Teaching courses on and doing research in the application of distributed generation in general and microgrids in particular requires a flexible experimentation environment. The core hereof is a versatile 4-wire power electronics inverter allowing to implement grid-connected front-ends of small generators and different types of loads as well as power conditioning devices in the same lab environment. The philosophy behind the rapid-prototyping inverter is explained and examples from teaching as well as research practice are given.

Power Source Electronic Ballast for Electrodeless Fluorescent Lamps

et al. 2019

This paper presents the design, control strategy and experimental results of a two-step, power factor correction stage (PFC) and resonant inverter (RI), electronic ballast proposal to supply 150 W electrodeless fluorescent lamps (EFL). The PFC acts as a controlled power source and provides mid and long-term stability to the system, while the stability of the current through the lamp is achieved with the RI. In addition, the power-mode control requires limitation of the output voltage. The dual operation mode of the PFC (voltage source mode and power source mode) enables an efficient soft resonant ignition and the implementation of simple dimming regulation.
