Journal Article
Giangrande, P., Galassini, A., Papadopoulos, S., Al-Timimy, A., Calzo, G. L., Degano, M., …Galea, M. (2019). Considerations on the Development of an Electric Drive for a Secondary Flight Control Electromechanical Actuator. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 55(4), 3544-3554. https://doi.org/10.1109/tia.2019.2907231

The more electric aircraft concept aims to improve the fuel consumption, the weight, and both the maintenance and operating costs of the aircraft, by promoting the use of electric power in actuation systems. According to this scenario, electromechani... Read More about Considerations on the Development of an Electric Drive for a Secondary Flight Control Electromechanical Actuator.

Experimental validation of a hybrid converter with enhanced switching ripple cancellation (2016)
Journal Article
Papadopoulos, S., Klumpner, C., Rashed, M., & Wheeler, P. (2016). Experimental validation of a hybrid converter with enhanced switching ripple cancellation. IET Power Electronics, 9(12), 2360-2368. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-pel.2015.0984

This study presents the experimental evaluation of a proposed new three phase hybrid converter topology for medium voltage applications. The topology is based on the interconnection of a low switching frequency voltage source inverter (VSI), rated at...

Investigations in the Modeling and Control of a Medium-Voltage Hybrid Inverter System That Uses a Low-Voltage/Low-Power Rated Auxiliary Current Source Inverter (2015)
Journal Article
Papadopoulos, S., Rashed, M., Klumpner, C., & Wheeler, P. (2016). Investigations in the Modeling and Control of a Medium-Voltage Hybrid Inverter System That Uses a Low-Voltage/Low-Power Rated Auxiliary Current Source Inverter. IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, 4(1), 126-140. https://doi.org/10.1109/JESTPE.2015.2488631

Hybrid converters consist of a main inverter processing the bulk of the power with poor waveform performance and a fast and versatile auxiliary inverter to correct the distortion. In this paper, the main converter is a medium voltage NPC inverter and...
