Luca Corradini

About

Luca Corradini was born in Padova, Italy, in 1978. He received the Laurea degree in electronic engineering and the PhD degree in industrial electronics from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2004 and 2008, respectively. From 2008 to 2011, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the Colorado Power Electronics Center (CoPEC) at CU Boulder. Since 2011, he has been an assistant professor at the University of Padova, and since 2017, he has held the position of associate professor at the same university. Corradini’s main research field is power electronics, with a focus on digital control and modeling of switched-mode power converters, efficient modulation strategies for bidirectional converters, and power management solutions for energy harvesting systems.

• Steady-State Indeterminacy in Lossless Switched-Mode Power Converters

  IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics · 2022 · 19 citations

  1st authorCorresponding

  In this article, it is shown for the first time that lossless switched-mode power converters may not possess a unique steady-state solution. Rather, they can exhibit an inherent <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">indeterminacy</i> in their steady-state behavior, and a unique solution is only found when losses are included in the analysis. Even more interestingly, it is shown that lossless converters of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w…

• GaN-Based Isolated Resonant Converter as a Backup Power Supply in Automotive Subnets

  IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics · 2023-02-16 · 8 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  This paper presents the analysis, design and implementation of a 2 MHz, 12 V, 600 mA, GaN-based Active-Clamped Isolated SEPIC Converter (ACISC) supporting full Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) throughout the 9 V-18 V automotive range, and intended to provide isolation and power interface between the 12 V battery and the low-power subnet. Designed for resonant Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) operation and leveraging the high switching frequency enabled by Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices, the select…

• Decentralized Interleaving of Series-Stacked DC-DC Converters via Extremum-Seeking Control

  2025-03-16 · 2 citations

  article

  This paper introduces a fully decentralized solution for achieving optimal interleaving of series-stacked power converters based on distributed, module-level extremum-seeking controllers. This approach ensures switching-cycle-level synchronization, effectively minimizing switching ripple and significantly reducing the size of passive filters. The proposed control system is model-free, straightforward to design and implement, and offers continuous synchronization to mitigate clock drifts while al…

• Mixed-Signal Sliding Mode Controller for Non-Inverting Buck-Boost Photovoltaic DC Optimizers

  2025-03-16 · 2 citations

  articleSenior author

  Photovoltaic (PV) dc optimizers require input voltage regulation over a wide range to maximize power extracted from PV panels. As such, seamless reference tracking and robust stability are required under all operating conditions. This work introduces a mixed-signal sliding mode controller for non-inverting Buck-Boost (NIBB) dc optimizers to address these challenges. The controller, implemented around a low-cost DSP platform, achieves seamless reference tracking in pass-through mode–where the inp…

• Submodule-Level Decentralized Control for Cascaded Quadruple Active Bridge-Based Medium-Voltage Converters

  2026-03-22

  article

  High-power, low-voltage DC (LVDC) loads, such as AI data centers, electric vehicle fast-charging hubs, and hydrogen electrolyzers, are accelerating the deployment of solid-state transformers (SSTs) that directly interface medium-voltage AC (MVAC) to LVDC, streamlining power delivery. This paper proposes a submodule-level decentralized control strategy for an SST comprising a cascaded H-bridge (CHB) active rectifier on the MVAC side and per-module quadruple-active-bridge (QAB) converters on the L…
