2013 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition® • 1

Dear friends and colleagues,

Welcome to Colorful Denver, Colorado and the Fifth Annual IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exhibition (ECCE 2013). The spectacular backdrop of the majestic Rockies combining with the pioneering ethic of the Colorado Front Range gives ECCE 2013 an unmatched energy and excitement, as the combina-tion of the Wild West mindset mixing with the innovative spirit of the energy conversion community serves to uniquely defi ne the ethos of this edition of the ECCE conference, an ethos that is exemplifi ed by the number of renewable industry players that are located in this area, such entities as NREL, Molycorp, Ves-tas, SMA America, Unique Mobility, Xcel Energy, REpower USA, RES-Americas, Boulder Wind Power, Siemens Energy, Clipper Wind Power, One Globe Renewables, Sky Fuel, to name a few.

In addition, we are fortunate in hosting an auspicious landmark celebration: the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Power Electronics Society, one of the co-sponsor societies of the ECCE. Please keep an eye out for the special celebration of this event.

ECCE is also very happy to welcome SMMA — The Motor & Motion Association as an Association Partner. SMMA is the manufacturing trade association for the electric motor and motion control industries, consisting of more than 120 member companies include manufacturers, suppliers, users, consul-tants and universities. Many of you will recognize the SMMA from their outstanding work in their Motor and Motion College, the Permanent Magnet Division, and the Electric Motor Educa-tion and Research Foundation (EMERF). We believe that ECCE and SMMA can do great things together and we are extremely excited about the beginning of our partnership.

This year’s conference serves to present energy conversion solutions to the community, these solutions come in the form of twelve practical and ambitious tutorials, distributed evenly amongst all the technical tracks covered by ECCE; it comes in the form of four stellar keynote speakers, each bring forth their fecund imagination and wide ranging perspectives; it comes in the form of a lively and exciting exhibition program, including the popular Industrial Seminars, student project presentations focused on the area of Emerging Technologies, a Student-In-dustry dinner to facilitate the passing on of knowledge and pas-sion to the future engineers, and interspersed throughout the technical program: Special Topics sessions as well as Vendor and Products sessions to serve the immediate needs of the practicing engineer with the state of the art solutions; it comes in the form of an invigorated and energetic new format to a great traditional session: the Town Hall Meeting, replacing the Rap Session; and fi nally, it comes in the form of the expanded

technical program, refl ecting the talents and genius of our tech-nical community: the oral and poster sessions.

As always, the technical sessions coalesce around two major thematic areas: those topics that are focused on broad Energy Conversion System solutions and those topics that are more specifi cally focused on the Components and Subsystems solu-tions. There are smart grids, appliances, and buildings sessions alongside power semiconductor devices sessions, renewable energy systems sessions alongside electric machine sessions, transportation application sessions alongside electric motor drive sessions, telecommunication system sessions alongside power converter sessions, energy harvesting sessions along-side component and sub-component packing sessions. Suffi ce it to say that the conference hall will be abuzz with the sounds of debates, discussions, and discourses.

We have taken advantage of the opportunity that our geo-graphical location has provided and have planned two exciting tours that are unique to this area. One is to the world renowned National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) National Wind Technology Center while the second planned tour is to SMA America PV Inverter manufacturing facility. Both tours should be outstanding.

As you can see, the ECCE 2013 Dream Team is proud of this pro-gram and we hope that it meets your expectations and serves your needs.

My deepest gratitude to the ECCE 2013 organizing committee, the vice chairs and topic chairs of the technical programs com-mittee and the members of the exhibits committee for the hard work and long hours that they have put in voluntarily. Thanks are also due to the offi cers of the two sponsoring societies, PELS and IAS, for their steadfast support of the conference. A very enthusiastic thank you to the Courtesy Associates team who has supported ECCE since its inception, their assistance has been invaluable.

Finally, I would like to express our gratitude to our sponsors: GE Global Research, Nexteer Automotive, OPAL-RT, Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, Ingersoll Rand, Powerex Inc., and our many other partners and exhibitors. Our mission would be impossible without your continued support.

