Modeling and optimization of PCB coils for inductive power transfer systems

The auxiliary power supply for medium voltage converters requires high insulation capability between the source and the load. Inductive power transfer technology, with an air gap between the primary and secondary coil, offers such high insulation capabilit ...

AMS-100: The next generation magnetic spectrometer in space - An international science platform for physics and astrophysics at Lagrange point 2

Davide Uglietti, Thomas Günther Bretz

The next generation magnetic spectrometer in space, AMS-100, is designed to have a geometrical acceptance of 100 m(2) sr and to be operated for at least ten years at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2. Compared to existing experiments, it will improve the sens ...

A Reconfigurable Inductor Based on Vanadium Dioxide Insulator-to-Metal Transition

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia, Emanuele Andrea Casu, Matteo Cavalieri, Andrei Müller, Alessandro Fumarola

This letter introduces a reconfigurable planar square-coil-shaped inductor exploiting as the tuning mechanism the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) of a vanadium dioxide (VO2) switch placed in the interwinding space in an unprecedented manner. The VO2 th ...

Galvanically Isolated Modular Converter

Alexandre François Christe

The ever increasing penetration of renewable energy systems in the distribution grids will inevitably require profound changes in the grid infrastructure. One emerging direction, the medium voltage dc (MVdc) grids, is the cornerstone of this work. They are ...

Modeling, Design, and Manufacturing of Microfabricated Coils With High Inductance Density

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Douglas Martins Araujo, Florian Louis Copt, Jasha Poliakine

This paper addresses the design and manufacturing of small scale square planar coils with inductance densities ranging from 2 to 19 miH.mm-2. The design strategy is based on both analytic formulas and finite element method (FEM). Two different manufacturin ...

Investigation of the Intrinsic Permeability of MX-80 Bentonite through a 4-Scale Analysis of Its Fabric

Lyesse Laloui, Etienne André Cassini

MX-80 granular bentonite is expected to be used as a buffer material for high level nuclear waste storage in Switzerland. This material is composed of 85% of smectite clay and exhibits a particular structure with four different scales. MX-80 macroscopic pr ...

Optimization of the force and power consumption of a microfabricated magnetic actuator

Herbert Shea, Juan José Zarate

The force (F) and the power consumption (P ) of a magnetic actuator are modeled, measured and optimized in the context of developing micro-actuators for large arrays, such as in portable tactile displays for the visually impaired. We present a novel analyt ...

Sizing of branch inductors parameters in modular multilevel converters: An analytical approach

Alfred Rufer, Michail Vasiladiotis, Nicolas Cherix

One of the key features of Modular Multilevel Converters is the existence of inductors inside the branches that constitute each of their phases. These inductors, which may be coupled or non-coupled, authorize a certain independency in the control of the br ...

Time-Domain Generalized Telegrapher's Equations for the Electromagnetic Field Coupling to Finite Length Wires Above a Lossy Ground

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Abdolhamid Shoory

In this paper, a time-domain variant of the generalized telegrapher's equations for transient electromagnetic field coupling to a finite-length wire above a lossy half-space is derived. The approach is fully based on the thin-wire antenna theory. The lossy ...
