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%的发电量由电动机消耗。多年来，申请人一直在开发高效内置永磁（IPM）电机技术。高效率减少了电能消耗，这有助于通过减少气体排放来对抗全球变暖。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。这导致了大量捐款。发表的研究成果引起了相当大的工业兴趣和国际合作。申请人已经获得了五个主要的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正引领着先进的新型电动机驱动系统的设计和开发。因此，未来5年的拟议研究目标是：（a）开发具有高效性能的电动汽车和混合动力汽车的内置永磁（IPM）牵引电机驱动器，（B）设计和构建使用智能控制器的节能电机驱动器，（c）设计和测试创新的新技术，利用新的小波调制技术的功率逆变器。这些目标将在软件和硬件开发中实现。将建造和测试三个实验室原型。这些将在8名本科生、4名硕士生、9名博士生和5名博士后研究员的帮助下实现。科学方法将涉及系统模型和相关电力电子和控制接口的详细分析、设计和开发。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。研究先进电机和电力电子系统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67 000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 electric motors. For many years, the applicant has been developing high efficiency interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor technology. High efficiency reduces consumption of electric energy which helps in the fight to counteract global warming by reducing gas emission. Over the previous 5-year grant period, the applicant focused on solving the basic design issues of standard line start IPM motors. This has resulted in significant contributions. The published research results have aroused considerable industrial interests and international collaborations. The applicant has received five 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 design and development of advanced new electric motor drive systems. Thus, the objectives of the proposed research for the coming 5-year period are: a) Development of interior permanent magnet (IPM) traction motor drives for electric and hybrid electric vehicles having highly efficient performances, (b) Design and build energy efficient motor drives using intelligent controllers, c) Design and test innovative new technology for power inverters utilizing new wavelet modulation techniques. These objectives will be achieved in both software and hardware developments. Three Laboratory prototypes will be built and tested. These will be realized with the help of 8 undergraduate, 4 Masters and 9 PhD students and 5 post doctoral fellows. The scientific approaches will involve detailed analysis, design and development of system models and associated power electronics and 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 are significant for economic exploitation in Canada. A five-year grant of $67,000 per year is requested to achieve the objectives of the proposed research.
