This paper proposes the concept of a field programmable and configurable power electronic converter together with a new synthesis method. By considering the converter as a pack of resources, the converter topology and configuration of inputs and outputs can be programmed in the field through, utilising the available device resources.

This paper studies the capacitive coupling in a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system designed for charging applications. It proposes mathematical models using the conformal transformation for calculating air-gapped and underwater capacitance and verifies the proposed models using COMSOL multiphysics and measurements. The measured results show that we can achieve nano-farad capacitance ranges ...

We report on 71 Norwegian freshmen engineering students' self-efficacy and motivation in mathematics. Students' responses to five-point Likert scales were analysed across three groups corresponding to different performance levels on a set of mathematical tasks. The groups were investigated to trace differences in self-efficacy, motivation, and the epistemological beliefs about the nature of mathematics. ...

Underwater wireless power transfer (UWPT) has become an area of great interest due to the advancement of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and electic boats. This paper seeks to investigate the variation of the coupling coefficient and power transfer in air versus in seawater. The design is based on a class E converter as it can achieve soft-switching inherently. I made the transmitter and ...

In this thesis a version of the Kundur two-area model has been developed for Simulink and real time simulator software and hardware from OPAL-RT. This model should be used for testing the rotor angle oscillations load variations create. A review of the different control elements found in basic power systems has been reviewed and implemented. The main component that will be manipulated in the model ...

In today’s world, electrical energy is a necessity. The dependency on electricity is increasing day by day which caused the system to work under a stress state close to stability limits and disturbances. An efficient power system supplying electrical energy must be reliable, stable, secure, and reasonable to meet consumer needs. The power demand depends on several factors and weather is one of the ...

The inevitable growing demand for electrical power, depleting sources of conventional power generation, and world wide concern about global warming are major factors to boost the trend of renewable integration in grids. This rising trend is causing many technical and operational challenges where one of the most prominent problem is the overvoltage caused by distributed generation units, interfaced ...

We address the problem of state feedback translational motion control of a spacecraft formation through a modified sliding surface controller using variable gains and I^2 action for disturbance rejection. The exponential varying gains ensure faster convergence of the state trajectories during attitude maneuver while keeping the gains small (and the system less stiff) for station keeping. Integral ...

I denne artikkelen diskuteres studentenes bruk av læringsverktøy med spesielt fokus på et nettbasert tilbud. Egne forelesninger i et emne i lineær algebra for master ingeniørstudenter, fjerde år, har blitt streamet og publisert, og jeg har undersøkt hvordan studentene har brukt disse forelesningene. Data er innsamlet første og tredje gang dette ble gjort, og hovedvekten i denne artikkelen er lagt ...

Denne artikkelen diskuterer hva ingeniørstudenter gjør når de lærer lineær algebra. Arbeidet inngår i et pågående forskningsprosjekt om læring, og grunnlagsdataene for artikkelen ble samlet inn ved at studentene besvarte et obligatorisk spørreskjema der spørsmålet om hva de gjør når de lærer lineær algebra, ble stilt som et åpent spørsmål. Dataene representerer derfor studentenes egne ord om hva de ...