Dear ECCE Energy Conversion Congress Attendees:

On behalf of VISIT DENVER and our more than 1,200 business members, I’d like to welcome you to the Mile High City! You couldn’t have picked a more exciting time to visit. Denver is booming with new museums, restaurants, brewpubs and attractions. Walk along our mile-long 16th Street Mall, which is lined with 42 outdoor cafes. The electric buses on the Mall are free – hop on and hop off, they make everything easy to reach.

From the Denver Art Museum (designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind) to our new His-tory Colorado Center, you’ll fi nd Denver is fi lled with attractions to explore. We have the nation’s second largest performing arts center and six sports stadiums, for a record seven professional sports teams. Our B-cycle bike sharing program has more than 800 bikes available at 83 stations across the city, part of an 850-mile network of off-street bike trails.

And of course, we have outstanding shopping and dining opportunities, exciting nightlife and live music – and we brew more beer than any other city in America! After the meeting, the beauty, splendor and adventure of the Colorado Rocky Mountains are only minutes away. We hope you have a safe and productive stay in our city, and come back soon!

Richard W. ScharfPresident & CEO

Creative Digressions

Sunday through ThursdayRoom: 204

Creative Digressions is what we call a space reserved for those conference attendees who need to go someplace to think, to discuss, to organize their minds around the hubbub of activi-ties around them. ECCE 2013 is packed with activities that fully engage all the mental capacities of the participants, the din of activity and the excitement of absorbing and understanding new information and knowledge can sometimes be overwhelm-ing. Think of Creative Digressions as an oasis within the confer-ence. The room has been set aside with large tables set up for relaxed conversations rather than for presentation purposes; note pads, easels and white boards are provided in place of cocktail napkins and backs of envelopes to facilitate one-on-one discussions, idea generation sessions, business meetings, or social interactions. Coffee and tea, the lifeblood of engineer-ing, will be provided to fuel the physical mind so that the innova-tive process can continue apace.


Accessibility for Registrants with Disabilities

The meeting staff will work with attendees to provide reason-able accommodations for those who require special needs. To request assistance on-site, please check in at the Registration Desk.

Business Center

The Convention Center has a Business Center located off Lobby A— near the front door of 14th and California. The Business cen-ter will be accessible to all attendees. There is a log-on charge and each attendee is charged for usage by the minute.

Cameras and Recording Devices

The use of cameras and/or recorders is strictly prohibited dur-ing the oral and poster sessions. Limited use is allowed for Exhibitors in their own booth area. Personal photography is al-lowed at social functions.

Special Events

Newcomers Session (A Guide to ECCE 2013)

Sunday, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pmRoom: 210/212

This is a new part of the program, consisting of a short ses-sion intended to act as a guide for those who are new to ECCE. The content of this session, however, contains information that should be of interest to anyone who wishes to organize their conference calendar in a meaningful way or to gain a behind-the-curtains feel for the content and organization of the confer-ence. Many members of the organizing committee will describe the program elements that they were responsible for. Vice chairs of the Technical Programs Committee will briefl y discuss the trends and topics that they felt dominated the submissions in various tracks, as well as the submissions to the Special Ses-

Plenary Session32 • 2013 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition®

Townhall Meetings

Tuesday, September 17 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

There will be two Townhall meetings (formerly Rap Sessions) this year at ECCE for attendees to engage in debate concerning critical issues in the state of the art and emerging technologies. These sessions will be different in structure from the previous “Rap Sessions” in that the sessions are designed to be more interactive than just another oral session with formalized pre-sentations. The format is much more informal in order to put the attendees at ease so that open discussion and engage-ment with expert panelists fl ourishes. The meetings will be led by a moderator in order to keep the meandering digressions to a minimum, yet also to stimulate and promote innovative tan-gents. Participants are strongly encouraged to contribute to the debate, discussion, and discourse surrounding the selected topics. We are hoping for honest debate about the topics in a passionate and intelligent way.

The two sessions this year will focus on renewable energy and converter design technologies.

Townhall: Renewable Energy Technologies

Room: 110/112

Renewable energy is vital for society to become independent from fossil fuels and many technologies have been proposed and developed to meet this desire. However there are chal-lenges and uncertainties to be overcome. This meeting will fo-cus on the latest technologies, policies and future of renewable energy.

