Integrated output filter inductor for permanent magnet motor drives
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raza Khowja, M., Gerada, C., Vakil, G., Wheeler, P., & Patel, C. Integrated output filter inductor for permanent magnet motor drives. Presented at IECON 2016

This paper presents a novel approach to integrate the output filter inductor in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system. The integrated output filter inductor is based on utilizing the motor magnetics as a filter inductance instead of...

The GesRec system is introd... Read More about A hybrid neural network/rule-based technique for on-line gesture and hand-written character recognition.

Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craven, M. P., Curtis, K. M., & Hayes-Gill, B. R. Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks. Presented at 3rd IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems (ICECS 96)

Limited connectivity neural network architectures are investigated for the removal of crosstalk in systems using mutually overlapping sub-channels for the communication of multiple signals, either analogue or digital. The crosstalk error is modelled... Read More about Multiple channel crosstalk removal using limited connectivity neural networks.

A new class of hybrid AC/AC direct power converters
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Klumpner, C., Wijekoon, T., & Wheeler, P. A new class of hybrid AC/AC direct power converters. Presented at 2005 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting

Variable voltage and variable frequency conversion of electrical energy from an AC source to an AC load is done in traditional power converters via a DC-link where an energy storage element (electrolytic capacitors) is situated. Despite its well-know... Read More about A new class of hybrid AC/AC direct power converters.

A hybrid indirect matrix converter immune to unbalanced voltage supply, with reduced switching losses and improved voltage transfer ratio
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Klumpner, C. A hybrid indirect matrix converter immune to unbalanced voltage supply, with reduced switching losses and improved voltage transfer ratio. Presented at 2006 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC 2006)

Achieving a compact and efficient design of power electronic converters is not a straightforward procedure: minimizing the size of the filter requires a higher switching frequency that causes additional switching losses that will require a larger hea...
