IPEE - Track 8

High-Performance Motor Drive and Intelligent Control Technologies

The global electrification transition is reshaping industrial, transportation, and aerospace sectors. As core electromechanical energy converters, motor drive systems critically determine the performance of EVs, CNC tools, robotics, rail transit, more-electric aircraft, and renewable energy generation. Motor drive technology is undergoing a paradigm shift. Emerging topologies—PMSM, linear, and SRM—demand higher accuracy, dynamic response, and bandwidth. Applications like EVs, more-electric aircraft, and precision servos pose challenges in reliability, fault tolerance, and power density. The integration of wide-bandgap devices, sensorless control, and AI with nonlinear control theories is enabling breakthroughs.

This session focuses on novel motor design, high-precision servo and multi-axis coordination, sensorless control, full-speed observation, advanced nonlinear/intelligent algorithms, condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and motor–grid interaction. These directions are vital for advancing motor drives, enabling efficient energy conversion, and supporting the global energy transition.

Topics:
1. Novel motor topology design and multi-physics optimization
2. High-performance control for PMSMs, linear motors, SRMs, and other motor types
3. Sensorless control and full-speed rotor position estimation
4. Sliding mode control, ADRC, MPC, and other advanced nonlinear control theories
5. Multi-axis precision motion and contouring control
6. Multi-motor coordinated and distributed drive control
7. Electric vehicle traction system integration and efficiency optimization
8. Special motor drives for aerospace and robotics
9. Intelligent sensing, condition monitoring, and fault diagnosis
10. AI/machine learning in motor drive control and parameter optimization