ModeratorSudipta Chakraborty, NREL, USA

Tutorials

Sunday, September 15 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

Morning Sessions

T1-1 Stability of Power Conversion Systems

Room: 103/105

Instructors: Pierre Magne, Babak Nahid-Mobarakeh, Serge Pierfederici, University of Lorraine, France

On-board energy management in small optimized grids is an important issue in the next generation of electrified transportation systems. On one hand, design engineers are looking for minimizing the size and the weight of power systems and the passive components (inductors and capacitors) are a part of the first elements that should be reduced. On the other hand, it is known that unstable oscillations on the grid may appear under overload conditions when small capacitances are used. This tutorial focuses at first on the stability analysis of interconnected power converters in a microgrid. Linear and nonlinear tools will be presented and applied to a DC microgrid developed for an aeronautic application. This practical example allows attendees to derive the relationship between the stability (small and large signal) and the passive components of the system. Then, the same microgrid will be stabilized using passive and active stabilizers. Attendees will design first a passive stabilizer, then an active one. Discussions on how each stabilizer improves the stability margins of the system will conclude the tutorial.

T1-2 Advanced Power Semiconductors: Art of Control, From Theory to Practice

Room: 104/106

Instructor: Dr. Petar J. Grbovic, HUAWEI Technologies Dusseldorf GmbH, Germany

The gate driver is a key element that links power semiconductor switches and control system of a power converter. Main functions of a gate driver are: 1) to control state of the power semiconductor switch, 2) to optimize transition from one state to another (conducting to blocking and blocking to conducting state), and 3) to protect the semiconductor switch and entire converter in a case of an unexpected event. In this tutorial we will learn what “the art of control of advanced semiconductor switches” is. We will learn how an advanced semiconductor switch has to be driven in order to achieve maximum performance of the device and how the device as well as entire power converter can be protected. This tutorial is aimed at power electronics engineers who want to improve their knowledge and understanding of art of driving advanced power semiconductor switches and their application in power conversion, nowadays as well as in the near future. Also, the tutorial can be recommended as literature for graduate and PhD students.

T1-3 Model Predictive Control of Industrial Drives

Room: 108

Instructors: Tobias Geyer, Nikolaos Oikonomou, ABB Corporate Research, Switzerland

In recent years, model predictive control (MPC) for power electronics and drives has become a very popular research topic. However, the majority of MPC schemes proposed so far tend to be of a simplistic nature and of limited applicability to industrial and high power electrical drives. Bridging this gap, this tutorial focuses on high-performance MPC schemes that have been developed, implemented and tested for industrial MW drives. These MPC schemes combine the very fast transient response times of deadbeat controllers with the superior steady-state performance of optimized pulse patterns. The main emphasis of this tutorial is on the development of MPC algorithms for cases, where the absence of a modulator and hence the use of discrete-valued control variables (the switch positions) together with the need to reduce the converter switching frequency (losses) necessitates the use of very long prediction horizons and the development of tailored control problem formulations and solution algorithms. The key benefit of these approaches is that the control and modulation problem is addressed in one computational stage. As a result, the current harmonic distortions and the switching losses can be reduced simultaneously, when compared to carrier-based PWM. Indeed, at low switching frequencies, the resulting steady-state behaviour is similar to the one obtained by optimized pulse patterns. During transients, however, very fast current and torque response times are achieved, similar to deadbeat control.

T1-4 Testing and Diagnostics of Induction Machines in an Industrial Environment

Room: 107/109

Instructors: Sang Bin Lee, Ernesto Wiedbrig, Karim Younsi, Korea University, Korea (South), Wiedenbrug LLC, USA, General Electric Global Research Center, USA

The goal of this tutorial is to offer valuable information about the diagnostic reality in industry. The target audience is practicing research and development engineers in the area of reliability, diagnostics and prognostics for electrical machines in industrial environments. The wide gap between the predictive maintenance professional’s situation, and methods deemed suitable in a research laboratory will become apparent, opening to candid discussions during this tutorial. Researchers will benefit by being able to target their future work to the needs of industry, thus raising the odds for their research growing into commercially available solutions. The tutorial covers electrical diagnostic techniques used in the field, putting them into perspective with non-electrical diagnostic methods also being used.

