Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhu, S., Cox, T., Xu, Z., Gerada, C., & Li, C. (2018, September). Design Considerations of Fault-Tolerant Electromechanical Actuator Systems for More Electric Aircraft (MEA). Presented at IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition ( ECCE 2018), Portland, OR

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hundak, V., Cox, T., Vakil, G., & Gerada, C. (2018, June). Mass Production Costing of Induction Machines for Automotive Applications. Presented at 2018 IEEE Transportation and Electrification Conference and Expo (ITEC), Long Beach, CA, USA

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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Talha, A., Vakil, G., Cox, T., & Gerada, C. (2018, April). Design of a 43kW switched reluctance machine for a high performance hybrid electric vehicle. Presented at PEMD 2018 - 9th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives

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.-H., 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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhu, S., Cox, T., Xu, Z., & Gerada, C. (2018, April). A novel 24-slots14-poles fractional-slot concentrated winding topology with low space harmonics for electrical machines. Presented at PEMD 2018 - 9th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives

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...
