Research and development on hybrid excitation flux switching machines (HEFSM) for various applications have been carried out in the last years. The designed HEFSM consist of permanent magnet (PM) and DC field excitation coil (DC-FEC) which is located on the stator core as their main flux sources, while a single piece rotor gives the advantages of robust rotor structure. Since most of the designed HEFSMs utilize three-phase windings, more complicated design and control system are required to run the motor. Thus, a new design of single-phase E-Core HEFSM with several advantages of much simpler converter size and smaller battery package due to small voltage capacity when compared with conventional three-phase system is proposed. Consequently, the size of overall configuration systems will also be reduced resulting in reducing total weight and cost. In this paper, initial performances of 4S-4P, 4S-6P, 4S-8P and 4S-10P E-Core HEFSM topologies are analysed. Since 4S-10P design gives highest torque and power performances, deterministic design optimization approach is conducted to enhance much higher and optimum performances. As conclusion, the optimized E-core HEFSM with 4S-10P topology has achieved maximum torque and power of 208.857Nm and 47.31 kW, respectively.

This paper proposes a new unified power flow controller (UPFC) topology. A single phase of them system with the proposed topology consists of an N:2 transformer with a center tap at the low-voltage side and a power converter module comprising full- and half-bridge converters. A three-phase system can be implemented with three devices. While the conventional UPFC topology uses two three-phase transformers, which are called series and parallel transformers, the proposed topology utilizes three single-phase transformers to implement a three-phase UPFC system. By using an autotransformer structure, the power rating of the transformers and the voltage rating of switches in the power converter module can be significantly decreased. As a result, it is possible to reduce the installation spaces and costs compared with the conventional UPFC topology. In addition, by adopting a full- and half-bridge converter structure, the proposed topology can be easily implemented with conventional power devices and control techniques. The techniques used to control the proposed topology are described in this paper. The results obtained from simulations and experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed UPFC topology.

This paper presents a new design modification of Hybrid Excitation Flux Switching Machine (HEFSM) in which the initial Field Excitation Coil (FEC) in theta direction is replaced with FEC in radial direction. Obviously, the new design has advantages of preventing flux cancellation between FEC and armature coil windings. With similar design restrictions and specifications of existing electric motor used in traction drive applications, initial performances of the proposed HEFSM are evaluated based on 2D-FEA. Design modification by using deterministic optimization approach is conducted in effort to achieve the optimum performances. After several cycles of iteration, the improved HEFSM with FEC in radial direction has achieved torque and power of 304.8Nm and 130kW, respectively.

In recent years, numerous topologies of single phase and three phase Field Excited Flux-Switching Machine (FEFSM) have been developed for several applications. Comparative study of three types of single-phase low-priced Field Excited Flux-Switching Machine (FEFSM) is presented in this paper. Both the conventional 8S/4P sub-part rotor design and 6S/3P salient rotor design have an overlapped winding arrangements between armature coil and field excitation coil that depicts high copper losses as well as  results in increased size of motor. Additionally, FEFSM with salient structure of the rotor have high flux strength in the stator-core that has much impact on high iron losses. Copper consumption and iron loss being a crucial proportion in total machine losses. Therefore a  novel topology of single phase modular rotor field excited FSM with 8S/6P configuration is proposed, which enable non-overlap arrangement between armature coil and FEC winding that facilitates devaluation in the copper losses. The proposed modular rotor design acquires reduced iron losses as well as reduced active rotor mass comparatively to conventional rotor design. It is very persuasive to analyze the best range of speed for these rotors to avoid cracks and deformation, the maximum tensile strength (can be measured with principal stress in research) of the rotor analysis is conducted using JMAG. A deterministic optimization technique is used to enhance the performance of 8S/6P modular rotor design. The electromagnetic performance of conventional sub-part rotor design, F1-A3-3P design and proposed novel-modular rotor design are analyzed by 3D-Finite Element Analysis (3D-FEA), includes flux linkage, flux distribution, flux strength, back-EMF, cogging torque, torque characteristics, iron losses and efficiency.

In this work, a Three phase Transformerless Hybrid Series Active Power Filter (THSeAF) based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is proposed to mitigate the voltage and current distortions present in an electrical distribution systems (EDS). A Sliding Mode Controller is designed by controlling the parameters present on the load side as well as source side of the system. Three separate voltage source converters (VSC) are used. The mod1elling of the system is derived by considering a single-phase system by using state space analysis. The frequency response characteristics have been derived for the single-phase system and the stability of the system is studied. It is observed that the system has good stability margins when the SMC is applied at the source side compared to load side. Simulation results obtained in PSCAD/EMTDC v4.6 have been observed for power quality issues like voltage sags, voltage swells, voltage distortions, voltage unbalances and their concurrent occurrence. The approach of stationary reference frame was used for source side control and PQ theory is used for load side control. It is observed that the proposed controller works well in obtaining a stable and constant load voltage during these power quality issues. The difference in settling time observed is around 4 ms for the load side and source side control. The THD present in the load voltage is near about 1%. The SMC is found to be robust in obtaining a constant load voltage with low THD and an improved power factor.

In this study, a chaos-theoretic method is proposed to model the case of ferroresonance that can occur under nominal conditions in power systems, and the factors that determine the types of ferroresonance to occur are examined. In the ferroresonance chaotic system modeled in Matlab environment, the length of the transmission line and the breaker capacities in the circuit are fixed and its relationship with the transformer efficiency is investigated. In the proposed chaotic modeling, considering the situations that may occur in practical applications, the ferroresonance situations that occur when the single-phase remains open in the three-phase system are examined. In the study, ferroresonance, which occurs when one phase is open in a three-phase system, is analyzed by considering the situations that may happen during practical implementations. The similarity between the mathematical expressions obtained from the systems that create ferroresonance and Duffing oscillator is evaluated. In the chaotic system, fundamental ferroresonance, subharmonic ferroresonance, and chaotic ferroresonance situations are created depending on the transformer loss. Additionally, ferroresonance that occurs when the chaotic system is of fractional-order is analyzed, and it is observed that results of ferroresonance with different fractional-order values are not different. The results show that transformer loss is a significant element to determine the type of ferroresonance in power transformers. Also, when the chaotic system is operated in the fractional-order setting, the ferroresonance cases that occur are re-examined, and it is observed that the system can exit from the chaotic situation and prevent the formation of ferroresonance when fractional-order control is applied. According to the results, the fractional-order method can be used to control ferroresonance.

In the recent past, multiphase power generation, power transmission, and electrical drive system are the main focus of research due to their several advantages over three phase. Multiphase drives have better performance over three-phase drives. A multiphase transformer is required at the input of a fixed frequency multiphase drive, rectifier circuit for HVDC applications and multiphase generation and transmission systems. This paper investigates a static three to seven phase conversion technique and presents a design of transformer and control strategy to analyze the effect of unbalanced supply on a three phase to seven phase transformer. The transformer so designed takes three phase as input and seven phase output is obtained at the secondary terminals. The paper also discusses input-output unbalancing. A complete design, analysis, simulation of the proposed technique and experimental validation is presented in this paper. Experimental and simulation results prove that the presented design produced a seven-phase from a tree-phase ac power. Input unbalance is reflected to output but is less than the input unbalance. A seven phase output is not produced if one phase of input is open and the transformer has more than three limbs for flux to flow. A balanced seven phase output in steady state is produced even in one phase open condition for a three limb core type transformer. A new definition of sequence components of an unbalanced seven phase system is defined in this paper.
