An improved boost-packed E-cell-based nine-level (9L) buck power factor correction (PFC) (BPFC) rectifier is proposed in this article. The multilevel operation of the proposed 9L-BPFC rectifier lessens harmonic content in the supply current and reduces voltage stress on the power devices. In addition, it can supply single/multiple dc loads at the same time. The series–parallel switching of the capacitors autobalances its voltages for possible load configurations. Hence, it reduces the need for complicated control to balance capacitor voltages and resolve the issue of rectifier instability during dynamic conditions. Moreover, it supports open-circuit fault tolerant operation for middle switches and maintains the same output power under fault conditions as in healthy mode. The operating principle, modulation strategy, device ratings, and capacitor sizing of the proposed rectifier are presented in this article. Finally, the performance of the proposed 9L buck PFC (9L-BPFC) rectifier is examined and verified using experimental results. The results revealed an optimal efficiency of 97.02%, a total harmonic distortion of 2.64%, and a power factor of 0.9978.

In this article, a design method of equal inner and outer flux applicable to radial flux dual-rotor permanent magnet synchronous machine (RFDR-PMSM) with a modular stator is proposed. Based on this design method, the power equation of the RFDR-PMSM with the modular stator is derived, which reveals the theoretical relationship between the main sizes and the power. In order to simplify the winding process of the modular stator, a fractional-slot concentrated winding is selected for RFDR-PMSM with the modular stator. Then, a 24-slots and 20-poles RFDR-PMSM with a modular stator is designed using the proposed design methodology. Through finite element analysis (FEA), it is found that the design RFDR-PMSM with the modular stator has higher power density and efficiency compared with the traditional RFDR-PMSM with a stator yoke. Moreover, a modular stator structure with a pin connection is proposed to solve the problem that the stator loses effective support after removing the stator yoke. Finally, a prototype of the RFDR-PMSM with the modular stator is manufactured. The back electromotive force (EMF), current-torque curve, and the efficiency map up to 10 kW of the RFDR-PMSM with the modular stator are tested, and the correctness of the finite element model and theoretical design is verified by comparing the experimental results with the FEA results.
