• Capacitive power transfer for maritime electrical charging applications 

      Al-Sallami, Hussein (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-07-07)
      Wireless power transfer can provide the convenience of automatic charging while the ships or maritime vehicles are docking, mooring, or in a sailing maneuver. It can address the challenges facing conventional wired charging technologies, including long charging and queuing time, wear and tear of the physical contacts, handling cables and wires, and electric shock hazards. Capacitive power transfer ...
    • A Class-E-Based Resonant AC-DC Converter With Inherent PFC Capability 

      Al-Sallami, Hussein; M. Ammar, Ahmed; Nour, Yasser; A. E. Andersen, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-22)
      This paper investigates the use of the class-E inverter for power factor correction (PFC) applications. Analytical and state-space models are derived showing the class-E inverter’s capability of achieving inherent PFC operation with a constant duty cycle. The inherent PFC operation limits the controller responsibility to the regulation of the output voltage, which is key for resonant converters with ...
    • Maximum Available Power of Undersea Capacitive Coupling in a Wireless Power Transfer System 

      Al-Sallami, Hussein; Hoff, Bjarte; Østrem, Trond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-23)
      This paper studies the maximum available power of a dissipative capacitive power transfer (CPT) system submerged in seawater. The CPT system's maximum power capability is driven using the network theory, precisely the conjugate-image approach. The equations of the maximum available load power and the system's corresponding efficiency are expressed as a function of the capacitive coupling parameters. ...
    • Optimal Solutions for Underwater Capacitive Power Transfer 

      Al-Sallami, Hussein; Hoff, Bjarte; Østrem, Trond (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-09)
      Capacitive power transfer (CPT) has attracted attention for on-road electric vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles, and electric ships charging applications. High power transfer capability and high efficiency are the main requirements of a CPT system. This paper proposes three possible solutions to achieve maximum efficiency, maximum power, or conjugate-matching. Each solution expresses the ...
