“…There are three main approaches utilized to control the relative permeability of magnetic cores: 1) current-controlled approach, and it is the most popular one that utilizes an external DC bias current to adjust the relative permeability of the magnetic core; 2) liquid-controlled approach, and it is the less popular approach that employs MEMS technology in conjunction with liquid fluids to alter the relative permeability of the medium, which represents the magnetic core in that case; 3) voltage-controlled approach, still-evolving technology that employs an external DC bias voltage to adjust the relative permeability of the magnetic core. The first technique is DC current bias, also known as actively current-controlled variable inductors, and is the most frequently utilized in power electronic converters, as discussed in [16], [20], [21], [22], [70], [71] , [72], [73], [74], [75], [76], [77] and [78]. While, the second and third approaches are less popular in power electronic applications.…”
