The proposed converter adds an auxiliary bridge arm to the traditional full-bridge (FB) LC resonant converter as a boost arm. It features two efficient operating modes: a charging low-gain (CLG) mode and a discharging high-gain (DHG) mode. In CLG mode, the converter operates as an FB resonant PWM converter to achieve step-down functionality. In DHG mode, the boost arm is used for energy storage to increase the voltage gain. Both modes enable soft-switching operation across the entire load range. Additionally, the converter operates at a fixed switching frequency, simplifying the design of magnetic components. The converter has little magnetizing current and circulating current to increase the efficiency. The resonant capacitor in the converter has lower voltage stress and the transformer without air gap has lower leakage magnetic field, contributing to high power density. A prototype was developed, with batteries voltage of 40–60 V and high voltage DC bus of 360 V. Experimental results validate the feasibility of the proposed converter.</p>","PeriodicalId":48518,"journal":{"name":"IET Electrical Systems in Transportation","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/els2/4960116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145366359","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}

The main magnetic pole of DNHC-PMVM rotor adopts DNH rare earth permanent magnet, and ferrite is used as the auxiliary magnetic pole of stator and rotor. The rationality of the proposed structure is verified by comparing and analyzing PMVM, DNHC-PMVMA, and DNHC-PMVMB by finite method. In order to further optimize the motor structure, the cuckoo search (CS) grey wolf optimization (CSGWO)algorithm is improved, and the improvement strategies such as circle chaotic mapping are introduced. After multiobjective optimization test, it is proved that the comprehensive performance of improved CSGWO (ICSGWO) is better than that of CSGWO, GWO algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and other algorithms. Based on the response surface method (RSM), ICSGWO, and parameter scanning, the three motor structures are optimized, respectively. The finite element method is used to analyze the three optimized motors. The results show that the performance parameters such as electromagnetic torque and torque ripple are significantly improved, which verifies the effectiveness of the optimization method.

Subsequent thermal treatment at 850 °C further increased the density to 98% without compromising the fine grain (<3 μm). Additionally, Cr2O3 doping (0, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 mol%) effectively constructed asymmetric double Schottky barriers between grains and grain boundaries, significantly enhancing the nonlinear ohmic properties.

Substation voltage settings are usually adjusted by a skilled designer using practical judgment and design acumen. To maximize operations, all traction substation voltage levels are automatically adjusted to the same value. This arrangement works well and may not have affected the power supply system. This design often causes operations to deviate from optimal performance, perhaps reducing energy efficiency. This research seeks to determine the optimal traction substation voltage setting that minimizes total energy consumption of DC electric railways. A simulation-based approach is applied using train movement data and voltage variation scenarios. The proposed designs are linear, <i>V</i>-shaped, and fixed-voltage. Additionally, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an effective way to find the best design. The Bangkok Transit System (BTS) Sukhumvit line is used for testing.
