This study presents a single-phase power factor correction AC-DC converter that operates in discontinuous conduction mode. This converter uses the pulse-width modulation technique to achieve almost unity power factor and low total harmonic distortion of input current for universal input voltage $90V_{rms}$ to $264V_{rms}$) applications. The converter has a simple structure and electrical isolation. The magnetizing-inductor energy of the transformer can be recycled to the output without an additional third winding. The steady-state analysis of voltage gain and boundary operating conditions are discussed in detail. Finally, experimental results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper represents an accurate evaluation method in the eigenvalue analysis of the synchronous machine which has the characteristics of seperated saturation and cross-magnetized one. The cross-magnetizing effect is included in the reactance and state matrix of the machine. And the machine with excitation system is simulated in the cases of those two saturations. The simulation results show the existence of the differences between the seperated saturation and the cross-magnetized one in the analysis of power system.

Power system restoration following a partial or complete blackout starts with energizing of primary transmission lines. Because system changed rapidly during early restoration process, transformer energization and load pickup is executed to maintain the power system stability. However unexpected problem such as harmonic overvoltage may be arisen during energizing transformer. The reason of harmonic overvoltage is known as transformer saturation and magnetizing in-rush current and so on, but it is difficult to estimate the condition of occurrence. This paper describes the analysis of the harmonic overvoltage while unloaded transformer is energized using PSCAD/EMTDC.

This study investigates the characteristics of Permanent Magnet Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMASynRM) using coupled FEM and Preisach modelling. The focus of this paper is the characteristics analysis of d, q axis inductance according to magnetizing direction and quantity of interior permanent magnet far PMASynRM. Investigation on nonlinear characteristic of machine is performed by Preisachs theory application. Comparisons are given with characteristics of normal Synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM) and those according to the quantity of residual flux density (0.3T and 0.4T) in PMASynRM, respectively.

This paper deals with magnetic field analysis and computation of cogging torque in IPM motor with an analytical method, which is based on the Conformal Mapping technique. The magnetic field is analyzed by solving space harmonic field analysis due to inserted PM magnetizing distribution. Conformal Mapping method is then used for considering the slot opening effect and rotor saliency effect on the air-gap field magnetic distribution. Then, by integrating the field over the stator surface, cogging torque is calculated. The validity of the proposed analytical method is confirmed by comparing the results with 2-D FEA results.

This paper presents analysis of Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) using Geometry Based Analytical Model (GBAM), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Fourier Series Model (FSM) with curve fitting technique. Further a Transient Analysis (TA) technique is proposed to corroborate the analysis. The main aim of this paper is to give in depth procedure in developing a Geometry Based Analytical Model of Switched Reluctance Machine which is very accurate and simple. The GBAM is developed for the specifications obtained from the manufacturer and magnetizing characteristic of the material used for the construction. Precise values of the parameters like Magneto Motive Force (MMF), flux linkage, inductance and torque are obtained for various rotor positions taking into account the Fringing Effect (FE). The FEA model is developed using MagNet7.1.1 for the same machine geometry used in GBAM and the results are compared with GBAM. Further another analytical model called Fourier Series Model is developed to justify the accuracy of the results obtained by the methods GBAM and FEA model. A prototype of microcontroller based SRM drive system is constructed for validating the analysis and the results are reported.

When a circuit breaker is opened, a large capacitance around the buses, the circuit breaker and the potential transformer (PT) might cause PT ferroresonance. During PT ferroresonance, the iron core repeats saturation and unsaturation even though the supplied voltage is a rated voltage. This paper describes an analytical analysis of PT ferroresonance in the transient-state. To analyze ferroresonance analytically, the iron core is modelled by a simplified two-segment core model in this paper. Thus, a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) for the flux linkage is changed into a linear ODE with constant coefficients, which enables an analytical analysis. In this simplified model, each state, which is either saturated or unsaturated state, corresponds to one of the three modes, i.e. overdamping, critical damping and underdamping. The flux linkage and the voltage in each state are obtained analytically by solving the linear ODE with constant coefficients. The proposed transient analysis is effective in the more understanding of ferroresonance and thus can be used to design a ferroresonance prevention or suppression circuit of a PT.

In this paper, a power loss analysis technique of a high-frequency transformer of a bidirectional DAB (Dual Active Bridge) converter is reported. To miniaturize the transformer of the dual active bridge converter, a resonant inductor was designed with an air gap included low-coupled rate state core to combine leakage inductor with the resonant inductor which is required for soft-switching. In this paper, leakage inductance and magnetizing inductance, core material, type of winding and winding method are included in the dual active bridge transformer loss analysis process to enable optimal design at the initial design stage. Transformer loss analysis for dual active bridge with a switching frequency of 200 kHz and maximum output of 5 kW was executed, and elements necessary for design based on the number of turns on the primary side were graphed while maintaining the transformer turns ratio and window area. In particular, it was possible to determine the optimal number of turns and thickness of the transformer, and ultimately, the total loss of the transformer could be estimated.

Mathematical singularities of circuit equations with three-phase ideal transformer connections are studied. Three-wired wye-wye connections, delta-delta connections, and primary four-wired wye-delta connections are singular. The matrices of their circuit equations have zeros in their eigenvalues. Three-wired wye-delta connections, wye-wye-delta connections, and primary four-wired wye-wye connections are not singular. The physical meaning of their singularities is that they are sensitive and prone to be ill-conditioned. Equivalent shunt admittances representing ion losses and magnetizing inductances make the singular matrices non-singular in wye-connected circuits. And, equivalent series impedances representing copper losses and leakage inductances make the singular matrices non-singular in delta-connected circuits. The tableau analysis is used for the study.
