Isolated DC-DC converters play a significant role in fast charging and maintaining the variable output voltage for EV applications. This study aims to investigate the different Isolated DC-DC converters for onboard and offboard chargers, then, once the topology is selected, study the control techniques and, finally, achieve a real-time converter model to accomplish Hardware-In-The-Loop (HIL) results. Among the different isolated DC-DC topologies, the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter has the advantage of allowing bidirectional power flow, which enables operating in both Grid to Vehicle (G2V) and Vehicle to Grid (V2G) modalities. Recently, DAB has been used in the offboard chargers for high voltage applications due to SiC and GaN MOSFETs; this new technology also allows the utilization of higher switching frequencies. By empowering soft switching techniques to reduce switching losses, higher switching frequency operation is possible in DAB. There are four phase shift control techniques for the DAB converter. They are Single Phase shift, Extended Phase shift, Dual Phase shift, Triple Phase shift controls. This thesis considers two control strategies; Single-Phase, and Dual-Phase shifts, to understand the circulating currents, power losses, and output capacitor size reduction in the DAB. Hardware-In-The-Loop (HIL) experiments are carried out on both controls with high switching frequencies using the PLECS software tool and the RT box supporting the PLECS. Root Mean Square Error is also calculated for steady-state values of output voltage with different sampling frequencies in both the controls to identify the achievable sampling frequency in real-time. DSP implementation is also executed to emulate the optimized DAB converter design, and final real-time simulation results are discussed for both the Single-Phase and Dual-Phase shift controls.

Nowadays, there is a boom in the use of electrification. Electric vehicles are gaining interest worldwide due to various factors, including climate and environmental awareness. In this thesis, a step-down isolated power supply for electric tractors is investigated, specifically the phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) DC-DC with synchronous rectification and zero-voltage switching (ZVS). This converter was selected for its high-power capacity with high efficiency. A 3500 W PSFB converter with peak current control (PCCM) is designed and modeled in MATLAB. The input voltage range is from 550 V to 820 V and the output voltage range is limited to 9 V to 16 V with a maximum output current of 250 A. All components were commercially designed and selected, including magnetics for the high-frequency transformer and inductors, taking into account loss calculations. Zero voltage switching for the lagging leg is achieved at 13% to 100% load. The proven efficiency of the converter is around 90

In the field of Power Electronics, several types of motor control systems have been developed using STM microcontroller and power boards. In both industrial power applications and domestic appliances, power electronic inverters are widely used. Inverters are used to control the torque, speed, and position of the rotor in AC motor drives. An inverter delivers constant-voltage and constant-frequency power in uninterruptible power sources. Because inverter power supplies have a high-power consumption and low transfer efficiency rate, a three-phase sine wave AC power supply was created using the embedded system STM32, which has low power consumption and efficient speed. It has the capacity of output frequency of 50 Hz and the RMS of line voltage. STM32 embedded based Inverter is a power supply that integrates, reduced, and optimized the power electronics application that require hardware system, software, and application solution, including power architecture, techniques, and tools, approaches capable of performance on devices and equipment. Power inverters are currently used and implemented in green energy power system with low energy system such as sensors or microcontroller to perform the operating function of motors and pumps. STM based power inverter is efficient, less cost and reliable. My thesis work was based on STM motor drives and control system which can be implemented in a gas analyser for operating the pumps and motors. It has been widely applied in various engineering sectors due to its ability to respond to adverse structural changes and improved structural reliability. The present research was designed to use STM Inverter board on low power MCU such as NUCLEO with some practical examples such as Blinking LED, and PWM. Then we have implemented a three phase Inverter model with Steval-IPM08B board, which converter single phase 230V AC input to three phase 380 V AC output, the output will be useful for operating the induction motor.

The research and the activities presented in the following thesis report have been led at the California Polytechnic State University (US) under the supervision of Prof. Jordi Puig Suari. The objective of the research has been the study of magnetic actuators for nanosatellite attitude control, called magnetorquer. Theese actuators are generally divided in three different kinds: air core torquer, embedded coil and torquerod. In a first phase of the activity, each technology has been analyzed, defining advantages and disadvantages, determining manufacturing procedures and creating mathematical model and designing equation. Dimensioning tools have been then implemented in numerical software to create an instrument that permits to determine the optimal configuration for defined requirements and constraints. In a second phase of the activities the models created have been validated exploiting prototypes and proper instruments for measurements. The instruments and the material exploited for experiments and prototyping have been provided by the PolySat and CubeSat laboratories. The results obtained led to the definition of a complete designing tool and procedure for nanosatellite magnetic actuators, introducing a cost analysis for each kind of solution. The models and the tools have been maintained fully parametric in order to offer a universal re-scalable instrument for satellite of different dimension class.

