      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 ...