Note: All tutorials are held on September 15, 2013. Pre-registration for each tutorial is required. Please visit the Registration Desk for space availability.


T1-5 Switched Reluctance Machines —Design and Control

Room: 110/112

Instructors: Iqbal Husain, Yilmaz Sozer, David Torrey, NC State University, USA, University of Akron, USA, GE Global Research, USA

The switched-reluctance machine (SRM) has intrigued the electric machines community for over thirty years. The SRM possesses a few unique features that make it a strong competitor to induction and PM motor drives in various adjustable speed drive and servo applications including traction. The primary advantages are low construction costs and energy efficiency, and high fault tolerance. The maximum permissible rotor temperature is higher, since there are no permanent magnets (in PM machines) or windings (in induction machines) on the rotor. Lower rotor losses make thermal management relatively easier in SRMs. The SRM has not penetrated many markets due to the lack of technical know-how in the industry, higher electronics cost and targeting the wrong applications. The electronics requirement for the SRM is slightly more than that of induction and PM motor drives, but that cost has dramatically come down over the years. Thus, comparing motor costs became imperative for the industry in recent years. The uncertainty with rare earth magnet material imports can be eliminated with SRMs. There are several niche applications where SRMs are being used such as mining equipment, portable generators, starter-generators etc. SRM is demonstrating value in applications that take advantage of the inherent ability of the SRM to support a broad constant power speed range; traction drives are a specific example. The tutorial plans to cover the fundamentals of the SRM along with practical examples of machine and controller designs. Topics to be covered include: SRM Basics; SRM Design; Drive Technology; Control and Applications.

T1-6 Dynamic Modeling of Renewable Energy Generator and Power Plant

Room: 111/113

Instructors: Ed Muljadi, Vahan Gevorgian, Mohit Singh, YC Zhang, Longya Xu, NREL, USA, OSU, USA

This tutorial will cover the challenges and methods of dynamic modeling of single renewable energy generators and whole renewable energy plants (wind power plants, large PV arrays). Also, modeling aspects of other auxiliary systems (FACTS, protection, etc.) and energy storage will be covered as well. Another modeling area included into the tutorial is related to dynamic aspects of offshore wind integration. The deployment of offshore wind power plants requires power transmission from the plant to the load center inland. Some modeling aspects of AC and DC transmission options will be discussed during this tutorial.

Sunday, September 15 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Afternoon Sessions

T2-1 Matrix Converters: Implementationand Industrial Applications

Room: 103/105

Instructors: Dr. Liliana de Lillo, Dr. Lee Empringham, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom

The challenges and practical implementation of a matrix converter considering three input and three output applications are addressed together with its control. The contribution of guest speakers, from both academia and especially representatives from industry involved in the advancement of matrix converter technology will offer a comprehensive view on this topology of power converters with the intent of highlighting how most of the hardware and control issues in a real matrix converter implementation have been overcome leading to real-world products and prototypes, already available on the market. Also with the advancement of SiC devices together with improved availability, have enabled exploration of new power density challenges for this technology which has the inherent feature of being more compact than a DC-link inverter.

T2-2 Characteristics and Applicationof IGBT Power Modules

Room: 104/106

Instructors: John Donlon, Eric Motto, Nick Clark, Bill Kephart, Powerex, Inc., USA

Information provided on IGBT module data sheets varies considerably between manufacturers and can leave the designer with many questions regarding device selection. Issues the designer must deal with include interpretation of device ratings, gate drive requirements, and providing device and system protection. The intent of this tutorial is to aid the designer in applying an IGBT to a new product. Questions and concerns a designer might have will be addressed by the various techniques and circuit examples that will be presented. IGBT chip technology and device packaging options will also be discussed. The attendee should leave the course with a better understanding of the IGBT, both specifically as a device and how it functions in an application. The goal will be to impart an understanding of the features, characteristics, and limitations of the IGBT power module and how to ensure a successful application. This will include the application of IGBTs in power circuits, protecting the IGBT from internal and external disturbances, and an understanding of thermal design, handling, and reliability considerations. The tutorial is intended for design engineers new to IGBTs as the main switch in power conversion equipment as well as refresher for the experienced designer with questions about confusing or conflicting information on the data sheets from various manufacturers.
