Design optimization of integrated rotational inductor for high-speed AC drive applications (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khowja, M. R., Gerada, C., Vakil, G., Patel, C., & Wheeler, P. (2017). Design optimization of integrated rotational inductor for high-speed AC drive applications.

In order to make an efficient and power dense overall system, a close physical and functional integration of passive components is required instead of having a separate sub¬system for passives. Such power dense system is vital in aerospace and marine... Read More about Design optimization of integrated rotational inductor for high-speed AC drive applications.

Thermal Design of Linear Induction and Synchronous Motors for Electromagnetic Launch of Civil Aircraft (2017)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2017). Thermal Design of Linear Induction and Synchronous Motors for Electromagnetic Launch of Civil Aircraft. IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 45(7), 1146-1153. https://doi.org/10.1109/TPS.2017.2697941

The engine size of modern passenger transport aircraft is principally determined by take-off conditions, since initial acceleration requires maximum engine power. An elec¬tromagnetic launch (EML) system could provide some or all of the energy require...

Error-voltage-based open-switch fault diagnosis strategy for matrix converters with model predictive control method (2017)
Journal Article
Dan, H., Peng, T., Su, M., Deng, H., Zhu, Q., Zhao, Z., & Wheeler, P. (2017). Error-voltage-based open-switch fault diagnosis strategy for matrix converters with model predictive control method. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 53(5), 4603-4612. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2017.2695978

This paper proposes an error-voltage based open-switch fault diagnosis strategy for matrix converter (MC). A finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method is used to operate the MC. The MC system performances under normal operation and... Read More about Error-voltage-based open-switch fault diagnosis strategy for matrix converters with model predictive control method.

Reducing weight and fuel consumption of civil aircraft by electromagnetic launch (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Polenta, V., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2017). Reducing weight and fuel consumption of civil aircraft by electromagnetic launch.

Electromagnetic launch systems have been proposed for military applications to accelerate jet planes on aircraft carriers. This paper proposes the implementation of similar technology to aid civil aircraft take-off, which can provide significant econ...

A comprehensive analysis and hardware implementation of control strategies for high output voltage DC-DC boost power converter (2017)
Journal Article
Padmanaban, S., Grandi, G., Blaabjerg, F., Wheeler, P., Siano, P., & Hammami, M. (2017). A comprehensive analysis and hardware implementation of control strategies for high output voltage DC-DC boost power converter. International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 10(1), https://doi.org/10.2991/ijcis.2017.10.1.10

Classical DC-DC converters used in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems, lack in terms of efficiency, reduced transfer gain and increased cost with sensor (voltage/current) numbers. Besides, the internal self-parasitic behavi... Read More about A comprehensive analysis and hardware implementation of control strategies for high output voltage DC-DC boost power converter.
