Development of A Hybrid Wind-Wave Energy Converter To Enhance Power Output and Efficiency
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)Airflow rate has a significant impact on the performance of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters (WEC). A novel method is proposed in this work that improves airflow rate and output power by integrating a ... -
Direct Torque Control Strategies for Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Driven by a Three-level Simplified Neutral Point Clamped Inverter
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)The three-level simplified neutral point clamped (3L-SNPC) was first proposed in 1993. Compared to the T-type and NPC inverters, it uses fewer switching devices to generate a multilevel waveform. This makes the 3L-SNPC ... -
Modelling of Transformer and Medium Voltage Powerline Channels for Data Communication on Single Wire Earth Return Distribution Grids
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)Tangible benefits such as remote metering and fault diagnosis may be accrued by the implementation of communication capability alongside distribution grids, especially those that supply power to sparsely populated rural ... -
Smart Grid Distribution Transformers: Empirical Design and Dynamic Load Management
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)The increasing penetration of electric vehicles and distributed generation into distribution networks gives rise to higher, more volatile and bi-directional energy flows through distribution transformers. Consequently, ... -
Two resonant topologies for isolated bi-directional DC-DC conversion
(Auckland University of Technology, 2015)A bidirectional dual active bridge is a structure comprising two full bridges which enables power to be transferred between two dc levels via an intermediate ac link. This thesis introduces two types of bi-directional dc-dc ...
