Improved thermal management and analysis for stator end-windings of electrical machines (2018)
Journal Article
Madonna, V., Walker, A., Giangrande, P., Serra, G., Gerada, C., & Galea, M. (2019). Improved thermal management and analysis for stator end-windings of electrical machines. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 66(7), 5057-5069. https://doi.org/10.1109/tie.2018.2868288

In electrical machine design, thermal management plays a key role in improving performance and reducing size. End-windings are commonly identified as the machine hot-spot. Hence, lowering and predicting end-windings temperature are crucial tasks in t... Read More about Improved thermal management and analysis for stator end-windings of electrical machines.

Novel core designs to miniaturise passive magnetic components (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walker, A., Vakil, G., & Gerada, C. (2018, June). Novel core designs to miniaturise passive magnetic components. Presented at ITEC 2018

Converter sizes are often dominated by passive magnetic components. Passive magnetic component sizes are in turn limited by electromagnetic saturation and thermal limits. This paper covers two modifications to the air gaps of tape wound amorphous mag... Read More about Novel core designs to miniaturise passive magnetic components.
