Cassiano Rech received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), Brazil, in 1999, 2001, and 2005, respectively. From 2005 to 2007, he was with the Regional University of Northwestern Rio Grande do Sul, Ijuí, Brazil. From 2008 to 2009, he was with the Santa Catarina State University, Joinville, Brazil. Since 2009, he has been with the UFSM, where he is currently a Professor. Since 2014, he has been the Editor-in-Chief of the Brazilian Power Electronics Journal. His research interests include multilevel converters, renewable energy sources, distributed generation, and modeling and digital control techniques.

Abstract

This paper presents a review and a comparative analysis between mathematical models for the efficiency of power converters as function of power and input voltage variations. Both cases are particularly important for systems... [ view full abstract ]
