This paper presents a current transformer model that is useful on low frequency applications. To describe the iron core magnetic behaviour of the iron core, a hysteresis model is proposed, which is able to generate minor asymmetric loops and remanent flux. The effects of classic eddy current losses and anomalous losses are represented by linear and nonlinear resistors, respectively. The obtaine...

This paper presents an eddy current loss analysis for a transverse flux rotary machine (TFRM) with laminated stator cores, which consist of inner and outer cores whose laminated directions are perpendicular to each other. Although the TFRM is laminated to reduce eddy current losses, it still exhibits rapidly increasing core losses as the frequency increases. To solve this problem, slits are int...

A theoretical model for the molten carbonate fuel cell was developed based on the three-phase homogeneous approach. Using this model, the contribution of different cell components to losses in cell performance has been studied. In general, at low current densities, the electrolyte matrix contributed to the major fraction of potential losses. Mass transfer effects became important at high curren...

Zero-current-transition, discontinuousconduction-mode (ZCT-DCM) converters are introduced in this paper. Compared to hard-switching (PWM) converters in DCM, the ZCT-DCM converters have similar current stresses and conduction losses, and much reduced turn-off switching losses. At the expense of increased voltage stresses, zerocurrent/zero-voltage switching is maintained for a wide range of loads...

NdFeB permanent magnets (PMs) are widely used in high performance electrical machines, but their relatively high conductivity subjects them to eddy current losses that can lead to magnetization loss. The Finite Element (FE) method is generally used to quantify the eddy current loss of PMs, but it remains quite difficult to validate the accuracy of the results with complex devices. In this paper...

The fulfillment of wide variety in energy demand by growing industries and incorporation of renewable energy source in power system is made possible by multilevel inverter. From design prospective it is also important to take care of losses took place in inverter i.e. switching and conduction losses in addition to the modulation techniques which look after harmonic spectrum in output voltage/cu...
