Development of power apparatus and advanced motor drive systems

全球变暖和气候变化的主要原因之一是与火力发电相关的绿色家用气体的生产。超过60%的发电量被电机消耗。多年来，申请人一直在开发高效内置永磁（IPM）电机技术，该技术可以帮助对抗全球变暖。在过去的5年资助期内，申请人专注于解决标准线启动IPM电机的基本设计问题。这导致了4名博士和5名工程硕士毕业生，5名博士后研究员，33篇期刊和45篇会议论文，2项专利，3个字母组合。这些发表的结果引起了相当大的工业兴趣和国际合作。由于他的努力，申请人获得了四项主要的IEEE奖，这表明他的工作被同行和行业认为非常重要。然而，对速度的快速和精确控制的需求引领着先进的新型电动机驱动系统的发展。因此，未来5年的研究目标是：（a）在超高速下具有高性能的内置永磁（IPM）电机的开发，（B）使用智能控制器设计和制造高速无轴承电机驱动器，（c）利用新的小波调制技术测试创新的功率逆变器新技术。这些目标将在软件和硬件开发中实现。将建造和测试实验室原型。这些将在2008-2013年4名本科生、5名工程硕士、4名博士生和5名博士后研究员的帮助下实现。科学方法将涉及详细分析和开发无轴承电机和相关电力电子设备（包括控制接口）的系统模型。高性能和高效的运动控制技术将主导包括加拿大在内的全球特定应用市场。未来5年，加拿大将重点研究先进电机和电力电子系统，这对加拿大的经济开发具有重要意义。为实现拟议研究的目标，要求每年提供7万美元的五年赠款。

One of the major causes of global warming and climate change is the production of green house gas associated with thermal power generation. Over 60% of generated electric power is consumed by motors. For many years, the applicant has been developing high efficiency interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor technology, which could help in the fight to counteract global warming. Over the previous 5-year grant period, the applicant focused on solving the basic design issues of standard line start IPM motors. This resulted in 4 PhD and 5 M.Eng graduates, 5 post-doctoral fellows, 33 Journal and 45 conference papers, 2 patents, 3 monograms. These published results have aroused considerable industrial interests and international collaborations. For his efforts, the applicant has received four major IEEE Awards, which indicates that his work is considered very significant by his peers and by industry. However, the demand of fast and precision control of speed is spearheading the development of advanced new electric motor drive systems. Thus, the objectives of the proposed research for the coming 5 years are: a) Development of interior permanent magnet (IPM) motors having high performances at super speeds, (b) Design and build high speed bearingless motor drive using intelligent controllers, c) Test innovative new technology for power inverters utilizing new wavelet modulation techniques. These objectives will be achieved in both software and hardware developments. Laboratory prototypes will be built and tested. These will be realized with the help of 4 undergraduate, 5 M.Eng and 4 PhD students and 5 post doctoral fellows in 2008-2013. The scientific approaches will involve detailed analysis and development of system models of the bearingless motors and associated power electronics including control interfaces. High performance and efficient motion control technology will dominate the specific applications market worldwide including Canada. The topics of the proposed research on advanced electric machines and power electronics system in the next 5 years are significant for economic exploitations in Canada. A five-year grant of $70,000 per year is requested to achieve the objectives of the propsed research.
