Abstract:
In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, high-speed and high-density motor drives have become essential components powering a wide range of applications across various industries and automotive applications. Integrated motor drives (IMDs) with Wide Bandgap (WBG) technology hold immense significance in catering to the demand for enhanced power density in motor drives. At the same time, it can introduce challenges in terms of electromagnetic interference (EMI), due to its characteristics like high rate of change of the voltage/current and large ringing waveforms. This makes it necessary to comprehensively understand the EMI sources and explore more accurate EMI modeling approaches, which can help address electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) during the design phase. The key to accurate EMI noise prediction lies in the identification and precise modeling of noise sources and propagation paths within the system. Numerous studies in the literature describe various modeling approaches for predicting EMI in motor drives. However, in many of these studies, the actual switching characteristics of semiconductor and the parasitic effects in the system are not taken into consideration. Notably, there is a scarcity of research focusing on the EMI analysis of IMDs incorporating WBG devices. Addressing this gap in the literature is crucial for advancing our understanding of EMI in modern motor drives and for developing more accurate predictive models.
The main objective of this PhD project is to develop a new systematic approach in characterizing EMI noise generation and propagation mechanisms in Integrated Motor Drive with Wide Band Gap devices. Equivalent electrical circuit diagrams to understand behavioral characteristics will be developed. This will result in suitable equivalent electrical circuits and digital twin to predict EMI behavior of the system which can consequently enable possibility of applying feasible mitigation methods and design trade-offs. This will ensure obtaining high power density power electronics in motor drives with EMC feature.
Expected outcome of the project are:
i. Characterization of EMI noise generation and propagation mechanism in motor drives.
ii. Development of EMI model to predict the conducted emissions in IMDs.
iii. Optimized EMI filter design to obtain maximum power density based on developed EMI model.
iv. Designing an EMC optimized power electronic hardware prototype for experimental validation.
