PHEV are becoming more widespread, as they have more eco-friendly and more economical characteristics than conventional vehicles. A possible power converter is investigated to sustain the on-road operation of PHEV when one or more of the power switches is damaged. In this paper, a Scott transformer topology is presented to provide redundancy to the power switches in an Integrated Power Module (IPM). A fault-tolerant scheme is simulated to test the operation of a permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) in a PHEV.

High penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) with different dynamic responses cause interaction between components in a DC microgrid. This paper proposes a method called object-oriented modeling, which allows analyzing converter-interfaced DC microgrids in steady states and transients. The analysis mainly focuses on transient behavior of external electric values, as well as internal controller states.
