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.

Predictive frequency-based sequence estimator for control of grid-tied converters under highly distorted conditions (2018)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a novel frequency-based predictive sequence estimator that allows for the isolation of voltages and currents harmonic components needed for the control of grid-tied converters. The proposed method relays on an enhanced Sliding Goe... Read More about Predictive frequency-based sequence estimator for control of grid-tied converters under highly distorted conditions.

An enhanced hybrid switching-frequency modulation strategy for fuel cell vehicle three-level DC-DC converters with quasi-Z source (2018)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Shi, J., Fu, C., Zhang, W., Wang, P., Li, J., & Sumner, M. (2018). An enhanced hybrid switching-frequency modulation strategy for fuel cell vehicle three-level DC-DC converters with quasi-Z source. Energies, 11(5), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.3390/en11051026

For fuel cell vehicles, the fuel cell stack has a soft output characteristic whereby the output voltage drops quickly with the increasing output current. In order to interface the dynamic low voltage of the fuel cell stack with the required constant...
