Desmedt, Michiel (author)Wind energy has shown to be a great renewable energy source, with a possible penetration of 20 % by 2040. In order to increase its competitiveness with fossil fuels, the LCOE should decrease further than it already has. Increasing the power rating of wind turbines has proven to be an effective way to achieve this. However, this results in...master thesis 2019

Landivar Lopez, Joel (author)A hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation is a cost and time effective method to develop a simulation environment of an electric vehicle's powertrain. Control algorithms can be programmed into a digital signal processor and tested with real-time simulations of electrical machines and power electronic converters, eliminating the need for developing...master thesis 2019

Li, Wan (author)Electrical motors have been widely used in various fields for hundreds of years. The asynchronous motor is always an interesting topic due to its advantage of the simple structure, robustness, low maintenance cost and long lifetime. In this research, a special structure rotor is used instead of the classical squirrel cage rotor. To understand...master thesis 2019

de Leeuw, Vincent (author)Wireless power transfer is getting more attention than ever before but seems to be lagging in the go-kart industry. Manufacturers are designing more electric powered go-karts, but haven’t found a proper solution for most of its major drawbacks. The added weight from the battery pack and the required time to recharge are just two of these major...master thesis 2019

Nobel, Onno (author)This report proposes an approach to implement improved Fault Tolerant (FT) control in a modular Open Winding (OW) Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) drive system. The report also proposes a reliability assessment on FT converter topologies and the effect of layering redundancy. An existing lab setup is used as a case study to create a...master thesis 2018

Yin, Shihang (author)Converters are the essential devices in the energy transformation process from the wind generators to the grid. Power electronic semiconductors have a high share of failures in the power electronic converters. Therefore, the reliability based on lifetime of power semiconductor generates more and more attention. This thesis presents a comparison...master thesis 2018

Zhang, Shaochuan (author)Stability and security of the grid are two vital aspects of energy supply. To keep the grid stable, it is necessary that the electricity plant can control and protect the mechanism. In the past, traditional plants could meet these requirements. Nowadays, the share of sustainable power sources in total electricity generation has become so...master thesis 2017
