Xiao Yang, Liangcai Shu, Dongsheng Yang*
TL;DR: To model 3D magnetics of transformers with limited data, the HPENN framework hierarchically integrates 2D/3D FEM and analytical models. By using abundant 2D data for fringe effects and minor 3D data for corner corrections, it reduces simulation costs by 90% while maintaining 1% average error.
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics (TPEL)
Xiao Yang, Yu Xiao*, Tianchen Li, Dongsheng Yang*
TL;DR: To manage press-pack IGCT thermal fields under uneven pressure, the DiGCT framework integrates analytical models and side-measurements into a conditional diffusion model. It achieves high-precision monitoring through constrained denoising, enabling gradient-based optimization of system thermal profiles.
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (TII)

TL;DR: To realize simultaneous power and data transfer (SPDT) in insulators, a domino-resonator WPT system is proposed using FSK in dual-resonance circuits. By compensating for cross-coupling to stabilize output voltage, the system achieves high transfer efficiency and low voltage fluctuation within tight space constraints.

TL;DR: A novel cost-effective implementation of independent data and power transmission channels is proposed. Based on the typical WPT systems structure, the capacitance between metal shield plates provides naturally an independent capacitive channel for data transmission.
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs (TCAS-Ⅱ)
Yong Li*, Xiao Yang, Wenjun Sun, Jiefeng Hu, Zhengyou He
TL;DR: A novel simultaneous power, and data transfer (SPDT) technology based on coil multiplexing is proposed in this letter. Benefiting from the magnetic field characteristics of the bipolar coil structure, the power and data can be injected into multiplexed coils with different flow directions, leading to opposite induced voltage polarities in each coupling coil.
