One day Interactive Workshop on Advancements in Multilevel Inverters for AC drives
This one-day workshop is intended to introduce the basic concepts of multilevel inverters to young researchers and academia. This workshop consists of two modules.
In the first module, which consists of two lectures, the basic theoretical framework is laid out for multilevel inverters in general and an emerging configuration known as dual-inverter fed open-end winding configuration in particular. Starting from the basic operation of the time tested, industry standard two-level inverter configuration, the evolution and proliferation of various multilevel inverter configurations would be explained in detail. Various types of PWM techniques suitable for the multilevel inverter configurations would also be dealt with.
In the second module would also consist of two lectures. In this module, advanced topologies of open-end winding induction motor along with some special PWM techniques to avoid common-mode voltages, which are deleterious to the shaft and bearings of the motor, would be explained.

Speakers
Dr. K Gopakumar of Indian Insitute of Science Bangalore
Biography: Dr. K. Gopakumar received his B.E. (Electrical Engineering) degree from Indian Institute of Science in 1980. Later on he did his M. Sc. (Engg.) (E.E.) in 1984 and Ph.D. (E.E.) in 1994 both from the Indian Institute of Science respectively. His thesis title for M.Sc. was "A Series Dual Current Source Inverter fed Split-Phase Induction Motor Drive" and thesis title for Ph.D. was "Study on Voltage Source Inverter fed Drives for Induction Motor with Split Phase Windings". Dr. Gopakumar is currently a Professor at the Department of Electronic sytems Engineering( formerly CEDT- Centre for Electronics Design and Technology (CEDT), at Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India. He is also the member of the following professional bodies :- Fellow IEEE Fellow IETE (India) Fellow Indian National academy of Engineers (FNAE) Associate Editor- IEEE Trans. On Industrial Electronics. IETE (India)- B.K Bose award for contributions to the area of power electronics and drives for high power applications Council member DIAT ( Defense Institute of Advanced Technology University),Pune Professional Experience - 27 years; 1984-1987: During this period, Dr. K. Gopakumar was employed by the Indian Space Research Organisation, Satellite Centre, Bangalore, India. The nature of the work was to design and develop satellite on board power supply systems. During this period he was fully involved in the design, development and testing of the SROSS-1 (Stretched Rohini Satellite Series-1) main power supply systems (switched mode power supply systems) for the controls and payloads. From 1987 onwards: employed at CEDT, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
Prof. V T Somasekhar of National Institute of Technology, Warangal
Biography:
Prof. V.T. Somasekhar received his graduate degree from Regional Engineering College Warangal (presently the National Institute of Technology) in 1988 and the post graduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 1990, his area of specialization being Power Electronics. He worked as an R&D engineer at M/s Perpetual Power Technologies,
Bangalore and as a senior engineer at M/s Kirloskar Electric Co. Ltd., Mysore. He joined the faculty of electrical engineering at the National Institute of Technology in 1993, where he is currently serving. He received his doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Science in 2003. His current interests are multilevel inversion with open-end induction motors, AC drives and PWM strategies.
