Fast and Accurate 2D Analytical Subdomain Method for Coaxial Magnetic Coupling Analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Akcay, Y., Giangrande, P., Tweedy, O., & Galea, M. (2021). Fast and Accurate 2D Analytical Subdomain Method for Coaxial Magnetic Coupling Analysis. Energies, 14(15), Article 4656. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14154656

Magnetic couplings (MCs) enable contactless speed/torque transmission via interactions between the magnetic fields of permanent magnets (PMs) rather than a physical mechanical connection. The contactless transmission of mechanical power leads to impr... Read More about Fast and Accurate 2D Analytical Subdomain Method for Coaxial Magnetic Coupling Analysis.

Enhanced Active Disturbance Rejection Current Controller for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines Operated at Low Sampling Time Ratio. IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics, https://doi.org/10.1109/jestie.2021.3063919

Recently, Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) Scheme has been widely used for current regulation in AC drive systems owing to its robustness to system uncertainties and its high disturbance-rejection capability. However, it has not been consi... Read More about Enhanced Active Disturbance Rejection Current Controller for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines Operated at Low Sampling Time Ratio.

Fast and Simple Tuning Rules of Synchronous Reference Frame Proportional-Integral Current Controller (2021)
Journal Article
Diab, A. M., Bozhko, S., Guo, F., Rashed, M., Buticchi, G., Xu, Z., …Galea, M. (2021). Fast and Simple Tuning Rules of Synchronous Reference Frame Proportional-Integral Current Controller. IEEE Access, 9, 22156-22170. https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2021.3054845

Synchronous reference frame proportional-integral (PI) current controller (CC) is considered the most well-established solution for the current regulation in electrical drives. However, the gain selection of the PI CC is still regarded to be poorly r... Read More about Fast and Simple Tuning Rules of Synchronous Reference Frame Proportional-Integral Current Controller.

System Level Reliability Assessment of Short Duty Electric Drives for Aerospace (2021)
Journal Article
Madonna, V., Giangrande, P., Harikumaran, J., Buticchi, G., & Galea, M. (2021). System Level Reliability Assessment of Short Duty Electric Drives for Aerospace. IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification, 7(3), 1888 - 1900. https://doi.org/10.1109/tte.2021.3053147

The reliability performance of electrical machines and power electronics converters are generally verified separately, even if the two components are meant to be part of the same electric drive. Depending on the application, however, it might be nece... Read More about System Level Reliability Assessment of Short Duty Electric Drives for Aerospace.

Lifetime Estimation of Enameled Wires Under Accelerated Thermal Aging Using Curve Fitting Methods (2021)
Journal Article
