U.S.-Poland Cooperative Research on Control Techniques for Environment-Friendly and Energy-Efficient Power Electronic Converters

这项美国-波兰合作研究奖是针对“环境友好和节能电力电子转换器的控制技术”。主要研究人员是内华达大学里诺分校的Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski和华沙理工大学控制与工业电子研究所的Marian P. Kazmierkowski博士。研究人员打算为环保和节能的电力电子转换器开发新的控制方案。该项目应产生两种类型的高性能电力电子转换器：脉冲宽度调制（PWM）整流器和PWM四脚逆变器，用于可调速交流驱动系统，不间断电源，干扰，能量损耗和转换器的成本，同时提高其可靠性。该项目的结果将增强当前的电力电子技术，从而为美国和波兰工业带来优势。增强型变流器实施后，将减少电力系统的电磁污染和环境污染。此外，两所大学的研究生教育质量也将从合作中受益。这项电气工程研究实现了将美国和波兰的顶尖专家聚集在一起的项目目标，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力

INT-9812320TrzynadlowskiThis U.S.-Poland Cooperative Research award is for "Control Techniques for Environment-Friendly and Energy-Efficient Power Electronic Converters." The principal investigators are Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski of the University of Nevada at Reno and Dr. Marian P. Kazmierkowski of the Institute of Control and Industrial Electronics of the Warsaw University of Technology. The researchers intend to develop novel control schemes for environment-friendly and energy-efficient power electronic converters. The project should yield two types of high-performance power electronic converters: a pulse-width modulated (PWM) rectifier and a PWM four-leg inverter to be used in adjustable-speed ac drive systems, uninterruptable power supplies, and interference, energy losses, and cost of the converters, while increasing their reliability. Results of the project will enhance the current power electronic technology, with the consequent advantages for U.S. and Polish industries. When implemented, the enhanced converters will reduce the electromagnetic and environmental pollution in power systems. Also, the quality of graduate education at both universities will benefit from the cooperation.This research in electrical engineering fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.***
