Modular nine-level single-phase inverter with quadruple voltage gain using reduced blocking voltage switches by V. Fernão Pires, Armando Cordeiro, Daniel Foito, Joaquim Monteiro, Hao Chen, J. Fernando Silva

“…The suggested solution includes a transformerless, single-phase, nine-level voltage source inverter that cuts down on the number of passive parts that are needed while still achieving a high-voltage gain of up to four times the input DC voltage sources. An essential feature of this topology is that all the switches are subjected to a maximum blocking voltage four times lower than the maximum AC voltage that can be applied to the load. …”

Optimizing fast charging protocols for lithium-ion batteries using reinforcement learning: Balancing speed, efficiency, and longevity by Khairy Sayed, Mahmoud Aref, Mishari Metab Almalki, Mahmoud A. Mossa

“…The findings show that quicker charging profiles speed up deterioration, raise temperature, and hasten the drop of SoH even though they shorten charging times. Slower profiles, on the other hand, improve long-term battery health and efficiency by controlling temperature and minimizing deterioration, even though they require longer charging times.The RL-based approach balances quick charging with battery preservation by implementing a reward system that penalizes dangerous conditions like high voltage or temperature in order to lessen these trade-offs. …”
