This paper presents the modelling and control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) application. Nonlinear characteristics of SRM are obtained using finite element analysis. The fuzzy logic controller is used to minimize the torque ripple which improves the average torque capability of SRM. Obtained results from the drive using fuzzy logic controller are compared ...

Abstract— In this paper, we describe a method of systemic design of electric vehicles (EVs) power chain, reducing the cost of production and the energy consumption. This method rests on the choice of the structure and the components of this chain. For this purpose, we have selected a modular structure of a synchronous engine with permanent magnets and axial flux. The choice of the static conver...

A silicon ultracold neutron (UCN) detector with an area of 45 cm(2) and with a (6)LiF converter is developed at St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI). The spectral efficiency of the silicon UCN detector was measured by means of a gravitational spectrometer at Institut Max von Laue - Paul Langevin (ILL). The sandwich-type detector from two silicon plates with a (6)LiF converter placed ...

A mathematical optimization problem is formulated to design several components of an electrical power distribution system for next generation aircraft. A simple interconnected system consisting of an input filter and a DC-DC buck converter is used as the prototype for the optimization demonstration. The components are designed for minimum weight subject to performance, stability, and peak volta...

The objective of this paper is to propose a three input boost converter for the hybrid system in order to simply the power system reduce the cost. The proposed converter having two source act as a input and third source act as a storage element. Supplying the output load, charging or discharging the battery can be made by the PV and the wind power sources individually or simultaneously. The pro...

In this paper a single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) buck-boost PFC converter operating in critical conduction mode (CRM) is proposed. By multiplexing a single inductor, each output of SIDO buck-boost converter can be regulated independently. Compared with conventional two-stage multiple output converter, SIDO buck-boost PFC converter benefits from significant overall cost saving, small size and ...

Existing mechanical HVDC breakers are capable of interrupting HVDC currents within several tens of milliseconds, but this is too slow to fulfill the requirements of a reliable HVDC grid. HVDC breakers based on semiconductors can easily overcome the limitations of operating speed, but generate large transfer losses, typically in the range of 30 percent of the losses of a voltage source converter...

This paper presents a new Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) designed to facilitate the implementation of different power converter topologies. The proposed PEBB consists of two diodes and two transistors and it can be used to implement the most relevant power converter topologies, due to its modularity. The addition of the two diodes is an exclusive feature of the new PEBB, which permits t...

33 ABSTRACT This paper presents a comparative evaluation of five topologies of single-phase AC-DC boost converters having power factor correction (PFC). These converter topologies are evaluated on the basis of performance and their salient features are discussed to analyze their applicability. The techniques not only help to develop a deeper understanding of these converters but also to evaluat...
