Transformerless and 10kV-class Medium Voltage (MV) Drives

Transformerless and 10kV-class Medium Voltage (MV) Drives

This is a past event

Professor Bin Wu of Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada will give a two part seminar.

This seminar is composed of two parts: Part 1 – Power Electronics Research at Ryerson University, where the research facilities and industrial projects currently carried out at the University will be presented, and Part 2 – Transformerless and 10kV-class Medium Voltage (MV) Drives.  In this part, an overview of the MV drives and their industrial applications will be presented, and various practical converter topologies, including multilevel voltage source converters and PWM current source converters for the MV drives, will be reviewed. The latest technology for the transformerless MV drives will be elaborated, and research and development of the 10kV-class drives will be presented.
