    • Når blir skipsfarten grønn? 

      Hoff, Bjarte; Østrem, Trond (Kronikk; Chronicle, 2018-04-25)
      n av utfordringene i forbindelse med dagens skipsfart er utslipp til luft, hovedsakelig karbondioksid og nitrogenoksider. Disse utslippene er knyttet til oljefyrte forbrenningsmotorer som dominerer dagens skipsflåte. Det er overveiende sannsynlig at det er en direkte sammenheng mellom global oppvarming og utslipp av klimagasser. Utslipp til luft kan også bidra til sur nedbør og svevestøv, for å nevne ...

    • A Novel Technique to Mitigate the Overlap-Time Effect in Current Source Inverters 

      Sohail, Umer; Østrem, Trond; Hoff, Bjarte (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-31)
      Generally, the current source inverter is considered more reliable than the voltage source inverter due to the presence of inductor as an energy storage element on the DC link, but a disruption in the inductor current could significantly risk its reliability. To guarantee the reliable operation of current source inverter, an overlap time must be added to the gate signals of its switches. This ensures ...
