Dear Colleagues, Students and Friends, On behalf of the IEEE Lebanon Joint Chapter (IE13/PE31/CAS04/PEL35) and IEEE LIU Student Branch, you kindly invited to attend the DL hybrid presentation on Tuesday, April 25th, 2023, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. The DL speaker is Professor Petros Karamanakos and the delivered topic is Optimal modulation, such as optimized pulse patterns (OPPs). Topic Abstract Optimal modulation, such as optimized pulse patterns (OPPs), can produce very low harmonic distortions. However, due to inherent difficulties, OPPs cannot be easily utilized in a closed-loop control setting with conventional control techniques. This lecture discusses how optimal control can enable the design of high-bandwidth controllers that can fully harvest the advantages of OPPs. Moreover, aspects that relate to the control concept, formulation, and real-time implementation are analyzed. The superior steady-state and dynamic performance of the presented control algorithms is demonstrated with two different case studies: low- and medium-voltage variable-speed drive systems.
