Among the most valuable types of renewable energy available today is wind energy. The
reliability of WF systems must be regularly evaluated at every stage of their “life,” from design …

Featured Application The reliability of many engineering systems (such as offshore and
subsea equipment, aerospace equipment, energy production equipment, etc.) is very …

In this paper, a switched-capacitor multilevel inverter with voltage boosting and common-
mode-voltage reduction capabilities is put forth. The proposed inverter is synthesized with …

Employing interleaved techniques in dc-dc converters provide fault-tolerant capability to the
faulted switches of the converter. In the case of one-phase failure, the other phases can …

This paper presents a methodology based on the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to
analyze the failures in the power stage of wind-fuel cell hybrid energy systems. Besides …

The two main research goals of this study are to develop a relationship diagram between the
parameters of reliability and maintainability and to investigate the impact of reliability and …

In many industrial applications, parallel connection of power semiconductor switches is
