The inverter supply of asynchronous induction machines for traction applications has a major influence on both electromagnetic and thermal performance. In addition asynchronous induction machines used with traction drives of rail transportation vehicles have different design strategies compared against commonly used standard machines. Generally, the design of these machines requires high electromagnetic and thermal stress. Thus, the additional losses caused by the inverter have to be considered with the initial design. Concerning the thermal design, a precalculation of the additional losses at various operating points is necessary. The additional losses depend on the characteristics of the machine as well as on the operating mode of the inverter. DC-link voltage and switching frequency have major effects on the additional losses. An important viewpoint of modelling and precalculation presented herein is given to the comparison with detailed measurements from different already built machines. Furthermore, the precalculation of additional losses enables the determination of an optimized switching mode to minimize the losses in the system of inverter and induction machine.

Modeling of Multi Open Phase Fault Condition of Multi-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Fei, Marco; Zanasi, Roberto (2011-09-10) This paper deals with the modeling of multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors under multi open phase fault condition. The presented model is suitable for generic number of phases, generic shape of the rotor flux and generic number of open circuit faults. The motor model in fault condition can be used for faults occurring on both adjacent and not adjacent phases. The model can be very useful both for simulation and implementation of fault-tolerant control strategies.
Modelling and transient analysis of a hybrid liquid desiccant cooling system Karshenass, Arash; Yamalı, Cemal; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) Desiccant Cooling Systems (DCS) are considered as an alternative method for conventional vapor compression cooling systems (VCCS) or at least a complimentary component to them. In conventional VCCS inlet air is cooled down to blow its dew point for dehumidification and then is reheated again to obtain air flow with desired temperature and humidity, and consequently inefficient consumption of energy. In DCS, dehumidification of air is done by utilizing of desiccant material to get desirable humidity and then...
Optimal design of synchronous reluctance machines Kiani, Morgan; Bostancı, Emine; Fahimi, Babak (2017-12-15) Electric machines are optimized to the extent of their magnetic configuration and manufacturability. Thanks to recent advances in development of composite material (SMC), 3-D printing, and programmable magnets, manufacturing capabilities have changed dramatically. Introducing of cloud computing and impressive computational resources has opened new opportunities in virtual prototyping in a multi-physics environment. These enabling technologies present a potential for a transformative approach in optimal desi...
MODELING OF GAN POWER TRANSISTOR PACKAGE FOR DESIGN OF BROADBAND HIGH-POWER AMPLIFIER Baştüzel Çakmak, Özlem; Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2-9) Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs) are the most crucial part for the development of high performance front-end RF and microwave systems. Power transistor is the key component of a power amplifier, which should be accurately modeled to provide good correlation between simulation and measurement results. Bare die transistor needs to be packaged, before attaching on printed circuit boards (PCBs) to provide protection, easy fabrication and prevent mechanical issues. In recent years, Gallium Nitride (Ga...
Investigation of multilevel inverters for d-statcom applications Deniz, Mustafa; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) The most important advantages of Multilevel Inverters are the absence of a coupling transformer for medium voltage applications and low harmonic current content. In this way, relocatable and economical STATCOM systems can be realized. Complex control algorithms and the isolation problems of measurement devices and power supplies are the main challenging parts of this type of application. In this study, the design, realization, and the performance of a Voltage Source Type Cascaded Multilevel Converter Based ...
