This paper presents a new method on reducing commutation torque ripples generated in brushless dc motor drives. In such drives the current ripples are generated by motor inductance in stator windings and the back EMF. The ripples suppression techniques that are practically effective in high speed as well as in low speed regions are rarely found. The proposed method here is based on a strategy that the commutation intervals of the incoming ang the outgoing phases can be equalized by a proper PWM control. The controller is implemented by a 16-bit microprocessor and effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified through experiments.

The high current pulsed power systems(PPS) for rail guns, ET and ETC accelerators require many components of very high cost. If one failed to select component specifications based on optimal design, cost effective and reliable PPS could not be obtained. It is very significant to study a preliminary circuit scheme and to determine optimal specifications via circuit simulation before constructing the PPS based on modulized capacitor banks. The optimal crowbar resistor value, module inductance was determined in view of energy loss, the voltage reversal of capacitors and the transient current of crowbar diodes.

The plunger speed of solenoid actuator is affected by mass of plunger, magnetic motive force, inductance, and return spring. These factors are not independent but related with each other according to design characteristics of solenoid actuator. So, it is impossible to change the designed value for the purpose of increasing plunger speed. In this study, we have analyzed the characteristics of high-speed solenoid actuator having a non-magnetic ring which plays a role to concentrate the effective magnetic flux into plunger. For more detailed analysis, we have performed FEM analysis and decided the optimal attaching position and length on the guide tube based on these results. And, we proved the propriety of the non-magnetic ring effect by experiments.

Retrieving the equivalent electromagnetic parameters (permittivity and permeability) plays an important role in the research and application of metamaterials. Frequency dispersion of magnetic permeability has been theoretically predicted in a metamaterial composed of cut wire pairs (CWP) separated by dielectric substrate on the basis of circuit theory. Magnetic resonance resulting from antiparallel currents between the CWP is observed at the frequency of minimum reflection loss (corresponding to absorption peak) and effective resonator size can be determined. Having calculated the circuit parameters (inductance L, capacitance C) and resonance frequency from CWP dimension, the frequency dispersion of permeability of Lorentz like magnetic response can be predicted. The simulated resonance frequency and permeability spectra can be explained well on the basis of the circuit theory of an RLC resonator.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on current limiting characteristics of a fault current controller (FCC). The FCC consists of an AC/DC power converter, a superconducting coil, and a control unit. Even though some previous researches proved that the FCC could adjust the fault current level, the current limiting characteristics by the superconducting coil should be investigated for design of the coil. In this paper, four kinds of model coils were tested; 1) air core, 2) iron core without any bias, 3) reversely magnetized core (RMC) using permanent magnets, and 4) RMC using an electromagnet. Based on a comparative study, it is confirmed that a RMC by an electromagnet (EM) could increase the effective inductance of the coil. In this paper, a numerical code to simulate the HTS coil with RMC was developed. This code can be applied to design the HTS coil with active reversely magnetized bias coil.

Although the power density in Double Stator Switched Reluctance Motor (DSSRM) has been improved, the torque ripple is still very high. So, it is important to reduce the torque ripple for specific applications such as Electric Vehicles (EVs). In This paper, an effective rotor shaping optimization technique for torque ripple reduction of DSSRM is presented. This method leads to the lower torque pulsation without significant reduction in the average torque. The method is based on shape optimization of the rotor using Finite Element Method and Taguchi's optimization method for rotor reshaping for redistribution of the flux so that the phase inductance profile has smoother variation as the rotor poles move into alignment with excited stator poles. To check on new design robustness, mechanical analysis was used to evaluate structural conformity against local electromagnetic forces which cause vibration and deformation. The results show that this shape optimization technique has profound effect on the torque ripple reduction.

To invigorate the tapped-inductor boost (TIB) topology in emerging high step-up applications for off-grid products, a lossless snubber consisting of two capacitors and three diodes is proposed. Since the switch voltage stress is minimized in the proposed circuit, it is allowed to use a device with a lower cost, higher efficiency, and higher availability. Moreover, since the leakage inductance is fully utilized, no effort to minimize it is required. This allows for a highly productive and cost-effective design of the tapped-inductor. The proposed circuit also shows a high step-up ratio and provides relaxation of the switching loss and diode reverse-recovery. In this paper, the operation is analyzed in detail, the steady-state equation is derived, and the design considerations are discussed. Some experimental results are provided to confirm the validity of the proposed circuit.

This paper introduces a high efficiency bidirectional resonant converter using an additional LC auxiliary circuit for dcdistribution applications. The LC auxiliary circuit operates as a variable inductor and the additional LC circuit helps to increase the effective magnetizing inductance, thereby reducing the turn-off and primary circulating current. A 5 kW bidirectional converter for dc-distribution system is implemented to verify the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show the high efficiency characteristics of the proposed converter over the wide range of load in both direction of power flow. The maximum efficiency of the proposed system was 98.1 % at 3 kW.

In this paper a new coupling method for efficient and simple analysis of single phase induction motor is presented. The circuit representation of both the stator winding and each conducting rotor loop (composed of rotor bar and end ring segment) is used in conjunction with the distribution of magnetic flux linkage instead of inductance matrix. The flux linkage is calculated using air-gap flux density distributions driven by unit currents in the stator windings and rotor bars. The field distribution of one turn of a coil is calculated by FEM and the result is used to calculate total flux linkage by employing a coordinate transformation. The numerical results give good agreement with prior literature. The method is particularly effective in analyzing the effect of the number of rotor bars.
