In the 1970s, a small community of pioneering researchers around the world in industry and academia were laying the groundwork for the discipline of solid-state power electronics as we know it today. Near the end of that formative period, the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC) was founded in 1981 by Profs. Donald W. Novotny and Thomas A. Lipo at the University of

DC circuit breaker (DCCB) is one of the most promising solutions for handling DC fault in half-bridge modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based DC grid. Generally after fault isolation, DCCBs are required to have the ability to quickly reclose so as to restore power transmission. However, the traditional simultaneous reclosing scheme may make the whole system suffer from secondary strikes such as overvoltage

Insulation breakdown of dry-type valve-side bushing cores under electrothermal compound stress has become a key factor limiting the safe and stable operation of the converter transformer. Based on slices of the real bushing core, it is observed for the first time that fold, peeling off, and fracture defects exist near the aluminium (Al) foil edge, accompanied by many metal spikes with a curvature radius

Dry reforming of CH4 process can convert greenhouse gases into high-value-added fuels and chemicals with its?broad application prospects in environmental protection and renewable energy. Non-thermal plasma is considered an effective alternative method because it can activate CH4 and CO2 under low temperature and atmospheric pressure. This paper is aimed to optimize the plasma-assisted dry reforming

Overhead line conductors can generate audible noise across a wide frequency spectrum as a result of elevated electric fields at the conductor surface. Such fields are enhanced by the presence of surface defects, insects, water drops and pollution. Within this paper, the impact of a superhydrophobic coating on the audible noise produced by an overhead line conductor is examined. Noise levels from a

The lack of hydrophobicity transfer capability has restricted the applications of insulating materials in environments with heavy contamination. In this study, an epoxy resin insulating composite was prepared using a micro-capsule system to achieve hydrophobicity transfer triggered by creepage discharge. The influence of the micro-capsules on the electrical properties of insulating materials and the

The train-mounted ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) cables of electric locomotive are partly restricted by the body structure and spatial layout and are in a combined environment of strong mechanical bending and thermal ageing. The degradation characteristics of the insulation layer have not yet received sufficient attention. In order to study the ageing characteristics of EPR cables of electric locomotive

The authors of [1] presented a novel controller for PV-STATCOM. The theory posits dynamic modulation of PV inverters’ active/reactive power through non-unitary power factor operation. The proposed approach is applied to mitigate the effects of fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR) experienced in power systems with high penetration of solar PVs and induction motor loads. The structure of the

This paper deals with the use of utility scale solar PV systems as PV-STATCOM in high voltage transmission systems. In this case a 75 MW solar PV system is considered in a 138 kV transmission system.

The roof arrester of electric multiple units (EMU) can efficiently limit the overvoltage, and ensure the safe operation of the EMU electrical equipment. In the process of high-speed operation, the traction power supply system is often affected by overvoltage. In addition, roof arrester explosion accidents occasionally occur. In this paper, the on-line voltage measurement system of the EMU arrester

This paper offers a simulation study on the application of a novel approach to control the electric field around a basin-type spacer by combining permittivity functionally graded materials (ε-FGM) and superficially non-linear conductivity materials (SNCM), namely multi-dimensional functional materials (MDFM). The permittivity distribution of the ε-FGM spacer is designed by the iteration optimization

When high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes in high voltage DC HTS devices are quenched, amounts of thermal bubbles are generated in liquid nitrogen (LN2) that will reduce the insulation strength greatly. Especially when resistive-type superconducting fault current limiters meet a short-circuit fault, the insulation strength of the LN2 decreased significantly due to the thermal bubbles and electrothermal

Surface flashover of insulating materials induced by pollution and moisture environment is one of the main reasons for the damage of power system and electrical equipment. The improvement of the insulating materials surface hydrophobicity is key important, which can prevent the pollutants and water attachment, and enhance the insulating performance. In this paper, the super-hydrophobic film is formed

Arc discharges of moist polluted composite insulators pose a serious threat to the stable operation of transmission line. However, there is no effective detection technology for arc discharges. The evolution mechanism of interface temperature accompanied by arc discharges is not clear. In this paper, a 10?kV composite insulator with quasi-distributed fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) embedded at the insulator

Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is an important method for oil-immersed transformer fault diagnosis. However, collecting labelled DGA data is difficult because the determination of the transformer fault is time-consuming and expensive in the transformer substation, but DGA data without labels is easier to obtain. Therefore, the paper proposed a semi-supervised two-stage diagnostic system based DGA by

This article proposes a linear parameter-varying loop-shaping controller for a power-synchronized grid-following inverter (PSGFLI). This control strategy regulates the inverter output active and reactive powers at the terminal instead of the point of connection and does not require a phase-locked loop (PLL) for extracting the voltage phase angle. Hence, the prevalent stability issues exhibited when

Carbon/aluminium (C/Al) composites have the advantages of low density and high electrical conductivity, which have potential applications in aerospace, rail transportation and other fields. However, the unstable bonding of the C/Al interface and significant thermal expansion differences have resulted in risks of the composites' failure once suffering from severe thermal shock. In this work, the C/Al

In the high-power superconducting fusion converter, the single-phase neutral point clamped (NPC) three-level converter is applied to replace the traditional thyristor converter using an integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT) as a power device. The operating frequency of IGCT is usually lower, only a few hundred Hz. An optimized hybrid space vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM)-8H is proposed to

Current measurement offset errors occur in current sensors and related circuits, because of various factors, such as thermal drift, aging, and nonlinearity. The current offset error results in undesired torque ripples, which deteriorate the speed and torque control performances of vector-controlled drive systems. This study proposes an online current measurement offset error compensator for vector-controlled

The streamer dynamics and charge self-erasing of two counter-propagating plasmas generated by repetitively pulsed surface dielectric barrier discharge are investigated using electrical and optical diagnosis, and a two-dimensional fluid model. Three distinct discharge phases of primary, transitional and secondary streamers are identified in a single-pulse discharge through the time-resolved plasma images

The aqueous phase hydrogen peroxide (H2O2aq) produced from the plasma–liquid interactions can directly or synergistically (with other substances) affect the liquid chemistry, and therefore it is important to unfold the H2O2aq formation mechanism. However, up to now, a consensus on the H2O2aq formation mechanism is not reached. This review aims to survey the recent advances on the understanding of the
