Welcome Address

Dear Participants,

I would like to extend a warm welcome to those industrial, academic and

commercial professionals from across the globe who are engaged in the
challenge to achieve highly efficient power conversion systems and
sustainable environmental protection through advances in power
electronics components and systems. The PCIM conference together with
the exhibition has evolved over the years as a major technical platform
for discussing new developments within the field of power electronics in
the conference seminars and demonstrating new achievements at the
exhibition stands.
We have once again this year seen an increase in the number and quality
of papers submitted and selected the best and most important for
inclusion in the program of oral and poster presentations. The 3-day
technical meeting highlights the likely direction of future technological
advances and provides a platform for debate and discussion with the
experts. Special attention has been given to research carried out by young
engineers; the presentation of the Young Engineers and Best Paper Awards
at the opening ceremony ranks amongst the conference highlights.
Several new fields of application including e-mobility, wind power, solar
power and new energy storage concepts developed from distributed
power systems may open up a variety of excellent business opportunities
and attractive new job opportunities for both young and experienced
engineers. However they also present new technological challenges
especially in helping meet the requirements of energy efficient power
conversion systems, energy storage and the grid connection of distributed
power systems.
This year’s PCIM Conference will address many of these topics. The key
note speeches in particular will address the so-called mega-trend topics
such as E-Mobility, SMART-Grid and Energy Efficient Power Conversion
Systems. A special session and Round Table Meeting will highlight the
likely trends for the future development of key components and systems.
The Sessions and Poster Presentations will all offer an opportunity for
learning about the latest technological advances in high efficiency power
conversion systems and the next generation of key power devices for
future applications.
I am convinced that with its high level technical program and discussion
platform this year’s PCIM Conference will provide you with an overview
of the key technological developments in power electronics and inspire
you to pursue new business opportunities.
I wish you an enjoyable and successful conference packed with new ideas
for your future business.

Frequency Response Measurements on Switching Power Supplies and Components

Ray Ridley, Ridley Engineering Europe, France

Sunday, 15 May 2011 – Seminar
Frequency Response Measurements
on Switching Power Supplies
and Components
Ray Ridley
Ridley Engineering Europe, France
About the instructor
Dr. Ridley is the president of Ridley Engineering
Inc. in the US, and Ridley Engineering Europe.
He provides valuable assistance to companies
worldwide in the form of consulting, test
equipment, design software, and unique
hands-on power supply design courses.
Dr. Ridley has been designing switching power
supplies for over 30 years. He is the author of
the definitive analysis and modelling for
current-mode control. Working at power levels
from less than 1 W to over 50 kW, he has helped
numerous companies improve their power
systems. Coupled with 8 years of university
research, this work has placed him in a unique
position to understand and effectively
communicate the major issues that face today s
designer. He has taught thousands of design
engineers over the years, and published papers,
books, articles and magazines in the field of
power supply design.
Contents
This seminar will present the use of frequency
response analysis for power systems design.
Switching power supplies are unique in the
wideband noise environment that they both
generate and have to operate reliably in.
Proper frequency response measurements are
essential to characterize both the passive
components and the power circuits.
Capacitors used in power supply design should
be properly characterized for their value, ESR,
and resonant frequency before they are used in
a power circuit. The data provided by the
manufacturer is often unreliable.
These numbers are essential for proper power
circuit design. Measurements can be made using
available lab equipment if the proper test circuit
setup is used.
Free for all tutorial participants
(pre-registration is necessary)!
7
14:00 – 17:00
Since most magnetics are custom designed and
manufactured, it is essential to measure as
many of the equivalent circuit-model
components as possible. This is done with
classic open-circuit and short-circuit impedance
measurements that have been performed on
such components for over 100 years.
For modern power magnetics, further attention
must be paid to advanced topics such as
proximity winding loss which can greatly affect
magnetics performance. It is shown how
component measurements can improve your
designs and manufacturing reliability. As with
capacitors, standard lab equipment can be used
to make these measurements.
The power circuits must also be properly
characterized for frequency response to ensure
a rugged control design. Measurements of
control transfer functions are crucial for system
stability. It is demonstrated how to measure loop
gains, power stage gains, and compensation
gains on operating power circuits. This is done
in a very high-noise environment, and proper
lab techniques are essential to obtaining good
results.
It is also a requirement in many industries to
measure input and output impedance transfer
functions, plus noise transmission. Specialized
injection techniques are demonstrated to facility
the safe perturbation and measurement of high
power circuits.
Who should attend?
Anyone designing switching power supplies at
power levels from less than 1 W to 100 kW will
benefit greatly from the material presented in
this seminar. It is recommended for all levels
of designers.

