Investigations of dielectric monitoring on an energised transformer oil–paper insulation system

IET Science, Measurement & Technology, 2015
Frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS) is being used to assess the insulation condition of oil–paper power transformers. However, it has to date only been implemented on de‐energised transformers, which requires the transformers to be shut down for an extended period and may cause significant costs.

Hybrid Inverters With Dual Switching Frequencies for Switched Reluctance Motors

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid dual‐switching‐frequency inverter for SRMs is proposed, combining SiC and IGBT devices based on rotor inductance. The method enables accurate current tracking with simple hysteresis control, significantly reducing torque ripple, vibration, and acoustic noise while cutting inverter cost compared to full‐SiC solutions.
