Strategic Technology Group announces workshop on Simulation, Design and Analysis of Brushless Permanent Magnet Motors and BLDC Systems
Strategic Technology Group LLC (STG) based in the metro DC area has announced a workshop on Simulation, Design and Analysis of Brushless Permanent Magnet Motors and Motor Drive Systems. The workshop will be held on December 8 and 9 in Le Meridien Hotel, Pune. The workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced level of learning.
- (1888PressRelease) November 08, 2011 - About the Workshop: The design process of a brushless permanent magnet motor system is inherently iterative as the tug of war erupts between motor, power electronics, software, mechanical and manufacturing engineers. A final product must satisfy all engineers without failing to meet performance and cost targets. This workshop covers a number of practical aspects in the design of brushless permanent magnet motor systems.
In the motor design, the workshop will include basic design considerations for various rotor and stator types for brushless permanent magnet motors, slot design, magnet size, number of poles, operating temperature, skew, selection of materials, winding layout etc. The workshop will cover waveform and performance evaluation, speed/torque curve generation, EMF, phase currents, efficiency estimates, loss calculations, comparisons of various designs etc. We will also discuss analytical and, finite element methods (FEA) , thermal analysis, example simulations (using PSpice and/or Simulink), mechanical and manufacturing design considerations.
Under Simulation, Algorithm and Software Engineering, the workshop will cover simulation, algorithm and software development methodology and tools for brushless permanent magnet motor systems. Under algorithm development, we will cover the principles of FOC (field oriented control, or vector control), followed by various advanced implementation techniques for high performance and energy efficiency including predictive current control, decoupling control, space vector modulation, field weakening operation, as well as modeling and simulation using PSpice. This section will also cover control system analysis and compensation; open loop transfer function, stability criteria, Type 1, 2 and 3 Amplifiers, and K factor technique for stability analysis if time permits.
Under Power Stage Design, the workshop will focus on power stage design and achieving the desired performance from PM machines when integrated with an Inverter. This section will cover selection of power devices, PCB layout, safety, EMI/EMC, environmental and reliability considerations, thermal analysis, mechanical and manufacturing considerations.
STG has routinely held workshops in the field of electrical machines and power electronics in the US and abroad with tremendous success. Past participants have included well known names such as Ansys Inc, Emerson Technology Center, Semikron, Honeywell, Texas Instruments, Indian Institute of Technology etc. The attendees have traditionally provided a very strong positive feedback for these workshops.
Chief product architect, Mr. Duraikkannan of Hasoft Power Electronics attended one of the workshops and stated "The workshop conducted by Strategic Technology Group dealt with topics of high practical importance. The speakers are extremely competent. Rakesh is a consummate speaker and teacher and his presentations were very well received with active participation from the audience. The design and simulation methods are highly useful for practicing Power Electronics design and development Engineers. Rakesh presents great correlation between practice and theory. I highly recommend these workshops."
The cost of the workshop is Rs. 13,995 per person before Nov 15. After November 15, the cost increases to Rs. 16,995 per person. Discounts are available for students, academic institutions and multiple registrations.
This workshop will be presented by Rakesh Dhawan. He is a twenty two years veteran of motors and motor drive Industry. He has developed critical understanding and published on a wide range of motors, motor drives, high frequency electromagnetic components, electric vehicles and switch mode power systems. He has co-authored over 25 publications in various refereed journals and conference proceedings and is an inventor on 7 issued or pending US patents. He has served on the Technical committee of the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC). He received the B. Tech (Electrical Engineering) degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India. He received his MS degrees from University of Minnesota under the tutelage of Power Electronics pioneer Prof. Ned Mohan.
He received his MBA from Old Dominion University. He has been directly responsible for over twenty five successful product launches in his career many of them involving brushless permanent magnet motor systems. Rakesh has conducted several workshops in the recent past in the field of motors and motor drives. His interests include brushless permanent magnet motor systems, light electric vehicles, electric bicycles, switch mode power supplies, solar inverters, simulation, statistics, project management and new and ultra-fast product development methodologies.
Rakesh is a high energy individual with a difference; he combines technology excellence, leadership and professional management skills with his inborn entrepreneurial instincts. Rakesh is a member of IEEE and the Entrepreneur's Organization (Washington-DC Chapter) and is very keen on nurturing innovation and entrepreneurial talent in the field of technology development and management.
