Control of Power Electronics: From Performance to Reliability
Power-electronic control and modeling have gone through fundamental shift in its approach with time slowly but surely replacing reduced-order-manifold-based approaches proposed decades back. With the revolution in embedded processors and advancements in multi-objective optimization, stability theory, hybrid systems, and communication/information theory, radically new multi-scale spatio-temporal approaches are being developed and implemented that are showing unprecedented promise for plurality of power-electronic applications and changing the mindset regarding the control and modeling of such hybrid dynamical switching-power systems. At the actuation level, the advent of rapid switching wide- and ultra-wide-bandgap devices is enabling the accelerated penetration of such next-generation controls across plurality of voltage and power levels encompassing radically improved, new, and complex power-electronic systems. This talk will begin with an outline on the role of control in traditional power-electronic systems and how they shape the behavior of such hybrid dynamical systems. Subsequently, an overview of the traditional power-electronic control approaches will be provided along with brief discussions on their strengths and limitations. That leads to the future of controls in power electronics including cyber-resilient control and control for long-term reliability, and what should and could be done beyond traditional power-electronic control that addresses existing, evolving, and future applications needs encompassing wide temporal and spatial scales? This talk will provide some insights on how and what radically new ideas may need to be synthesized that reach far beyond historical and conventional power-electronic control needs with wide power-conversion applications.

Biography:
Dr. Mazumder received his Ph.D. degree from Virginia Tech in 2001. Since 2001, he has served as a Professor at UIC and the Director of LESES. He also serves as the President of NextWatt LLC since 2008. He has over 30 years of professional experience encompassing academia and leading industries having carried out close to 60 sponsored projects encompassing about $40M. He is a Fellow of IEEE (2016), AAAS (2020), and AAIA (2022) for distinguished contributions in power electronics.
He also served as a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Power Electronics Society (2016-2019). He is the current Editor-at-Large for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics. He received several IEEE awards/honors including the 2023 IEEE Power & Energy Society’s Ramakumar Family Renewable Energy Excellence Award, IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics Prize Paper Awards (2022, 2002) and Highlighted Papers (2023, 2022, 2018), Featured Article for IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (2023), IEEE Conference Best Paper Award (2013), IEEE Outstanding Paper Award (2007), and IEEE International Future Energy Challenge Award (2005). He also received Stanford University’s top-2% most-influential-scientist recognition (2022) and Elsevier recognition for being top 2% researcher in their fields for career-long productivity as well as top 2% researcher with single-year impact (2021, 2022). He is the recipient of UIC’s highest awards: Distinguished Researcher of the Year (2020), Inventor of the Year (2014), University Scholar (2013). He is also the recipient of U.S. ONR Young Investigator Award (2005) and U.S. NSF CAREER Award (2003). In June of 2023, he was also elevated to be a UIC Distinguished Professor (effective AY’23 pending UIC Broad of Trustees approval).
