Advances in Control Technologies for Brushless Doubly-fed Induction Generators (PDF)

for Center for Energy Conversion and System (CECS) in HUST. The research topics of Prof. Xu mainly focus on electromagnetic design and control algorithm of electrical machines and drive systems (linear machines, permanent magnet machines, brushless doubly-fed induction machines (BDFIMs), high-speed machines, etc.), DC/DC converters, back to back converters, and so on. Till now, some products developed by Prof. Xu and his group have successfully found wide practical applications, such as linear induction machine for subway or light railway, arc (linear) induction machine for direct-driven forge press, permanent magnet synchronous machine for electrical vehicle, brushless doubly-fed induction machine for electrical-driven ship, etc. Prof. Xu is IET Fellow (Institution of Engineering and Technology), IEEE Senior Member (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and also Senior Members for China Electrotechnical Society (CES), and China Power Supply Society (CPSS), since 2018, 2013, 2014, and 2017, respectively. Since 2016, Prof. Xu has served as Editors or Associate Editors for more than ten international or national leading journals, including IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics (IEEE TIE, IF 7.5), IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (IEEE TVT, IF 5.4), etc. Till now, Prof. Xu has published more than 150 high-quality SCI-indexed International journal papers (about 130 published in IEEE Transactions-Series Journals) and held over 140 granted/pending invention patents, and has one monograph titled by Advanced Control Technologies for Brushless Doubly-Fed Induction Machine (China Machine Press, May 2020), and two edited books titled by Advances in Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants (Springer Press, June 2016) and Advanced Linear Induction Machine and Systems (Springer Press, August 2019), respectively. As the first chief investigator (CI), he has been awarded more than 30 projects/fellowships. For his continuous contribution in the field of linear machine and model predictive control, Prof. Xu has been elected to serve as General Chair for the 13th International Symposium on Linear Drives for Industry Applications (LDIA 2021), and IEEE International Conference on Predictive Control of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (PRECEDE 2023), in Wuhan, China, respectively.
