Drawing on Architecture: The Object of Lines, 1970–1990 (2018)
Book
Kauffman, J. (2018). Drawing on Architecture: The Object of Lines, 1970–1990. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press (MIT Press). https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11370.001.0001

How architectural drawings emerged as aesthetic objects, promoted by a network of galleries, collectors, and institutions, and how this changed the understanding of architecture.

Prior to the 1970s, buildings were commonly understood to be the goa... Read More about Drawing on Architecture: The Object of Lines, 1970–1990.

SiC-based Triple Active Bridge Converter for Shipboard Micro-grid Applications with Efficient Energy Storage (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Z., & Castellazzi, A. (2018, December). SiC-based Triple Active Bridge Converter for Shipboard Micro-grid Applications with Efficient Energy Storage. Presented at International Conference on Smart Grid (icSmartGrid 2018), Nagasaki, Japan

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET power module has became commercially available in the past few years, and it is attractive in dual/triple active bridge converters to replace conventional Si-IGBTs. The capability to connect with the energy storage system... Read More about SiC-based Triple Active Bridge Converter for Shipboard Micro-grid Applications with Efficient Energy Storage.

Comprehensive design optimization of a wind power converter using SiC technology (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussein, A., & Castellazzi, A. (2018, December). Comprehensive design optimization of a wind power converter using SiC technology. Presented at 6th IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid, icSmartGrids 2018, Nagasaki, Japan

This paper proposes the joint electro-magnetic and electro-thermal design optimization of a three-phase two-level voltage-source inverter, referring to the specific operational conditions of wind power conversion applications.

Sensorless Control of a Fault-tolerant Multi-level PMSM Drive (2018)
Journal Article
Saleh, K., & Sumner, M. (2018). Sensorless Control of a Fault-tolerant Multi-level PMSM Drive. TELKOMNIKA (Telecommunication, Computing, Electronics and Control), 16(6), 2930-2942

This paper presents a new technique to track the saliency position in a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) post a single phase open-circuit fault. The PMSM is driven by a fault-tolerant multi-level inverter that is utilized to implement a faul... Read More about Sensorless Control of a Fault-tolerant Multi-level PMSM Drive.

Bond behavior degradation between FRP and masonry under aggressive environmental conditions (2018)
Journal Article
