High Efficient and Reliable Power Converters with Low Electromagnetic Interference Based on an Intelligent Distributed Control System in Train Systems

澳大利亚的旧火车系统中有很大一部分都有旧设备，这降低了系统的效率和可靠性，它们可以被具有最小损耗和电磁干扰的高功率智能转换器所取代。该项目旨在通过智能分布式控制系统提高列车系统的效率，减少燃料消耗和温室气体排放。研究结果可应用于澳大利亚的其他交通系统。另一个好处是培养一名在使用智能电源转换器以提高所有类型运输系统效率方面具有丰富经验的博士毕业生。

A large percentage of the old train systems in Australia have old equipment which decreases the efficiency and reliability of the system and they can be replaced by high power smart converters with minimum losses and electromagnetic interference. This project aims to improve the efficiency of train systems by intelligent distributed control systems which reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The outcomes can be applied to other transport systems in Australia. Another benefit is the production of a PhD graduand with significant experience in the use of smart power converters to improve efficiency of all types of transport systems.
