Many organizations — faculties, firms, political bodies, societies, national academies — have recently been faced with the problem of aging. These trends are caused by increasing longevity of the members of these organizations as well as a lower intake at younger ages.

We examine within a life-cycle set-up the simultaneous choice of health care and retirement (together with consumption), when health care contributes to both a reduction in mortality and in morbidity. Health tends to impact on retirement via morbidity, determining the disutility of work, and through longevity, determining the need to accumulate retirement wealth. In contrast, the age of retirem...

A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one...

Emerging electric vehicle (EV) technology requires high-voltage energy storage systems, efficient motors, electrified power trains, and converters. If we consider forecasts for EV demand driving applications, this article comprehensively reviewed converter topologies, control schemes, output power, reliability, losses, switching frequency, operations, charging advantages, disadvantages. This is...