Il rilevamento e l’analisi delle frodi è una delle attività cruciali per un sistema di carrier billing. Una frode non rilevata prontamente può causare ingenti danni economici, mentre un falso positivo porta ad uno spreco di tempo da parte del team di Reporting and Control. In questa tesi viene studiato il dominio di un Payment Service Provider (PSP) operativo nel settore del carrier billing, andando ad approfondire il sistema di rilevamento delle frodi basato sull’analisi di serie storiche con la tecnica Holt-Winters. Verrà fornita una panoramica sull’architettura del sistema seguita da alcuni esempi in cui la scarsa qualità delle predizioni ha causato una perdita economica o temporale al PSP. Verranno quindi proposte numerose soluzioni per estendere e migliorare il sistema attuale, concentrandosi principalmente sulla pulizia dei dati da analizzare e sullo sfruttamento di informazioni implicitamente contenute nei dati. I miglioramenti apportati possono essere divisi in due categorie: quelli che necessitano della supervisione dell’essere umano e quelli che possono essere ottenuti in modo automatico da un algoritmo. Alcune di queste soluzioni verranno implementate e commentate confrontando le prestazioni del sistema prima e dopo le varie implementazioni. Alcune proposte verranno invece trattate solamente a livello teorico ma faranno parte degli sviluppi futuri. Infine si cercherà di trarre delle conclusioni, dimostrando come nel dominio del carrier billing sia possibile ottenere prestazioni soddisfacenti grazie ad un filtraggio supervisionato dei dati delle serie storiche, mentre i tentativi di filtraggio non supervisionato hanno fornito risultati contrastanti.

This master thesis work is focused on the development of a predictive EHC control function for a diesel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a EURO 7 compliant exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS), with the purpose of showing the advantages provided by the implementation of a predictive control strategy with respect to a rule-based one. A preliminary step will be the definition of an accurate powertrain and EATS physical model, starting from already existing and validated applications. Then, a rule-based control strategy managing the torque split between the electric motor (EM) and the internal combustion engine (ICE) will be developed and calibrated, with the main target of limiting tailpipe NOx emission by taking into account EM and ICE operating conditions together with EATS conversion efficiency. The information available from vehicle connectivity will be used to reconstruct the future driving scenario, also referred to as electronic horizon (eHorizon), and in particular to predict ICE first start. Based on this knowledge, an EATS pre-heating phase can be planned to avoid low pollutant conversion efficiencies, thus preventing high NOx emission due to engine cold start. Consequently, the final NOx emission over the complete driving cycle will be strongly reduced, allowing to comply with the limits potentially set by the incoming EURO 7 regulation. Moreover, given the same NOx emission target, the gain achieved thanks to the implementation of an EHC predictive control function will allow to consider a simplified EATS layout, thus reducing the related manufacturing cost. The promising results achieved in terms of NOx emission reduction show the effectiveness of the application of a predictive control strategy focused on EATS thermal management and highlight the potential of a complete integration and parallel development of involved vehicle physical systems, control software and connectivity data management.

The increasing interest in the decarbonization process led to a rapidly growing trend of electrification strategies in the automotive industry. In particular, OEMs are pushing towards the development and production of efficient electric vehicles. Moreover, research on electric motors and their control are exploding in popularity. The increase of computational power in embedded control hardware is allowing the development of new control algorithm, such as sensorless control strategy. Such control strategy allows the reduction of the number of sensors, which implies reduced costs and increased system reliability. The thesis objective is to realize a sensorless control for high-performance automotive motors. Several algorithms for rotor angle observers are implemented in the MATLAB and Simulink environment, with emphasis on the Kalman observer. One of the Kalman algorithms already available in the literature has been selected, implemented and benchmarked, with emphasis on its comparison with the Sliding Mode observer. Different models characterized by increasing levels of complexity are simulated. A simplified synchronous motor with ”constant parameters”, controlled by an ideal inverter is first analyzed; followed by a complete model defined by real motor maps, and controlled by a switching inverter. Finally, it was possible to test the developed algorithm on a real electric motor mounted on a test bench. A wide range of different electric motors have been simulated, which led to an exhaustive review of the sensorless control algorithm. The final results underline the capability of the Kalman observer to effectively control the motor on a real test bench.

In collaboration with G.D. SpA I attended an internship with the purpose of developing a filter for the position control of industrial machines during testing and maintenance operations. The filter elaborates a signal in position provided by an electonic handwheel, in order to enable the application to be controlled with a signal in velocity with arbitrarily dynamics chosen during the design phase. Limiting the dynamics of the filter provide a more stable and less demanding reference trajectory which reduce the vibrations and tracking errors of the motor controlled by it. It also prevents misusages of the handwheel from the technician which could end up in harmful interferences between the mechanical parts moved by the handwheel.

One of the major issues for power converters that are connected to the electric grid are the measurement of three phase Conduced Emissions (CE), which are regulated by international and regional standards. CE are composed of two components which are Common Mode (CM) noise and Differential Mode (DM) noise. To achieve compliance with these regulations the Equipment Under Test (EUT) includes filtering and other electromagnetic emission control strategies. The separation of differential mode and common mode noise in Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) analysis is a well-known procedure which is useful especially for the optimization of the EMI filter, to improve the CM or DM attenuation depending on which component of the conducted emissions is predominant, and for the analysis and the understanding of interference phenomena of switched mode power converters. However, separating both components is rarely done during measurements. Therefore, in this thesis an active device for the separation of the CM and DM EMI noise in three phase power electronic systems has been designed and experimentally analysed.
