Currently, it is estimated that 30% of electricity generated globally is used to drive electric motors in industrial applications. Looking at the industrial electric motors market, although this is dominated by electric motors which are implemented in low voltage applications, around 10% of this market is dedicated to the production of electric motors for medium voltage applications such as for rolling mills, water treatment plants, paper and pulp industry and other high-power applications.The research on embedded motor drives for low power industrial application developed at the University of Nottingham in the past 12 years has proven that this technology can improve and favour the uptake of variable speed drives which would lead to enormous energy savings globally.This research will investigating solutions to the scalability and feasibility of high power EMD architectures looking at low voltage and higher current ranges but also the more challenging, medium voltage and lower current range. Medium voltage embedded motor drives topologies it's the focus in this research for industrial pumps and fans for enhanced energy savings and CO2 reductions in industrial processes. This will allow the creation of higher power embedded motor drives which currently do not exist in the market. Although a much smaller segment of electric motors market, investigating and developing technological solutions for medium voltage industrial drives based on the extensive experience and benefits proven with the ongoing research on embedded motor drives at the University of Nottingham will further the development of solutions which can make a real difference in reducing global energy consumption.

目前，据估计，全球发电量的30%用于驱动工业应用中的电机。纵观工业电机市场，尽管这一市场主要是用于低压应用的电机，但约10%的市场专门用于生产用于轧钢厂、水处理厂、在过去的12年里，诺丁汉大学针对低功率工业应用开发的嵌入式电机驱动器的研究已经证明，这种技术可以改进和有利于采用变速驱动器，从而在全球范围内带来巨大的节能。本研究将探索解决方案，以解决高功率EMD架构的可扩展性和可行性，着眼于低电压和高电流范围，以及更具挑战性的中压和低电流范围。中压嵌入式电机驱动拓扑这是本研究的重点，用于工业泵和风扇，以增强工业过程中的节能和减少二氧化碳排放。这将允许创造出目前市场上还不存在的更高功率的嵌入式电机驱动器。尽管电机市场的份额要小得多，但基于诺丁汉大学正在进行的嵌入式电机驱动器研究证明的广泛经验和好处，研究和开发中压工业驱动器的技术解决方案将进一步推动解决方案的开发，从而在降低全球能源消耗方面发挥真正的作用。
