Information Session

The IEEE Student Chapter will be hosting an information session for undergraduates interested in the Power and Energy program. Many graduate students with different academic and industrial experience will be there to answer questions about power projects, classes, and other opportunities in the field. Please fill out the form, accessed via the link below, so we can prepare your nametag and estimate how much pizza to order. We hope to see you there. The event will take place Monday, January 29th, 2007, at 6 pm in 365 Everitt Lab (Tykociner Conference Room). We hope to see you there.

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF DRIVES FOR INDUCTION MOTORS

Monday, March 30, 2009, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m., Room 50 Everitt Lab ------------ Abstract: Motor control will be reviewed and then the presentation will focus on the comparison between two major types of induction motor drives: direct torque control (DTC) and indirect field oriented control (IFOC). The presentation will give an introduction to both DTC and IFOC and then explore the similarities and differences between the two. It will be shown that the drives themselves can be separated from their switching schemes. A parameter sensitivity analysis of the two drives will be given along with simulation results using MATLAB- Simulink and some experimental results using our in-house modular inverter that verifies the theory.
