US-South Africa Workshop: Intelligent Systems in Power Electronics, Pretoria, South Africa, July 1998

9720708哈伯特勒该奖项支持8名美国调查人员参加1998年7月在南非比勒陀利亚举行的美国-南非电力电子智能系统研讨会。美国组织者是佐治亚理工学院电气工程学院的托马斯·G·哈贝特勒教授和南非德班纳塔尔大学电气工程系的罗恩·哈雷教授。研讨会将在FEPPCON(IEEE未来电子功率处理和转换)会议期间和紧随其后举行，该会议本身紧随IEEE工业电子国际研讨会之后举行。美国-南非研讨会将重点讨论智能系统、算法及其实施的趋势、硬件考虑、人工智能(AI)在电力电子(PE)中的应用以及未来的应用。研讨会的目的是将美国和南非人工智能和PE领域的研究人员聚集在一起，绘制出这项不断发展的技术需要采取的重要步骤的地图。融入人工智能的智能系统允许人们将人类的知识和技能转移到计算机或其他类型的硬件上。人工智能还使硬件或计算机系统能够使用算法将自己训练到人类在决策的复杂性和速度方面无法达到的水平。人工智能研究人员传统上研究新算法，通常在数学以及算法开发和性能理论方面拥有专业知识。人工智能已成功地应用于模式识别、时间序列预测、系统辨识与控制等领域。所有这些功能在高级PE系统控制器的运行中都是至关重要的。PE研究人员传统上研究构成电力处理设备的设备、电路拓扑和控制算法。该奖项由国际项目部和电气与通信系统部联合支持。***

9720708 Habetler This award provides support for eight US investigators to participate in a US-South Africa Workshop on Intelligent Systems in Power Electronics, Pretoria, South Africa, July 1998. The US organizer is Professor Thomas G. Habetler of the School of Electrical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Professor Ron Harley, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Natal, Durban, South Africa. The workshop will be held during and immediately following the FEPPCON (IEEE Future of Electronic Power Processing and Conversion) conference, which itself follows the IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics. The US-South Africa workshop will focus on trends in intelligent systems, algorithms and their implementation, hardware considerations, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in power electronics (PE), and future applications. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together US and South African researchers in the AI and PE fields to plot out a map of the important steps to take in this evolving technology. Intelligent systems incorporating AI allows one to transfer human knowledge and skills to computers or other types of hardware. AI also enables a hardware or computer system to use algorithms to train itself to a level that a human cannot achieve in terms of complexity and speed of decision making. AI researchers traditionally study new algorithms and often have expertise in mathematics and the theory of algorithm development and performance. AI has been successfully applied to pattern recognition, time series prediction, and system identification and control. All of these functions are crucial in the operation of advanced PE system controllers. PE researchers traditionally study the devices, circuit topologies, and control algorithms that make up power processing equipment. The award is supported jointly by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Electrical and Communications Systems. ***
