Applied Sciences Webinar | Advances in Multiphase Electric Drives and Control, 23 October 2024
The purpose of this online seminar is to provide a mini forum to promote research advances in electric drives and power conversion as agents for improving the efficiency and reliability of the systems in which they are included. This webinar focuses on the regulation of multiphase electric drives.
Addressing the global energy situation requires the application of more competitive technological solutions in both the production and consumption of energy. In this context, green energy generation, electric mobility and more electric industrial processes are considered exciting solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and optimize energy consumption. All of these solutions inherently include electric drives and have thus caught the attention of researchers involved in the development of electric vehicles, energy conversion systems and high-performance industrial motor applications. These fields of work focus on enhancing the performance of electric drives from different approaches, ranging from the use of new semiconductor technology to the introduction of new control strategies and from the improved design of electrical machines to new VSC topologies. Multiphase electric drives are a compelling choice for variable-speed industrial applications with more demanding requirements as they offer enhanced fault tolerance and a reduced per-phase current rating without increasing the rated voltage; their control has led to the creation of an extensive field of research. For this reason, this webinar and the related Special Issue aim to provide insight into the state of the art and advances pertaining to electric drives and multiphase electric drives, along with their regulation schemes and other progresses in power conversion. Researchers working on topics related to this Special Issue may wish to submit papers. There will be five speakers attending this online webinar: Prof. Cruz, Dr. Gonçalves, Prof. Rodas, Prof. Ayala and Prof. Duran. They are senior researchers and have worked on multiphase electric drive-related studies.
