Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off (2015)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2015). Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off. Archives of Electrical Engineering, 64(4), https://doi.org/10.1515/aee-2015-0039

This paper considers the feasibility of different technologies for an electromagnetic launcher to assist civil aircraft take-off. This method is investigated to reduce the power required from the engines during initial acceleration. Assisted launch h...

Control of a hybrid modular multilevel converter during grid voltage unbalance (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Amankwah, E. K., Watson, A., Wheeler, P., & Clare, J. C. Control of a hybrid modular multilevel converter during grid voltage unbalance. Presented at 11th International Conference on AC and DC Power Transmission

The recently proposed parallel hybrid modular multilevel converter is considered to be a low loss, low component count converter with soft switching capability of the ‘main’ bridge. The converter has similar advantages to other emerging modular multi... Read More about Control of a hybrid modular multilevel converter during grid voltage unbalance.
