Power supply is an inevitable component for all electronic instruments as a constant DC source. Almost all power supplies use feedback loop to achieve constant DC output voltage. In a feedback loop, the galvanic isolation is required between input and output. It can be achieved either by implementation of opto-coupler feedback on the secondary side or magnetic feedback. In this paper both opto-coupler and auxiliary feed-back techniques are implemented and analyzed in a high frequency half bridge converter using coreless Printed Circuit Board (PCB) power transformer. The implementation of opto-coupler feedback is temperature sensitive and has relatively high cost. The auxiliary winding of transformer can also be used to provide feedback signals as alternate to opto-coupler. Auxiliary feedback implementation is cheaper, temperature stable and insensitive to temperature variations. In this paper, the feasibility of feedback using auxiliary winding of coreless PCB power transformer is investigated. It is observed that this technique can be used as an alternative to opto-coupler feedback.

Investigation of parallel-connected GaN E-HEMT VSI-based servo drives
Yürük, Hüseyin; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-1-19)
Nonlinearities in voltage source inverters (VSIs) are thought to be the primary cause of output voltage distortions which cause low-order harmonics in the output current. These nonlinearities also considerably degrades control performance and system stability for low-speed applications with low-inductance motors, particularly when the system operates in the low-torque area. The impact of the nonlinearities on the phase current and current control of a silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect tran...
Model predictive torque control of an induction motor enhanced with an inter-turn short circuit fault detection feature
Şahin, İlker; Keysan, Ozan; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-9)
Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular research topic in modern power electronics and it has been applied to a large variety of power converters and electric drives. The reason behind this interest in MPC is the advantages that it offers: intuitive and flexible algorithm, fast dynamic response, ease of handling converter nonlinearities, and system constraints, to name a few. In this thesis, MPC is applied to the torque control of an induction motor (IM). Involving both the theoretical foundation, compu...
ANALYSIS OF GROUND FAULT CURRENT DISTRIBUTION ALONG UNDERGROUND CABLES
Güven, Ali Nezih (1986-10-01)
It is important to determine the segment-by-segment distribution of the fault current in a multigrounded power network for better power system operation and grounding structure design. In this paper, a new method for the analysis of ground fault current distribution along underground cables (and/or overhead lines) is presented. The method is sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to simultaneously consider all the significant variables. The equivalent circuit developed utilizes both lumped and distributed ...
Design, control and optimization of vehicle suspensions with inerters
Gerger, Ozan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Başlamışlı, Çağlar; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Inerter is proposed as a mechanical equivalent of the capacitors available in electric circuits. The main advantage of the inerter is to provide a wider design space for a vehicle suspension by adding another suspension element next to spring and damper. Therefore, fine tuning of a suspension performance can be made without subjected to heavy trade-offs. The effect of the addition of inerter to a vehicle suspension and performance of the selected suspension arrangements with passive and semi-active inerters...
Harmonic Minimization in a Three-phase Asymmetrical PWM Rectifier
ISLIER, AT; Ersak, Aydın; RICHARDS, G (1994-04-14)
- A new pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for a three-phase bridge rectifier developed here gives minimized low order harmonics. As a PWM rectifier, it offers better input and output characteristics than phase-controlled rectifiers. It has inherited the chmcteristics of the PWM rectifier such as having high power factor at the input with low harmonic content of the input current and zero phase-shift of input voltage and current. The availability of power transistors at high power ratings enabled the imple...
