The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University and the Industry Applications Society (IAS) chapter in collaboration with the Industrial Electronics Society (IES), Power Electronics Society (PELS), Power & Energy Society (PES) and IAS Concordia University Student Branch chapters in the IEEE Montreal Section cordially invites you to a seminar presented by Dr. Raja V Ramakrishnan, Chief-scientist (controls) at Halla Mechatronics, USA.

This presentation gives a review of sensorless motor control drive systems. The present status of such drives in the industry and what challenges does the automotive industry faces implementing sensorless drives in its safety critical components. It then shows how such a drive system helps to develop next generation safety architecture for motor control drives by bringing down the cost but increasing the fault tolerant behaviour.

Biography:

Ramakrishnan Raja (M’11) received B.Sc. degree from Amrita Institute of technology, India in 2003 and Master’s Degree in electrical engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology, in 2005. He received his Ph.D. degree in automotive system engineering from University of Michigan-Dearborn, MI. From 2004-2013 he has been working for Delphi steering and Nexteer automotive as Senior Electrical Engineer. Currently he is working at Halla mechatronics as Chief Scientist-Controls. He is responsible for motor drive /Vehicle Dynamics control for various automotive applications. His research interest includes electrical machines and variable speed drives including sensorless motor control drives. His recent works includes developing redundant motor drive architecture (for steering) with complete redundancy such that there is no reduction in system performance after a single point failure. He is presently the Associate Editor for Industrial Drives Committee and Transportation System Committee.
