Advanced Nano Telescope: A cornerstone solution in Earth Observation

Recent developments in satellite industry gaining strong attention are so called nanosatellites. These small satellites, with sizes of about a milk carton, are easy to build and much more adordable, promising great advantages for future space missions. Up until today no reliable mid-resolution Earth observation instrument has been build that can...

Analysis of current distribution and circulating currents in a permanent magnet synchronous machine with parallel coils

In this thesis the current distribution among parallel coils and the presence of circulating currents in an electric machine is investigated. Differences in induced voltage and in impedance between the parallel coils might lead to an uneven current distribution, which may cause the temperature of a single turn to become too high. To determine...
