This paper proposes a semi-flooded cooling concept for a high speed machine design. The electrical machine considered is for an aircraft starter-generator system where power density and efficiency are crucial. In order to achieve the high power density permanent magnet machine, a direct oil cooling strategy for the machine stator is adopted. A stator oil sleeve is designed to separate the machine...
Design of switched reluctance motor (SRM) with emphases on torque ripple suppression and current reduction is researched in this paper. The motor is operated with direct torque control (DTC) to obtain a good torque control performance. Since motor design and motor control are two important aspects of the motor drive system, to achieve a better performance of the whole system, they should not be treated...
This paper presents an indirect rotor-field oriented control (IRFOC) algorithm for symmetrical six-phase double-winding induction machines with four three-phase sub-winding sets. The presented algorithm introduces the ability to control the power flow between different sub-winding sets. Multiple three-phase induction machines are utilised for critical applications such as more-electric aircrafts,...
LLC resonant converter is most frequently effective DC/DC converter to improve the power density and efficiency of DC charging module in electric vehicle power supply. Soft-switching technique can be applied in the topology to reduce the switch losses. However, DC charging module brings about 27% of failures in Electric vehicles (EV) charge device. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the reliability...
For a particular five-phase synchronous machine, this paper investigates the sensitivity of a vectorial control strategy on the required peak phase voltage whose value is fundamental for the choice of the DC bus voltage. The specificity of the machine is that the first and third harmonic components of the back electromotive force (back-emf) have the same amplitude. As a consequence, the torque can...
Serious sealing problems cause premature retirement of Lithium-ion punch cells in the service stage. This paper mainly investigates the sealing failure behavior of Li-ion punch cell. A non-linear peeling model was established with experimental verification to explain the failure behavior of sealing cohesive zone. Based on the peeling model, a sealing life prediction method is proposed by describing...
The reliability aspect study of Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) is of great interest in industry applications, such as offshore wind. Lifetime prediction of key components is an important tool to design MMC with fulfilled reliability specifications. While many efforts have been made to the lifetime prediction of IGBT modules in renewable energy applications by considering long-term varying operation...
In the operation of a photovoltaic system, one of the most important issues is absorbing maximum power from the PV array under continuous and rapid changing irradiance condition. The sampling points obtained at different moments are not on the PV characteristic curve with the same irradiance, so the MPPT strategy may misjudge. In this paper, a novel method to track the MPP is presented, which is based...
The paper presents a novel data integrity attack on consensus-based load shedding algorithm. In particular, we show that by sending out elaborately falsified information during the consensus iterations, attackers could manipulate the system operating point to achieve selfish goals, e.g. loads remain being served under contingencies while shedding other loads. More importantly, still maintain the system...
Since the population of elderly gradually increases recently in developed country, and it causes an increase of burdens to care workers, there exists a strong demand for walking assist devices. The falling down of elderly may cause serious injuries which results in significant decrease of quality of life. Conventional wearable walking support devices are not easy for elderly to wear. The authors have...
In this paper a model suitable for representing the electrical dynamic behaviour of Sodium Metal Halides Batteries (SMHBs) has been reported. In particular, the Thévenin circuit approach has been investigated considering the equivalent circuit parameters depending on the State Of Charge (SOC). The proposed SMHB model has been developed referring to the experimental tests conducted on a commercial...
This paper presents a new configuration of an off-grid single-phase generator using a three-phase induction machine. The use of this kind of machine, cheap and robust, is in line with the “jugaad” philosophy, better known as frugal innovation. In such an application, three-phase induction machines are usually operated as stand-alone single-phase generator which are either self-excited using terminal...
Direct current internal resistance (DCIR) is a key parameter to determine consistency of power characteristics of a battery pack. This consistency is influenced by batteries' internal temperature, which reflects consistency of the batteries' thermal characteristics inherently. In this paper, an evaluation method for thermal consistency of batteries' DCIR is proposed. Arrhenius coefficient of DCIR...
Electricity consumption prediction is an important but demanding issue in the study of power systems. It is difficult for the conventional prediction methods, such as linear models, to utilize relevant domain knowledge in the forecasting of power peaks. In this paper, we propose an approach merging a regression predictor and a peak compensator together. The latter is designed to compensate for the...
In high-power converters based on SiC-MOSFET half-bridge modules, laminated busbar plays a critical role in linking the DC capacitor bank to power modules. The busbar stray capacitance has the same order of magnitude with drain-source capacitance of SiC-MOSFET and has a great impact on the turn-off voltage oscillation of SiC-MOSFET. In this paper, parasitic elements of a three-layer laminated busbar...
In modern distributed energy systems (DES), there is a shift in focus from conventional centralized approach to more advanced distributed architecture. Modeling and analysis of these complex systems is more challenging, as multiple energy sources are connected with different loads through power electronics converters. Due to vastly different dynamic characteristics of these converters, it is necessary...
IoT systems deployed in industrial and smart factory settings generate large volumes of data at high velocity. Context awareness is mandatory for knowledge discovery and actionable insights from such high-velocity, high-volume IoT data streams. Changes to the context of a data stream are represented in the underlying data distribution. Research in concept drift aims to detect and adapt to such changes...
