This paper presents the laboratory restructuring and development for the course of Electric Machinery, also known as Electric Machines or Energy Conversion, for an integrative teaching approach. It illustrates the laboratory restructuring by using modern computer software and hardware information technology (IT) tools, by introducing DSP and digital control technology, and by restructuring a tr...

Abstract: In order to increase the power rating of electric vehicles, insulated gate bipolar translator (IGBT) modules with multiple power terminals are usually adopted. The transient current sharing of the same polarity power terminals is related to the stray inductance in the branches of the bus-bar. Based on the laminated bus-bar of a three-phase inverter in the electric vehicles that consis...

This paper presents an integrated portable measurement system for the study of high speed and high temperature unsteady plasma flows such as those found in the vicinity of high current switching arcs. The system permits direct and non-intrusive measurement of arc light emission images with a capture rate of 1 million images per second (1MHz), and 8 bit intensity resolution. Novel software techn...

This paper presents a critical survey on different application of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in electric power system networks incorporated with FACTS controllers for advanced power system operations, monitoring, control, and protection. Also this paper presents the current status of the research and developments in the field of the applications of PMUs in electric power system networks in...

This paper presents the development of an experimental platform to test a real-time controller for a small Permanent Magnetic Brushless Direct Current (PM BLDC) motor using a Controller Area Network (CAN) communication bus. The CAN communication bus transmits and receives information between modules to control the speed, acceleration/deceleration, and rotational direction of the motor. The desi...
