DESCRIPTION:Power electronics is an appealing target for physical integrati
 on with electric machines\, motivated by desires to achieve mass\, volume\
 , and cost savings via elimination of special enclosures and connecting ca
 bles. Despite some notable successes dating back to the 1960s\, there have
  been a number of formidable obstacles that have limited the successful ad
 option of this integration technology\, including the inability of power e
 lectronics to tolerate the thermal and vibration extremes imposed by the m
 achines. Despite these challenges\, continuing advances in power electroni
 cs (PE) technology are progressively suppressing the barriers to successfu
 l integration. Key among these is the accelerating maturity of wide-bandga
 p (WBG) power semiconductor switches (SiC and GaN) that offer exciting pro
 spects for shrinking the size of power converters by significantly raising
  their operating frequencies. This presentation explores the future of int
 egrated motor drives(IMDs) by first reviewing key applications and motivat
 ing factors that are spurring new research in this field. Looking ahead\, 
 the case will be made for a revival of interest in current-source inverter
 s (CSIs) for future machine drives\, highlighting the potential of new WBG
  power switches to update a technology that has been largely dormant for t
 he past 30+ years. The objective is to simultaneously address EMI\, temper
 ature\, voltage overshoot\, and faultmode limitations of today’s dominan
 t voltage-source inverter (VSI) machine drives. Progress made to date towa
 rds achieving these appealing advantages will be highlighted. The presenta
 tion will conclude with a review of both the opportunities and challenges 
 presented by emerging technologies for realizing\nthe full potential of th
 e integrated motor drive vision during coming years.\n\nCo-sponsored by: T
