SiC-based High-Speed PMSM VFD
FY 2023-24 · 2023-04-03
Summary
The aim of this project is to implement high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor control loops in a Silicon Carbide-based high-speed variable frequency drive. This technology should result in “clean power drives” producing a true sine wave output to significantly reduce industrial electrical motor wear and to improve system efficiency.

Description
The aim of this project is to implement high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor control loops in a Silicon Carbide-based high-speed variable frequency drive. This technology should result in “clean power drives” producing a true sine wave output to significantly reduce industrial electrical motor wear and to improve system efficiency.
Description (French)
L’objectif de ce projet est de mettre en œuvre des boucles de contrôle de moteurs synchrones à aimants permanents à grande vitesse dans un variateur de fréquence à grande vitesse à base de carbure de silicium. Cette technologie devrait permettre d’obtenir des «entraînements propres» produisant une véritable onde sinusoïdale afin de réduire de manière significative l’usure des moteurs électriques industriels et d’améliorer l’efficacité du système.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Firms is to support research, development, adoption and/or adaptation of innovative or technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada up to their commercialization