Contents
The tutorial shows methods of speed-sensorless
control of permanent magnet synchronous
machines (PMSMs, BLDC motors).
The presented methods offer the possibility of a
relatively simple implementation in industrial
drives. EMF-based models for high speed as
well as saturation-based and reluctance-based
models for low speed and standstill will be
presented.
Different application examples of sensorless
controlled PM motors will be presented. The
examples include sensorless speed-controlled
systems with high starting-torque, furthermore,
positioning systems without any encoders and
position measurement. Torque-controlled
applications like starter-generators are also
discussed. Hence, participants will discuss the
properties of sensorless drives – their
possibilities and limitations.
As an example of a series application (already
in the market), a sensorless PM dental drive
with high quality at each speed including
standstill will be presented in practice, based
on an experimental setup.

Low-carbon generation has an important part to
play in sustainable energy supply in the 21st
century. A key component of this is the
integration of renewable energy resources into
the power supply network particularly at the
low-voltage distribution level.
Power electronics is the key of future develop-
ments of the electrical power supply.
All distributed generators (like photovoltaic,
wind turbines, micro turbines and fuel cells) as
well as storage devices are connected to the
grid through power electronics. Power electronic
offers also a lot of opportunities of controlling
grid parameters like power balancing, frequency
control and voltage regulation.
This tutorial will give an overview of state-of-the-
art of photovoltaic inverters including topologies
and control in research and industry. Power
electronics and control for wind energy systems
will also be taught. Aspects of grid connection
of PV-plants and Wind parks will also be
discussed.
Who should attend?
This tutorial is interesting to beginners and
advanced participants from university and
industry as it includes a perfect mixture of
different aspects of power electronics for
renewable energy systems. The tutorial
comprises theoretical parts on power electronic
topologies and control structures as well as
practical aspects on design consideration and
manufacturing methods of inverters for
photovoltaic applications.

Switchmode Printed Circuit Board
Design and Layout for Low EMI
Bruce Carsten
Bruce Carsten Associates, USA
About the instructor
Bruce Carsten has 40 years of design and
development experience in switchmode power
converters at frequencies from 20 kHz to 1 MHz.
In 1982 he designed a 48 Vdc, 200 A, 50 kHz
natural convection cooled switchmode telecom
rectifier which met the FCC Class A requirements
for conducted and radiated emissions.
His seminars target the practicing design
engineer, and emphasize an intuitive under-
standing of phenomena involved.
Contents
This seminar is an upgraded and reorganized
version of the seminar presented last year,
which was well received. Many drawings are
revised, and new test results on conductive
shielding of magnetic fields are provided,
including representative effects of slots and
holes in ground planes, and field attenuation
normal to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) surface
due to a ground plane.
Although related to previous EMI seminars by
the instructor, the focus of this new seminar is
the physical design and layout of a PCB to
minimize Electromagnet ic Interference (EMI).
A good PCB layout for low EMI is a technically
demanding design task, ideally performed by
one versed in the physics and visualization of
electric and magnetic fields. Unfortunately, PCB
layout is increasingly performed by someone
trained only in the use of layout software, where
arbitrary component placement and the use of
auto-routing of conductor traces can be deadly
to EMI performance.
The seminar will begin with physical demon-
strations of energy coupling by changing
magnetic and electric fields to aid in the
comprehension of EMI generation.
17
09:00 – 17:00
Topics include:
n Definition of EMI, and how it is measured
n How EMI is generated by changing voltages
and currents
n Magnetic field coupling from a current loop
to a pickup loop
n Electric field coupling from one surface to
another
n Illustration of energy coupling through
changing electric and magnetic fields
n Why EMI is so hard to prevent; a »parts per
trillion« phenomena
n Switching Cells as the principal source of EMI
n Conductive shielding of Magnetic Fields
n Faraday shielding of Electric Fields
n The many benefits of a Ground Plane
(expanded from last year)
n Layout of switching cells as a »macro« or»
component«, which can be moved but not
pulled apart
n Locating sources of EMI with H-field and
E-field probes
Who should attend?
This seminar is directed largely towards the
switchmode design engineer who is either
directly involved in PCB layout, or needs to
direct and assist layout technicians. However
the seminar will also be of some value to layout
software users without an engineering
background.

