This paper details the design of a three-phase transmitter-receiver topology for use in dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) system heavy-duty electric vehicles. The proposed approach eliminates oscillation and voltage/current sharing problems that plague planar DWPT systems. Multi-objective optimization is employed to maximize magnetic coupling minimize undesired positive–negative sequence c...

PURPOSE To quantify the power-output demands of men's road-cycling stage racing using a direct measure of power output. METHODS Power-output data were collected from 207 races over 6 competition years on 31 Australian national male road cyclists. Subjects performed a maximal graded exercise test in the laboratory to determine maximum aerobic-power output, and bicycles were fitted with SRM pow...

In this paper a two-phase supply modulator suitable for envelope tracking power amplifier is presented. The designed supply modulator has the linear assisted switching architecture. Two-phase architecture is used in order to reduce the output switching ripples. The proposed architecture uses hysteretic control instead of pulse width modulation (PWM) which significantly reduces the circuit compl...

In this paper, a novel method is developed for designing the output feedback controller for Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). In the proposed method, the problem of selecting the output feedback gains for the SSSC controllers is changed into an optimization problem with a time domain-based objective function.Then, it is solved by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm...

In this paper a new linear power control technique is presented to control the output power of cascode power amplifiers. Using this technique the output power of power amplifier can be controlled from the maximum output power to 136 dBm, continuously. The characteristic of the output voltage versus control voltage is linear from 15.9 to 18.6 dBm (a range of 34.5 dB) of the output power. Also at...

One of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (WECS) is how to achieve maxim‌u‌m output power in different wind speeds. Maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst‌e‌ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. So, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. In this pape...

This study presents a theoretical analysis of a new combined cooling, heating, and power cycle by the novel integration of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC), and a heat pump cycle (HPC) for producing cooling output, heating output, and power output simultaneously. Three different working fluids—namely R113, isobutane, and R141b—have been used in power, ref...
