In this work design rules for a novel brushless excitation system for externally excited synchronous machines are discussed. The concept replaces slip rings with a fullbridge active rectifier and a controller mounted on the rotor. An AC signal induced from the stator is used to charge the rotor DC link. The DC current for the rotor excitation is provided from this DC link source. Finite element analysis of an existing machine is used to analyze the practicability of the excitation system.
A novel brushless excitation concept for synchronous machines with a rotating power converter is proposed in this paper. The concept does not need an auxiliary winding or any other modification to the machine structure apart from an inverter with a DC link capacitor and a controller on the rotor. The power required for the rotor excitation is provided by injecting harmonics into the stator winding. Thus, a voltage in the field coil is induced. The rotor inverter is controlled such that the alternating current charges the DC link capacitor. At the same time the inverter supplies the DC field current to the field coil. The excitation concept is first developed in theory, then presented using an analytical model and FEA, and lastly investigated with a prelimininary experimental setup.
Established companies are facing two transformations involving digital technologies: becoming digitized and becoming digital. The platforms enabling these transformations are fundamentally different in their purpose, target state, success metrics — and especially, in the key responsibilities of senior leaders. Because of these differences, companies will need to apply new rules new roles, processes, metrics, and norms — to the new digital platform. To develop new rules leaders should (1) separate the teams working on the digital platform, (2) allow digital platform leaders to experiment with new rules, and (3) identify new leaders and coach them to succeed with new rules. Given the time it takes to establish new rules, companies need to start breaking old rules now.
Digital technologies are moving into physical products. Smart cars, connected lightbulbs and data-generating tennis rackets are examples of previously “pure” physical products that turned into “digitized products”. Digitizing products offers many use cases for consumers that will hopefully persuade them to buy these products. Yet, as revenues from selling digitized products will remain small in the near future, digitized product manufacturers have to look for other sources of benefits. Producer-side use cases describe how manufacturers can benefit internally from the digitized products they produce. Our article identifies three categories of such use cases: product-, service-, and process-related ones.
Problem: In der Praxis kann eine gewisse „Balanced Scorecard (BSC)-Müdigkeit“ beobachtet werden. Damit fehlt es an alternativen Instrumenten, mit denen die Unternehmensstrategie operationalisiert werden kann.
Ziel: Auf der Suche nach Alternativen wird das Hoshin Kanri (HK) diskutiert. Hat HK das Potenzial, die BSC abzulösen? Worin unterscheidet sich Hoshin Kanri (HK) von der BSC und wo sind die Gemeinsamkeiten? Methode: Vergleich wesentlicher Grundzüge von BSC und HK.

Novel design for a coreless printed circuit board transformer realizing high bandwidth and coupling
(2019)
Rogowski coils offer galvanic isolation and can measure alternating currents with a high bandwidth. Coreless printed circuit board (PCB) transformers have been used as an alternative to limit the additional stray inductance if a Rogowski coil can not be attached to the circuit. A new PCB transformer layout is proposed to reduce cost, decrease additional stray inductance, increase the bandwidth of current measurements and simplify the integration into existing designs.
Improved inductive feed-forward for fast turn-on of power semiconductors during hard switching
(2019)
A transformer is used to increase the gate voltage during turn-on, thus reducing the necessary bias voltage of the gate driver. Counteracting the voltage dependency of the gate capacitance of high-voltage power devices, faster transitions are possible. The additional transformer only slighly increases the over-voltage during turn-off.
In this paper, an approach is introduced how reinforcement learning can be used to achieve interoperability between heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) components. More specifically, we model an HTTP REST service as a Markov Decision Process and adapt Q-Learning to the properties of REST so that an agent in the role of an HTTP REST client can learn the semantics of the service and, especially an optimal sequence of service calls to achieve an application specific goal. With our approach, we want to open up and facilitate a discussion in the community, as we see the key for achieving interoperability in IoT by the utilization of artificial intelligence techniques.
