A two-stator, one-rotor axial motor is considered for bike applications. It has a 24 slot 20 pole structure, and concentrated pole windings. Two stator cores are made with the laminated sheets instead of the soft magnetic composite (SMC). PMs are magnetized to the circumferential direction for concentrating the PM flux. The air-gap field is analyzed based on a simplified 2D model, and is solved for...
DC microgrid offers significant advantages such as control simplicity and less conversion stages for energy storage, renewables and electronic load integration. However, its implementation is highly restricted by the development of dc protection system. Especially, the series dc arc faults have been posing significant challenges due to low fault current level. This paper explores the impact of dc...
With increasing demand for higher efficiency, engineers are looking for an alternative solution to replace induction motors (IMs) in many applications. One of the very promising topologies is the permanent magnet (PM) motor with a squirrel cage on the rotor, which is referred to as the cage rotor PM motor in this paper. Based on the literature survey, the cage rotor PM motors have been studied and...

Multi-phase magnetically coupled resonant (MCR) wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has attracted wide spread attention recently, for it can not only reduce the sensitivity of system to the spatial scale effectively, but also maintain the high transmission efficiency and power in the middle distance.

Wireless power transfer has been recognized as a promising technology for electric vehicles charging. However, the parking misalignments between the transmitter coil on the ground and the receiver coil inside the car may cause variations in the mutual inductance for the charging system, which will reduce its transfer power and efficiency. In order to improve the transfer efficiency and optimize the...
DC voltage balance strategy is an important control part for Cascaded H-Bridge Rectifier. Proportional pulse compensation strategy is a typical voltage balance strategy, which can realize DC voltage balance with good performance under special working condition. However, the balance effect may be influenced by load current, and it is hard for self adoption under different load conditions. This paper...
The quasi-Z-source inverter (QZSI) has been presented suitable for solar photovoltaic applications mainly because of its one stage buck/boost capability and improved reliability. Carefully designed closed-loop control strategy is usually demanded by QZSI in photovoltaic applications for voltage boost, grid-connection and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Cascaded QZSI as to further step up...
This paper presents an analytical model, for a new spoke type variable flux machine, with AlNiCo magnets, in the no-load condition. This method is based on the solution of a simple magnetic equivalent circuit of spoke type machines. The effect of stator slots on the air gap magnetic flux density is studied and uneven air gap length is modeled. Based on the no-load air gap magnetic flux density, the...
In LLC resonant converters, the variable duty-cycle control is usually combined with a variable frequency control to widen the gain range, improve the light-load efficiency, or suppress the inrush current during start-up. However, a proper analytical model for the variable duty-cycle controlled LLC converter is still not available due to the complexity of operation modes and the nonlinearity of steady-state...
Accurate knowledge of motor position is required in the motor drive application where smooth torque performance is needed. The error in position causes ripple in the developed current and thereby produce torque ripple. This paper analyzes the various effects of position sensor error in the current developed and in the torque generated in a current controlled Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor drive...
Resonant power converters have become ubiquitous to efficiently process electrical energy, however, their complicated structure challenges linear controllers in anticipating their large signal performance. Since small-signal modeling techniques do not provide sufficient information regarding the large signal behavior of power converters, nonlinear geometric controllers can be employed to tackle the...

The SST topology is based on a modular Multiport Multilevel Converter (MMC). Energization of the cells auxiliary circuitry is not trivial due to the high voltages involved (tens of kV for the electric power distribution...

However, there are...
The recently proposed small-AC-signal droop based secondary control is very attractive for microgrids to restore the voltage and frequency of overall system and to share the output power between paralleled distributed generations (DGs). However, the previous work has not discussed the system stability of the novel secondary control method. This paper presents a small-signal model for the microgrids...
This paper presents duality of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) strategies between current and voltage source AC/DC converters and the relation between PWM strategies for suppressing either AC harmonics or DC ripples. In addition, the authors propose the PWM strategies of a voltage source AC/DC converter which have the duality of the PWM strategies of a current source AC/DC converter without extra logic...
When connected to a parallel compensated weak grid network, both the small and large power scale Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) system may suffer high frequency resonance (HFR) due to the impedance interaction between the DFIG system and the parallel compensated weak network. Since the parameters of the small and large scale DFIG systems, including DFIG machine parameters and the LCL filter...
While the use of foil windings in transformers and air core inductors is not uncommon, their use in electric machines is just emerging. Although prototype realizations have been reported in the literature, a definitive analysis of their thermal performance is necessary to evaluate their potential for broad applications.

For isolated DC-DC power converters, the inter-winding parasitic capacitance of the transformer is usually one of the main paths for common-mode (CM) noise. In order to simplify the CM noise analysis, this paper proposes a two-capacitor transformer winding capacitance model. The model is derived based on general conditions so it can be applied to different isolated converter topologies. A measurement...
