This paper studies the concerns such as architecture and reliability in the deployment of electromechanical actuator (EMA) in the actuation system for more electric aircraft (MEA). First, the reliability of the actuation system architecture such as c... Read More about Design Considerations of Fault-Tolerant Electromechanical Actuator Systems for More Electric Aircraft (MEA).

Mass Production Costing of Induction Machines for Automotive Applications (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Hundak, V., Cox, T., Vakil, G., & Gerada, C. (2018). Mass Production Costing of Induction Machines for Automotive Applications. In 2018 IEEE Transportation and Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC) (500-505). https://doi.org/10.1109/ITEC.2018.8450116

Cost is one of the key parameters of electric machines designed for automotive applications. In order to keep manufacturing cost low, it is desirable to estimate the manufacturing cost of the machine in the early stages of the design process. For thi...

Design of a 43kW switched reluctance machine for a high performance hybrid electric vehicle (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Talha, A., Vakil, G., Cox, T., & Gerada, C. (2018). Design of a 43kW switched reluctance machine for a high performance hybrid electric vehicle. In NA

A switched reluctance machine (SRM) is very robust and capable to perform well under harsh conditions. It is simple in construction and avoids the use of magnets so it is cheap to manufacture. The powertrain of a hybrid vehicle presents challenging c... Read More about Design of a 43kW switched reluctance machine for a high performance hybrid electric vehicle.

Power quality improvement of synchronous generators using an active power filter (2018)
Journal Article
Abu-Jalala, A., Cox, T., Gerada, C., Rashed, M., Hamiti, T., & Brown, N. (2018). Power quality improvement of synchronous generators using an active power filter. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 54(5), 4080-4090. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2018.2828789

Active power filters (APF) are used to improve power quality and are commonly connected in parallel with the load at the point of common coupling (PCC). They are used to compensate for harmonics from nonlinear loads, for reactive power compensation a... Read More about Power quality improvement of synchronous generators using an active power filter.

A novel 24-slots14-poles fractional-slot concentrated winding topology with low space harmonics for electrical machines (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Zhu, S., Cox, T., Xu, Z., & Gerada, C. (2018). A novel 24-slots14-poles fractional-slot concentrated winding topology with low space harmonics for electrical machines. In NA

This paper proposes a novel winding layout for the machines with fractional-slot concentrated windings (FSCW) using a stator shifting concept and non-overlapping windings, with which all the non-working harmonics will be completely cancelled or signi...
