Therefore, various CM noise cancellation techniques have been proposed to reduce the size of CM EMI filters. In this overview, four basic groups of CM noise cancellation techniques are reviewed: (1) reduction of CM parasitic capacitance, (2) adjustment of the transformer winding structure, (3) optimization of circuit configuration, and (4) addition of cancellation circuits. The advantages, disadvantages, and relationships between these techniques are systematically summarized, and future work is discussed.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"12 2","pages":"66-82"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11373447","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148443218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Periodic switching frequency pulse width modulation (PSF-PWM) is widely used in power converters to reduce electromagnetic interference. In this study, a PSF-PWM method is introduced for four-level inverters. A triangular carrier wave generates a switching frequency sequence based on three periodic functions, while the central switching frequency remains consistent with that of conventional PWM methods. The fundamental principles behind the harmonic dispersion effect of the PSF-PWM method are analyzed by deriving an expression for the power spectral density. An experimental evaluation of the proposed method is conducted with a simulation and real measurements of the operation of a four-level active neutral point clamped (4L-ANPC) inverter as an example. The results show that the PWM harmonics near the switching frequency and their integer multiples are dispersed to the adjacent frequency bands. Thus, the device exhibits reduced electromagnetic interference compared to conventional PWM techniques in four-level ANPC inverters.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"12 2","pages":"175-187"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11603235","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148443313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing the transient characteristics of doubly fed wind turbines at different timescales during faults, a joint multi-timescale coordinated control strategy, including doubly fed wind generator instantaneous spontaneous reactive-power compensation, grid-side converter fast reactive compensation, and rotor-side converter (RSC) compensation, is developed. A back electromotive force generated from the stator transient flux is applied to the RSC control loop as dynamic feedforward compensation, which together with reactive reference value optimization and virtual resistance, achieves fault ride-through without crowbar operation during faults.

A current-sharing method is proposed for multi-chip parallel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in a common-source structure and a current-sharing criterion is introduced for MOSFETs in a common-source connection, which improves current balancing in package modeling by suppressing the circulating current between chips in an asymmetric layout.

Owing to the randomness and fluctuation of PV power generation, PV GFM inverters face challenges related to the power mismatch between their AC and DC sides. If the maximum output power of the PV array fails to meet the GFM demand, this insufficiency poses critical challenges for stable GFM operation. A model-free predictive control (MFPC) strategy is proposed for PV GFM inverters with maximum-power point tracking (MPPT) and power-dispatch capabilities. The operating mode of the grid-connected PV system is determined by comparing the maximum PV power with the power required on the AC side. Subsequently, a compact-format dynamic linearization (CFDL) model of the boost converter is established. By adjusting the weight factor of the cost function, the PV current and DC voltage are tracked, enabling adaptive switching between the MPPT mode and power-dispatch mode (PDM). Model-free adaptive control (MFAC) is used for the voltage-current inner loop of the GFM inverter to further enhance the dynamic performance and robustness. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the proposed method enables adaptive switching between the MPPT mode and PDM as the irradiation and AC-side dispatchable power changes. Additionally, the proposed method provides better dynamic performance in the switching process and better robustness when the filtering parameters are mismatched.","PeriodicalId":36428,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"12 2","pages":"120-133"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11456881","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148443399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modulation method of composite excitation can effectively increase the average thrust of the motor and reduce thrust fluctuations, and the modular structure can effectively improve the phase tolerance performance of the motor. First, the topology of the motor is determined, from which an equivalent magnetic network model is derived to analyze the magnetic circuit direction and magnetic field distribution of the motor.

To address the low accuracy of selection devices in detecting grounded faulty lines, a line selection method based on the Pearson correlation coefficient is proposed by analyzing the similarity of the zero-sequence current fitting curve and the slope curve of each line in the distribution network when a single-phase grounded fault occurs. The apparent difference between the slope of the zero-sequence current fitting curve of the faulty and healthy lines is used to select the faulty line. Specifically, a local weighted linear fitting and differentiation are performed on the zero-sequence currents of each line to obtain the corresponding slope curves. Subsequently, the similarity of the slope curves of the zero-sequence current waveforms of the adjacent lines is used to determine the faulty line. If the similarity between a line and two adjacent lines is poor or negative (Pearson correlation coefficient close to or less than 0), it is determined as a faulty line. If the similarity between a line and at least one adjacent line is high (Pearson correlation coefficient close to 1), it is determined to be a healthy line.
