This paper proposes a novel three-part hybrid rotor design for a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). The hybrid rotor can be designed to achieve key desired parameters and obtain extended speed operation by combining simple PM and reluctance rotor designs. An additional degree of freedom in the proposed three-part hybrid rotor is the flexibility to align the magnetizing axis of the reluctance...
This paper presents an analytical model of air gapped inductor considering the nonlinear magnetic behavior of the core along with temperature variation. First, a nonlinear magnetic behavior is represented by a mathematical function, which contains three coefficients and defines magnetic flux density (B) as a function of magnetic field strength (H). Using Matlab curve fitting toolbox, these coefficients...
Grid-connected inverters (GCIs) are power electronics interfaces to connect distributed energy resources into the grid. In order to improve the performance of distributed energy resources as well as maintain the high power quality of the grid, it is important to understand the characteristic of GCIs with appropriate controllers depending on its applications. This paper presents a study on the effect...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate high-speed machine design enabled through the use of silicon-carbide based power electronic inverters. Silicon carbide based switching devices have superior properties compared to silicon based devices, and they are able to change the paradigm for high-speed machine design. High-speed machines with a higher number of poles are shown to reduce the machine...
The number of distributed energy resources are increasing in modern power systems. Vehicle-to-grid power transfer is envisioned to become another type of distributed energy resource and support energy needs of the grid under various circumstances. This paper investigates the stability and power quality of a parallel grid-connected inverter system for vehicle-to-grid application using modeling and...

This research attempts to find a new closed-form solution of toroid and overlapping windings for axial flux permanent magnet machines. The proposed solution includes analytical derivations for winding lengths, resistances, and inductances as functions of fundamental airgap flux density and inner-to-outer diameter ratio. Furthermore, phase back-EMFs, phase terminal voltages, and efficiencies are calculated...
Silicon carbide (SiC) based devices are known to outperform Si devices in many aspects, such as lower power dissipation, higher operating temperatures, and higher switching frequencies. SiC devices will benefit hybrid vehicles when applied into the DC-DC converters and inverters as part of the electrical power conversion needed to drive the powertrain. Nevertheless, SiC devices can suffer from oscillations...
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of interconnection inductances to overvoltage during turn-off transient of silicon carbide (SiC) devices. To understand the switching behavior of the SiC devices, the ringing and overshoots of the voltage caused by the device capacitance and interconnection inductances are considered. Parametric studies are conducted to compare the influences of printed...
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the pulsating torque in squirrel cage induction machines by studying the stator slot and rotor bar dimensions. To mitigate the pulsating torque produced by the non-sinusoidal spatial distribution of magnetomotive force (MMF) and permeance in the air-gap, design options are evaluated at various stator and rotor slot dimensions and operating conditions. Analytical...
