phase and a Lagrangian description of the discrete phase, including a turbulent dispersion model to express the effect of turbulent fluctuations within the carrier phase on the spray particles and an evaporation model for the spray droplets.

High Voltage Electrical Properties of Epoxy / h-BN Microcomposites
Two high voltage properties – DC conductivity and AC breakdown strength – of epoxy composites filled with 30 wt% of micron sized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are discussed in comparison to neat epoxy.
Theoretical and experimental analysis of the soft switching process for SiC MOSFETs based Dual Active Bridge converters
In the new electrical grids, series/parallel converters architectures can be considered for medium and high voltage power conversion. Dual Active Bridge (DAB) topology is a serious candidate to be implemented within these converters.
