Droop control is a widely used technique for load sharing in DC microgrids (MGs). However, it has its limitations due to the MG voltage deviating from its rated level and, more importantly, it suffers from possible poor current sharing accuracy. Voltage drops across coupling line impedances is the main factor that causes these limitations, which is further deteriorated by the virtual impedance introduced...
Nowadays, the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) based HVDC has been considered as a promising technology to meet the increasing electric power demand. However, constructing new transmission lines becomes more and more difficult because of environmental issues. Consequently, the newly constructed DC lines have to share the right of way with existing AC transmission in close proximity. Meanwhile, as...
This paper proposes a power factor correction method of a non-resonant IPT system using a four-winding transformer. The proposed technique is applied to the IPT system with a dual active bridge converter to reduce conduction loss and winding loss. When two pairs of the primary-side and the secondary-side wires are connected in parallel, the low coupling coefficient between the wires driven by in-phase...
This paper introduces the differential-mode circulating current (DMCC) and zero-sequence circulating current (ZSCC) reduction method for paralleled inverters with zero common-mode (CM) PWM algorithm. By analyzing the reason of current jump in phase-leg, the method based on the freedom of PWM signal exchange and active voltage vector sequence exchange can be adopted which can keep volt-seconds balance...
Classical induction machine design generally focuses on achieving high steady state efficiency. In contrast, automotive applications consist of almost continuous transients, where the flux linkage is varied along the driving cycle to save energy. With conventional induction machines designed for high steady state efficiency, higher peak current and excessive machine losses can occur during the transient...
V-belt-pulley couplings are commonly used for speed reduction in induction motor driven industrial applications since they provide flexible transmission of power at low cost. However, they are susceptible to mechanical defects such as belt wear or crack that can cause slippage or damage of the belt and lead to decrease in efficiency and lifetime of the system. There are many limitations to applying...
This paper presents a new study on the comparison of dual-rotor single-stator (DRSS) and dual-stator single-rotor (DSSR) axial flux-switching permanent magnet (AxFSPM) machines. The DRSS and DSSR AxFSPM machines have the same dimensions except for stator and rotor yoke lengths. 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental verification are used for the comparison study. The comparison results...
High Resistance Grounding is preferred in many industrial applications. However, there are some drawbacks for the traditional HRG detection methods to locate a ground fault in Adjustable Speed Drive systems. The existing methods cannot detect or identify which phase faulted once the drive has HRG fault. This paper will present a leakage flux linkage detection based HRG fault identification method...
High power multi-level converters are deemed as the mainstay power conversion technology for renewable energy systems including the PV farm, energy storage system and electrical vehicle charge station. This paper is focused on the modeling and design of coupled and integrated magnetics in three-level DC/DC converter with multi-phase interleaved structure. The interleaved phase legs offer the benefit...
Conventional Hybrid Power Quality Conditioner (HPQC) adopts LC coupling branch and L coupling branch in the back-to-back converters to reduce the converter compensation capacity as well as the DC voltage. However, HPQC could only achieve the minimum compensation capacity under certain special load condition. To maintain the converter compensation capacity at a low level under all load conditions,...
This paper introduces a large air-gap capacitive wireless power transfer (WPT) system for electric vehicle charging that achieves a power transfer density exceeding the state-of-the-art by more than a factor of four. This high power transfer density is achieved by operating at a high switching frequency (6.78 MHz), combined with an innovative approach to designing matching networks that enable effective...
This paper proposes a new current controller with modified decoupling and anti-windup schemes for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. In designing the controller, an improved voltage model, which is different from existing models in that it reflects all the nonlinear characteristics of the motor, is considered. In an actual PMSM, unintentional distortion occurs in inductance and flux...
This paper investigates a novel two-converters based operation of a Brushless Doubly Fed Reluctance Machine (BDFRM). The BDFRM has a ducted rotor, and the stator is wound with two distributed windings which are fed from two separate power converters. Operation theory with frequency sharing between the two windings is introduced and corresponding FEA simulations are analyzed. The proposed BDFRM design...
An accurate modeling method for electric parameters prediction of CSR (Contactless Slip Ring) is proposed in this paper. Parameters of CSR can be conveniently obtained before simulation and prototype design. In order to increase the accuracy of the predicted electric parameters, the main flux are corrected by taking the partially coupled flux into account, and the leakage inductance is obtained by...
For suppressing of the conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI), passive EMI filter (PEF) is the most widely applied technique at present. The near-field coupling due to PEF passive components layout has great influence on filtering performance. Currently, the layout of PEF components completely dependents on the experience of EMC engineer. However, there is a lack in systematic design method...
Vernier permanent magnet synchronous machine (VPMSM) is a promising candidate for low speed direct-drive applications. At the design stage of VPMSMs, one of the key issues is the selection of the slot/pole number combination. This paper will show that a proper selection of the slot/pole number combination can be achieved based on an index parameter of VPMSMs: the gear ratio. Firstly, the magnetic...

This paper proposed a novel multiplexing module based on LCL topology for dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles. The LCL compensation network is widely used due to its insensitivity of output characteristics to load variation. But the design of an LCL topology requires a compensation inductor with the same value of a transmitter. The proposed multiplexing LCL module (MLM) can make the primary...
