A new approach implementing the sliding-mode controller is proposed for dc–dc converters.
The equivalent control input is used as the system control input, which results in a duty cycle …

Optimal shape design of an interior permanent-magnet (IPM) synchronous motor can
substantially reduce its torque pulsation. However, the shape design variations should be …

The goal of this book is to introduce a reader to the basics of power electronic converters.
The emphasis is on the day-to-day electronic products. The course covers the features and …

In this paper a preliminary architecture of a force-feedback subsystem in steer-by-wire
(SBW) systems is proposed. In SBW applications, a force feedback control is needed to …

Development of digital simulators for transient analysis of electric power systems has been
the subject of many research works during the last four decades. In most studies, the …

Although there are analytical methods for field calculation in surface-mounted synchronous
motors, accurate analytical methods for predicting airgap flux density distribution in Interior …

There is currently a need of magneto-electrical apparatus such as inductor and transformer
that operate at hundreds of kHz up to several MHz, or even higher frequency. The material …

This paper explores ways, including the use of SiC diodes, to increase the efficiency and
switching frequency of continuous mode Boost PFC Converters. The dependence of …

Power factor and harmonics problem in industrial power systems with non-linear loads is
presented. Traditional and modern advanced technologies for power factor improvement …

In this paper, it is shown that using the power injection model for a UPFC, there exists a set
of operating points for which the same amount of AC bus voltage and active/reactive series …
