A Z-source series circuit breaker topology, which allows bidirectional power flow and has the
ability to autonomously disconnect dc faults, is introduced. This topology allows current flow …

The next-generation electric ships will feature a medium-voltage dc architecture for
distribution of electric power. For higher reliability and flexibility, this dc microgrid is divided …

This paper deals with circuit breakers (CBs) used in direct current microgrids (DCMGs) for
protection against electrical faults, focusing on their evolution and future challenges in low …

Microgrids can be broadly classified into AC and DC microgrids. There are some
advantages of DC microgrid over AC microgrid, such as ease of control, fewer power …

This chapter presents a brief discussion of solid-state dc circuit breakers followed by a
description of the Z-source circuit breaker. The primary distinction of this breaker is that it …

The Z-Source circuit breaker is a type of DC power electronic circuit breaker, which is able to
autonomously isolate faults. It uses a circuit of passive components to autonomously …

Low Voltage DC Microgrid Systems have attracted lot of attention in recent years due to its
proposed use in smaller microgrids mostly based on renewable energy sources like PV …

This thesis investigates protection of medium voltage direct current (MVDC) battery energy
storage systems and primary control of AC shipboard microgrids, both for shipboard …
