However, incorporating HTS windings necessitates a cryogenic system, which can increase costs, add weight and reduce overall generator efficiency. Consequently, investigating AC losses in HTS windings is crucial given the losses largely influence the cryogenic requirements. C-GEN is a permanent magnet synchronous generator conceived by the University of Edinburgh, which is characterised by modular structures for easy installation and maintenance. In this work, we have numerically investigated the AC losses in a MW-class direct drive air-cored HTS wind turbine generator, which has evolved from the C-GEN topology. Finite-element method (FEM) modelling was applied using COMSOL Multiphysics to build generator models equipped with HTS windings. Four designs were analysed in this study. Design-1 follows a conventional C-GEN structure and serves as a reference, utilising permanent magnets (PMs) for the rotor and air-cored copper windings for the stator. Designs-2 and 3 incorporate partial HTS structures. Design-2 replaces the stator copper coils with HTS windings, whereas Design-3 substitutes the rotor permanent magnets with closed magnetic loop (CML) HTS coil arrays. Design-4 features a fully HTS design, with both HTS rotor and stator windings. Dynamic analysis of the AC losses in HTS windings was conducted. The simulation results show that both partially and fully HTS designs provide higher power density compared with conventional design.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144558100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, designing and selecting components that can operate at cryogenic temperatures present significant challenges. Fault protection in the closely coupled onboard DC power networks of electric aircraft is particularly difficult due to the rapid rise and high magnitude of fault currents. A hybrid DC circuit breaker integrated with a current limiter is a promising solution for fault protection. In this paper, a high-power 3.3 kV/1.5 kA press-pack IGBT has been chosen and investigated as the main breaker of the proposed hybrid DC circuit breaker, with metal oxide varistors (MOVs) to clamp the voltage during current interruption. Modifications to the press-pack IGBT and MOV are introduced to make them compatible for cryogenic operations. The junction temperature rise of the press-pack IGBT during current interruption is then simulated. High-current interruption tests are conducted at both room temperature and cryogenic temperatures. The experimental results demonstrate that the 3.3 kV/1.5 kA press-pack IGBT can interrupt currents exceeding 5.1 kA when immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath. Additionally, the voltage across the DC circuit breaker is clamped below 1 kV using cryogenically compatible MOVs.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing methods extract independent features directly from the detection signals and merely combine them without considering the correlation and complementarity between these features. This oversight leads to insufficient characterisation of fault information, thereby reducing diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, a high-correlation feature screening and combination method is proposed for processing oscillating wave signals. First, a multidimensional transformation method for oscillating wave signals is developed. Secondly, the time–domain signals acquired through the oscillating wave method are transformed into a time–frequency domain image, from which colour and texture features are extracted. Next, single features from different dimensions are integrated into multiple composite features by employing a feature fusion technique. Then optimal multifeatures are selected using the standardised cluster-centre parameter. Based on the multifeatures, the intelligent algorithm completes the classification. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the multifeature fusion method, which incorporates colour and texture features, can accurately identify fault types, degrees and locations. This approach offers crucial technical support for the automated analysis of oscillating wave signals.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon occurs when the amplitude of the stator voltage exceeds the minimum value of the fluctuating dc-link voltage. To address this issue, flux weakening (FW) control can effectively reduce the stator voltage and mitigate the energy backflow phenomenon. However, dc-link voltage fluctuation can introduce several challenges to the conventional feedback FW control. For instance, a dc offset in the calculated d-axis reference current is identified in this paper due to the dc-link voltage fluctuation. Additionally, an analysis of the small-signal model reveals that when the fluctuating q-axis voltage becomes negative, it can lead to system instability. Moreover, the commonly used PI controller in FW control fails to adequately control the ac component introduced by these fluctuations. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimised FW control method to mitigate the energy backflow issues. Furthermore, an optimal phase angle selection method for the d-axis reference current, based on the least mean square algorithm and gradient descent algorithm, is introduced to suppress current ripple caused by the fluctuating dc-link voltage. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed optimised methods.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A neural network is constructed to model the spatially dependent magnetization in the magnet. The physical model, based on the Biot–Savart law, is integrated into the PINN framework. The discrepancy between the magnetic field calculated by the physical model and the externally observed one is used to guide the network training, exhibiting both the model-based and data-driven characteristics of the PINN. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed PINN are demonstrated through numerical experiments with both uniform and nonuniform magnetization scenarios, as well as both noise-free and noisy observation data.

This method enables the model to dynamically adjust and adapt to system changes. When transformer operating conditions change, new snapshot data is employed to update the original snapshot matrix, while the POD modes are updated by integrating matrix low-rank decomposition with the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) results of the original snapshot matrix—thus avoiding the need of SVD for the new snapshot matrix. By incorporating discrete measurement data from the winding temperature, the modal coefficients are solved in real-time based on Gappy POD, facilitating the construction of the dynamic ROM. The proposed method was validated using a simulation model of 110 kV transformer windings. The results demonstrates that the maximum error in updating the POD modes is only 3.60 × 10−6, with a single update requiring approximately 0.12s. Furthermore, the dynamic ROM reduces the maximum error by 1.78 K. Without considering the snapshot matrix formation time, the average computation time for each time step is about 0.02s. This study presents a novel solution for the dynamic application of the ROM in the transformer temperature field.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although deep learning methods have shown success with single-sensor data, their diagnostic performance remains limited due to the inability to capture complex, multimodal fault characteristics. To address this, we propose an attention-guided semi-supervised vibration-acoustic fusion (AG-SVAF) model, which combines vibration and acoustic signals to enhance diagnostic robustness under limited labelled data conditions. The model integrates time-frequency representations derived via short-time Fourier transform (STFT) with a multilevel attention mechanism—including channel, spatial and self-attention—to highlight fault-relevant features and model cross-modal dependencies. A novel attention-weighted consistency loss further improves the utilisation of unlabelled data during training. Validated on practical transformer datasets, AG-SVAF achieves superior performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy and stability, particularly under challenging scenarios involving class imbalance and label scarcity. This approach provides a promising and scalable solution for intelligent condition monitoring in real-world power system applications.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are different types of motor analyses available in railway transportation such as electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical analyses. The goals of thermal analysis are to calculate and monitor motor temperature in components, avoid motor damage, insulation break and increase lifetime. Methods of thermal analysis include: lumped parameters (LP), finite element (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Good analysis should be suitable for the motor type and geometry, obtain good accuracy and reduce time consumption. In this paper, the authors perform the thermal analysis of a self-ventilated 200 kW induction traction motor used in urban trains. First, the thermal network is created and the proposed LP approach is provided to calculate temperatures. This model consists of two steps which makes calculation easier, takes less time and can be used for complex parts without changing the whole model. The temperatures of important parts such as end winding can be calculated by the proposed model with simple equations, without any change in motor parameters matrix, so the proposed model is more flexible and can be used for different cases. Then, FEA and CFD are used to simulate the motor. Some model parameters are optimised using equations to make the model more accurate. Finally, simulation results are compared with experimental test results in order to validate motor performance and the proposed model results.","PeriodicalId":13352,"journal":{"name":"Iet Electric Power Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/elp2.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
