In this paper, the effects of the transformer inrush currents in a real plant for Cold Ironing, with a power equal to 11 MVA, based on a conversion system using 4 NPC converters in parallel is presented. The first part describes the plant and the related problems, while in the second part two possible solutions are presented with the support of...

The growing development of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) has seen the spread of architectures with transmission based on planetary gear train, realized thanks to two electric machines. This architecture, by continuously regulating the transmission ratio, allows the internal combustion engine (ICE) to work in optimal conditions. On the one...

Induction machines are always the most used machines in industry, due to the several advantages they offer. The quite simple V/Hz control strategy is one of the most commonly used strategies to control induction motors speed, due to its simplicity and ease of implementation. However, using this strategy for controlling high power induction...
