Applying the optimization methods to design for products as optimization problems is increasingly spreading. Since these methods can make design processes more efficient, we should also use them when designing power electronic converters. Design processes for power electronics converters are roughly classified into electrical circuit parameters, geometric properties of parts, and alignment ...

Renewable energy is an important low-carbon energy source that can contribute to energy security. A surplus electricity purchase system was started in 2009 to promote the spread of renewable energy. Since then, the purchase price has fallen, while the electricity price has risen. Therefore, the power storage system is attracting attention from the viewpoint of self-consumption in which photovoltaic power generation electricity ...

Recently, high-speed switching circuits using GaN GIT have attracted attention for higher power density. In particular, GaN GIT devices have an ultrafast speed capability but tend to cause false turn-ons due to a lower threshold voltage. A simple RC-type gate drive method is usually used to prevent the false turn-on phenomenon....
