Inverters play key roles in motor drives, flexible power transmissions, and recently grid-tied
renewable energy generation units. Therefore, availability and reliability of inverters have …

This paper considers existing more electric technologies in commercial aircraft and
observes modern reliability data and redundancy techniques to highlight the reasons …

ABSTRACT Three-Phase Induction Machines (TPIMs) are widely used in industrial drive
systems. The popularity of TPIMs is due to their simplicity, robustness, low size and cost. In …

This paper describes a novel fault-tolerant matrix converter motor drive system which
requires an appropriate control strategy and the application of an effective fault detection …

Onboard charging systems (OBCs) convert AC power from an external charging source into
a DC voltage used to charge the battery pack of an electric vehicle (EV). OBCs are versatile …

To improve the reliability of the matrix converter (MC), a fault diagnosis method to identify a
single open-switch fault is proposed in this paper. The introduced fault diagnosis method is …

A novel monitoring system, designed to detect open-circuit (OC) faults that occur in the
matrix converter (MC) topology, is proposed in this work. In this monitoring system, a new …

This paper deals with the more-electric aircraft. The electrification of the anti-torque system
of helicopters is considered. In particular, the focus is on the design of permanent magnet …

The matrix converter system is becoming a very promising candidate to replace the
conventional two-stage ac/dc/ac converter, but system reliability remains an open issue. The …

The monitoring of power converters is critical for obtaining systems with self-diagnostic
capabilities and fault-tolerant features. This paper presents an analytical work concerning …
