General
The tutorial is being organized by the Delhi Chapter of Power Engineering and Industry applications Societies of IEEE, IEEE Delhi Section and Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi. The main resource person for the tutorial will be Prof. Bimal K. Bose, who is a Fellow of IEEE and a Distinguished Lecturer of Industrial Electronics Society of IEEE. He had won several awards including prestigious IEEE Lamme Medal. He is an eminent specialist and has made significant contribution to the advancement of power electronics and electrical machine drives. In the tutorial, remaining lectures will be covered by the faculty drawn from the Electrical Engineering Department of IIT Delhi.
Contents
Power electronics and variable frequency drives technology have gone through intense evolution during the last two to three decades and it is now finding widespread applications in industrial, commercial, residential, military, utility and aerospace environments. The applications include dc and ac power supplies, lighting and welding control, electro-chemical processes, active filtering and static VAR compensation, HVDC system, photo-voltaic and fuel-cell power conversion, VSCF system, induction heating, wind generation system, pump and fan drives, electric vehicle and subway transportation, etc. Besides general industrial applications, there is realization of another important role of power electronics since the eighties, i.e., energy conservation and environmental pollution control. In the global industrial automation, its impact in the 21st century is inevitable. The dynamic evolution of power electronics and variable frequency drives has been possible by many innovations in power semi-conductor devices, power conversion circuits, microprocessors and ASIC's, personal computers, advanced simulation and CAD tools, and advancement of control and estimation techniques. Very recently, artificial intelligence techniques, such as expert system, fuzzy logic, neural network and genetic algorithm are further extending the frontier of the technology. The complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the subject and fast evolution of the component disciplines are creating challenge to power electronic engineers.
The presentations will attempt to give a brief but comprehensive review of the recent technology that will include power devices, converters, drives and high performance control and estimation techniques. Wherever it is possible, the future trend of the technology will be discussed. In the power devices, IGBT and recently introduced IGCT and MCT devices will be covered. The converter technology with particular emphasis to emerging soft-switching technology will be reviewed. Different types of drives and advanced drive controls, such as vector control, DTC control, sensor-less control, etc. will be covered. Several examples of recent advanced installations in Europe, Japan and USA will be given. Finally, attempt will be made to give a perspective of the technology in the 21st century.
