Inverters are devices typically used in solar power generation systems to convert electric current to a more useful type, but are prone to failure and are the main cause of malfunction in solar power systems. Using transformer-less (TL) inverters is a desirable alternative because of their higher efficiency, lower size, and lower cost. However, TL inverters...

Diamond is a wide bandgap material with superior electric properties that has been studied in recent years for use in high power and high frequency electronics applications. Doping of the diamond material is necessary for effective control of defect formation, and is typically achieved by incorporating the dopant (e.g., phosphorous, boron) into the...

Power converters convert electrical energy (e.g., convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and vice versa, change the voltage or frequency of current, or do some combination thereof). Transformers are key components in power converters and transfer electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit or multiple circuits....
