Linear Variable Capacitor
Research Description:
The parasitic nonlinear capacitance of diodes is well-known in power electronics literature. This research analytically confirms that the non-linear parasitic capacitance of two back-to-back reverse-biased diodes can act as a linear variable capacitor (LVC) and derives a model describing the relation between LVC capacitance...
An Integrated Capacitive Power Transfer System for Field Excitation of Wound Field Synchronous Machine
Research Description:
The development of cost-effective electric vehicles has renewed interest in Wound Field Synchronous Machines (WFSMs) for traction applications. However, low efficiency and frequent maintenance of the brushes prevent a wider adoption of WFSMs. To overcome these challenges, the application of wireless power transfer systems...
