[EE Faculty Colloquium] Overview of Research on Pulse Width Modulation, Motor Control and Electrical Machines
September 29, 2023 @ 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM IST
Title: Overview of Research on Pulse Width Modulation, Motor Control and Electrical Machines at EE, IISc
Speaker: Prof. G. Narayanan, Professor, Electrical Engineering, IISc
Venue: MMCR, EE & Online Teams link
Time: 4pm, 29 September 2023
Abstract:
The talk will provide a brief overview of research on pulse width modulation (PWM), motor control and electrical machines, which the speaker has been a part of, in the department of electrical engineering over the past 2-3 decades. Research highlights will be presented on the following aspects:
- Space vector based PWM for motor drives and four-quadrant voltage-source converters
- Offline optimized PWM for induction motor drives
- High power converters for motor drives and active front-end converters
- Power-electronic control of induction motor and its variants
- Effect of inverter dead-time and its compensation
- Induction motor drive-based emulation of wind turbine
- Power electronic based emulation of electrical machines
Recent and on-going activities on the following with be discussed briefly:
- Permanent-magnet-free high-performance motors based on reluctance principle
- High-speed switched reluctance motors and contact-free electromagnetic bearings
- Multi-disciplinary initiatives involving multiple departments, multiple institutions / organizations across technical domains
