 Abstract
This thesis aims to characterize materials for electrical machines. Electromagnetic properties (b-h curves) and electrical resistivity were the main properties investigated in the project work. Two types of samples are considered: stator lamination sheet and rings made of steel used for structural pieces in large AC machines. To facilitate magnetic characterization experiments, an existing test setup was upgraded. Sensors and amplifiers have been developed. The control system has been upgraded and developed SIMULINK modules have been adapted to dSPACE GUI. The retrieved ‘B’ and ‘H’ signals are processed offline to obtain the results. The lamination sheet has been tested for frequencies in the range [0.1-150 Hz] and flux density levels up to 1.5 T. The obtained results depict characteristics hysteresis curves and measured loss figures. The ring samples (structural steel) are characterized to explore the B-H curves at frequencies in the range [0.1-250 Hz] and field intensity up to 900 A/m. For resistivity measurements of the lamination sheets and ring samples, standard resistivity measurement techniques have been implemented. Keywords Magnetic properties, Epstein frame, hysteresisgraph, four point probe, resistivity measurement, soft magnetic material, electrical steel.

I. INTRODUCTION 
The phenomena such as the DC power grid, geomagnetic storms change, DC voltage of converter transformer may result in DC bias. Then the DC bias leads to the magnetic leakage flux increase in cores, metal structure losses, temperature rise, local overheating, dielectric breakdown, noise vibration, even the permanent damage to transformer.1 Meanwhile, the rise of temperature and harmonic will also affect the magnetic properties of electrical sheet steel. Manufacturers of electrical sheet steel can provide magnetic parameters, such as loss of iron core, that usually are measured at room environment temperature. The measured electromagnetic performance of transformer has a certain error compared with the actual operation temperature.2 When temperature, harmonic and DC bias change at the same time, the transformer operation condition will be more complicated. This paper is the first time to present the measurement research on the magnetic properties of oriented electrical sheet steel considering both different temperature and DC bias, and it shows the curve of magnetic properties under different temperatures (40 °C to 150 °C), frequency(50Hz to 4.5kHz) and DC bias (0A to 2.0A). It can provide a useful guidance for the design and optimization of power transformer

Hybrid DC/DC Converter for Electric Vehicle (EV) On-Board Charger (OBC) Using Full-Bridge (FB) and Resonant Converter with Single Transformer -Department of Electrical Engineering Myongji University Seoul Korea

ABSTRACT In this document a highly efficient hybrid DC/DC converter is proposed. Its design procedure, analysis and experimental results are presented by testing of the implemented prototype and. whole document is arranged into six chapters. Electrical vehicle battery chargers background, power level, different charging methods and purpose of the document is presented in chapter 1. High power DC/DC converter topologies suggested recently, and its benefits and drawbacks are briefly discussed in chapter 2. Proposed converter diagram, operational analysis and comparison of proposed converter with other DC/DC converter topologies are presented in chapter 3. Chapter 4 is about design procedure. Based on the design procedure suggested in chapter 4, prototype design and simulation results are given in chapter 5 and experimental results are given in chapter 6. Most of the previously proposed hybrid converters have used two transformers for each converter in hybrid structure that makes the size of the converter bulky and there was also low utilization and the power distribution problem between two transformers of the hybrid converters. To solve this problem, a new high efficient hybrid DC/DC converters using single transformer, which has characteristics of Full-bridge and resonant convertor for EV OBC, is proposed in this thesis. By using single transformer the power distribution problem has been solved and transformer utilization has become high. In the proposed converter, magnetizing inductance has been used at the primary side of the transformer to obtain the soft switching such as zero voltage switching (ZVS). Leakage inductance of the transformer has been used as resonant inductor on the secondary side to avoid the use of separate inductor as resonant. The prototype of 6.6KW has been implemented to verify the feasibility of the proposed converter and maximum efficiency of 97.4 is achieved at 413 V.

This paper proposes a dc/dc converter for electric vehicle onboard chargers using a secondary resonant tank. To attain soft switching characteristics, such as zero voltage switching, magnetizing inductance has been used at the primary side of the transformer. The leakage inductance of the transformer is used as a resonant inductor on the secondary side to avoid the use of a separate inductor as resonance. The proposed converter is applicable for a wide load range. A 6.6KW prototype has been implemented for a wide range of load variations (250V, 330V, 360V, and 413V). A maximum efficiency of 97.4% is achieved at 413V.

 (Abstract)
This thesis presents the dynamic analysis and compensator design of digitally controlled bidirectional LLC resonant dc-to-dc converter. The digital control scheme employs an additional A/D feedback from the current and voltage of the resonant tank network to overcome the limitation of the existing analog control. The superiority of the digital control over the analog control is verified using an experimental 300 W bidirectional LLC resonant dc-to-dc converter. The digital compensator is designed by emulation approach using bilinear transform. Both of the controllers are verified using PSIM simulation and experimental of prototype hardware.
