To improve their performance, reduce their size, and increase production efficiency, this paper proposes a multiple staked direct bonded copper(DBC) unit based power module packaging method to parallel more chips. This method utilizes mutual inductance cancellation effect to reduce parasitic inductance. Because the conduction area in the new package is doubled, the overall area of power module can be reduced. Entire power module is divided into smaller units to enhance manufacture yield, and improve design freedom. This paper provides a detailed design, analysis and fabrication procedure for the proposed package structure. Additionally, this paper offers several feasible solutions for the connection between power terminals and DBC untis. With the structure, 18dies were paralleled for each phase-leg in a econodual size power module. Both simulation and double pulse test results demonstrate that, compared to conventional layouts, the proposed package method has 74.8% smaller parasitic inductance and 34.9% lower footprint.展开更多

In this perspective, through optimal computational fluid dynamics models and experiments, the relationship between power consumption, volumetric mass transfer rate(kLa) and initial bubble size(d0) was constructed to establish an efficient operation mode for the aeration process of non-Newtonian fluids. It was found that reducing the d0could significantly increase the oxygen mass transfer rate, resulting in an obvious decrease in the ventilation volume and impeller speed. When d0was regulated within 2-5 mm,an optimal kLa could be achieved, and 21% of power consumption could be saved, compared to the case of bubbles with a diameter of 10 mm.展开更多

文摘Precise forecasting of solar power is crucial for the development of sustainable energy systems.Contemporary forecasting approaches often fail to adequately consider the crucial role of weather factors in photovoltaic(PV)power generation and encounter issues such as gradient explosion or disappearance when dealing with extensive time-series data.To overcome these challenges,this research presents a cutting-edge,multi-stage forecasting method called D-Informer.This method skillfully merges the differential transformation algorithm with the Informer model,leveraging a detailed array of meteorological variables and historical PV power generation records.The D-Informer model exhibits remarkable superiority over competing models across multiple performance metrics,achieving on average a 67.64%reduction in mean squared error(MSE),a 49.58%decrease in mean absolute error(MAE),and a 43.43%reduction in root mean square error(RMSE).Moreover,it attained an R2 value as high as 0.9917 during the winter season,highlighting its precision and dependability.This significant advancement can be primarily attributed to the incorporation of a multi-head self-attention mechanism,which greatly enhances the model’s ability to identify complex interactions among diverse input variables,and the inclusion of weather variables,enriching the model’s input data and strengthening its predictive accuracy in time series analysis.Additionally,the experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
文摘Wireless power transfer(WPT)has been a popular topic in power integrated circuit(IC)designs in the past decade.As slogan"cutting the last wire"presented in ISSCC’15[1],WPT is poised to take over many wired power deliveries applica-tions today,just like what happened to wireless communica-tion nowadays.Over the years,WPT has become more mature and more wirelessly charged or powered products have become available on the market.This mini review intends to summarize recent breakthroughs in WPT inte-grated circuits(IC)research.
文摘In recent years,artificial intelligence(AI)has been widely used in the field of electricity,such as load prediction,fault diagnosis of the power equipment,intelligent scheduling of power grids.However,the application of latest AI technology still has many technical difficulties to be solved.In the process of upgrading from the traditional power system to the new-type power system,AC grids,DC grids and micro grids coexist.In addition,there are huge amount of power equipment and electronic devices,and the coupling relationship is very complicated.Moreover,the high proportion of clean energy and flexible loads connected to the grid leads to the enhancement of the stochastic characteristics of the system.And short-term and ultra-short-term forecasts are much more difficult.Therefore,the editorial office of Global Energy Interconnection has planned the special issue of“Artificial Intelligence Applied in New-Type Power System”.