The goal of developing AC-DC converters with

Isolation and Power Factor Correction feature in
a single power processing stage and without a
mandatory fullbridge rectifier has for years
eluded Power Electronics researchers.
Present AC-DC converters operated from a
single-phase ac line are based on conventional
PWM switching method and process the power

Infineon Technologies Munich, Germany consisting of just three switches and a single
magnetic component albeit at a much higher
efficiency approaching 98% and having a
0.999 power factor and 1.7% total harmonic
distortion.
The ultimate solution is reached in an Isolated,
Bridgeless, Three-phase AC-DC converter with
Unity Power Factor (designated here Three-
Phase rectifierTM ), which converts the three-
phase input power directly into a desired high
frequency isolated DC output voltage (48V for
telecommunications, 12V for data centers, etc.)
again in a single power processing stage, but
employing three isolation transformers
operating at high switching frequency of 100kHz.
The intermediate 400V high voltage DC bus of
conventional three-phase AC-DC rectifiers is also
eliminated resulting in direct cost and size
benefits, while the high efficiency of 98% and
other performance features of the above Single-
phase rectifierTM solution are fully preserved.
The Three-phase rectifierTM, processes the
power in parallel and equally through each
phase, resulting in additional size and cost
savings. For example, a 1.2kW AC-DC converter
is processing 400W power in parallel through
each phase. The conventional three-phase
approaches are incapable to do that and must
process the full 1.2kW power through its second
power processing stage, the Isolated DC-DC
converter stage. Three-Phase rectifierTM takes a
full advantage of Tesla’s three-phase trans-
mission system to convert constant
instantaneous input power directly to a constant
DC output power, albeit isolated at high
switching frequency, with near unity power
factor (0.999), low total harmonic distortion
(1.7%), smaller size and lower cost but at ultra
high efficiency of 98%.

Increased use of renewable generation and

increased efficiency in transmission, distribution
and utilization of electric energy are highest on
the agenda. Research and development in
electric vehicles has accelerated enormously

in efficiency when upgrading direct on-line
motors to adjustable speed drives).
The keynote speech will give an overview of the
smart grids concept and the role of power
electronics to make it reality, including several
examples of smart grids demonstrators where
power electronics is a key technology.

From a technical point of view, there are three

main domains that have shown big improve-
ments during the very last years: battery, electric
powertrain (machine & inverter) and charging
solutions (including intelligent navigation
system for autonomy optimization).
Even if the technical state of the art in these
three domains makes it possible to go to mass

600V and 1200V are commercially available and used in
different kinds of converters, often together with Si
transistors reducing switching losses significantly.
SiC transistors are currently sampled as JFETs, MOSFETs
or BJTs. On the user side, solar inverters have turned out
to be a lead application for SiC. At the same time another
rising star appears at the horizon, GaN allowing hetero-
epitaxy on Si wafers. This offers new opportunities
regarding costs and co-integration with Si device
technology. Will this new material compete against
SiC or will we GaN occupy complementary applications
in the voltage and frequency range?
