Tutorial - Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles - Power Electronics, Battery 

Management, Control, and V2G 

Hour : 13:00 


Lecturer/s 

Chris Mi (University of Michigan USA) 

Alain Bouscayrol (University of Lille 1, France) 

Synopsis - Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) involve the use of larger battery packs and larger 

electric drivetrain components than regular HEVs. The control and management of the vehicular power 

electronics and energy storage systems are therefore more complicated and more challenging than those 

in conventional HEVs. This tutorial will explore the different design and control requirements and 

challenges of PHEV drivetrain components. The tutorial will cover topics such as PHEV topology, control, 

design, performance optimization, battery management, battery cell balancing, battery life extension, and 

cold weather performance enhancement. Vehicle to grid (V2G) concepts will be discussed along with the 

system requirements and impact of PHEV on the power grid. Some OEM and aftermarket PHEVs, such as 

the Chrysler Aspen PHEV and Prius PHEV will be used as case studies.

Tutorial - Power Electronics for PV Power Systems Integration 

Hour : 16:30 


Lecturer/s 

Remus Teodorescu (Aalborg University, Denmark) 

Pedro Rodriguez (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain) 

Marco Liserre (Politecnico di Bari, Italy) 

Synopsis - Future PV power converters should ensure smart and efficient integration of PV energy into 

existing electrical networks. To achieve this goal, new essential issues should be addressed by engineers 

and researchers. This tutorial, divided into 3 parts. 

First part is devoted to PV inverter topologies with focus on the new trend on transformerless ones and 

control structure of PV inverters, goes deeper into issues related to efficiency and leakage current. The 

most relevant topologies used in PV inverters are presented in this lecture. These topologies will be 

classified into H-bridge based topologies and neutral point clamped (NPC) based topologies. A general 

overview of the PV inverter control structure will be given. 

Second block deals with the grid monitoring task in PV inverters, characterizing the grid state in point of 

connection. This block also tackles grid synchronization and provides essential clues about design of 

single-phase PLL systems including frequency-adaptive structures. The effectiveness of conventional grid 

synchronization techniques under unbalanced and distorted conditions will be evaluated and advanced 

solutions will be presented and discussed. 

The third block introduces the islanding phenomenon and makes a review of different passive and active 

anti-islanding detection methods for photovoltaic utility-interactive power systems. A review of the grid 

requirements for PV grid integration in different countries will be given together with a discussion about the 

process of harmonization. 

Meeting Room 06 - Ionia 

Tutorial - Power Quality Systems: from the State of the Art to Future Trends 

Hour : 08:30 


Lecturer/s 

Silvio Colombi (General Electric, Switzerland) 

Marco Piemontesi (General Electric, Switzerland) 

Synopsis - Today we are facing a twofold challenge related to the “quantity” of energy and the “quality” of 

power. On the one hand, there is not enough energy and its cost is continuously increasing, especially in 

peak periods. On the other hand, there are more and more power interruptions and power quality events. In 

this context, power quality systems play a central role. Their key features are reliability, performance and 

cost. Today, advances in microelectronics, controls, power semiconductors, energy storage systems and 

power converter topologies influence these features. The tutorial will discuss these underlying disciplines 

and their current limitations as well as their future trends for more reliable and flexible power quality 

products with superior performance and reduced cost. 

Part One: Controls, Power Electronics, Power Quality Systems 

With a microelectronics cost reduction of 30% per year and a computing power doubling every 6 months, it 

is more and more interesting to realize system features and functions in a digital way. In addition, the 

software costs nothing in production and the digital world opens the way to preventative maintenance,

advanced diagnostics and improved connectivity. It will be shown how a full digital electronics and 

advanced control algorithms make it possible to realize more reliable and flexible power quality products 

with superior performance and at a reduced cost. Often, this results in a significant cost advantage for the 

final customer. The main topics discussed are: UPS topologies (line interactive, delta conversion, double 

conversion, ..), transformer-less versus transformer based UPS, rectifier control strategies and “clean” input 

sinusoidal input currents at a high power factor), inverter control strategies and “output dynamic 

stiffness” (low electronic impedance), modulation strategies for inverter and rectifiers, control of parallel 

units (communication based versus wireless paralleling techniques), advanced operating modes (soft 

bypass transfer, economy mode, synchronization for multiple UPS configurations), control of other power 

quality systems (active filters, energy storage systems, peak shaving and multi-function devices), 

preventative maintenance and advanced diagnostics. 

Part Two: Energy Storage Systems 

The penetration of distributed renewable energy, such as photovoltaic and wind energy may further 

increase grid stability problems. Grid fluctuations due to the integration of renewable energy production and 

energy trading will generate more energy storage demand. For these reasons, in the near future, the 

importance of power quality systems and ESSs (Energy Storage Systems) will grow.Power utilities and 

large industrial power consumers look at ESSs for grid stabilization. Any storage capacity in the grid does 

not replace the requirement of UPS, which always has to be closest to the critical load. On the other hand 

UPS with adequate ESS can introduce energy management at the consumer level and support grid 

stability. Modern power quality systems based on UPS are almost always backed up by lead-acid batteries 

and by engine-generator sets for lengthy power outages. Grid stabilization applications require new ESSs, 

which can be cycled to lower state of charge more often. On this background a technical and economic 

evaluation is given on the options for Electric Energy Storage Systems with respect to the most important 

requirements for power quality and grid stabilization applications. The evaluated emerging energy storage 

technologies include flywheels, super-capacitors for short time power and flow batteries, advanced 

batteries and systems based on compressed air for longer periods as good alternatives to Lead-Acid 

batteries. 

Tutorial - Microgrids: Integration of Distributed Energy Resources into the 

Smart-Grid 

Hour : 13:00 


Lecturer/s 

Josep M. Guerrero (Technical University of Catalonia, Spain) 

Synopsis - Worldwide electrical grids are expecting to become flexible in the next future. In this sense, 

there is an increasing interest in microgrids able to operate in island or connected to the grid. A microgrid 

can be defined as a part of the grid with elements of prime energy movers, power electronics converters, 

distributed energy storage systems and local loads, that can operate autonomously but also interacting with 

main grid. The functionalities expected for these small grids are: black start operation, frequency and 

voltage stability, active and reactive power flow. In this presentation, a review of the droop control method 

and beyond applied to flexible microgrids will be introduced. Examples of real microgrids in the world will be 

presented and analyzed. Finally, the hierarchical control and the energy management of flexible microgrids 

will be discussed. 

Tutorial - Advanced Computational Methods for Identification, Control And 

Optimization in Smart Grids 

Hour : 16:30 

Duration : 180 minutes

Lecturer/s 

Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy (Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA) 

Synopsis - The smart electric power grid will be a complex adaptive system under semi-autonomous 

distributed control. It will be spatially and temporally complex, non-convex, nonlinear and non-stationary 

with a lot of uncertainties. The integration of renewable energy such as wind farms, and plug-in hybrid and 

electric vehicles further adds complexity and challenges to the various controllers at all levels of the smart 

grid. Advanced computational methods are required for planning and optimization, fast control of smart grid 

elements, processing of field data and coordination across the grid. Distributed and coordinated intelligence 

at all levels and across levels of the smart grid – generation, transmission and distribution is inevitable if a 

true smart grid is to be reality. Computational intelligence (CI) is the study of adaptive mechanisms to 

enable or facilitate intelligent behavior in complex, uncertain and changing environments. This tutorial will 

provide an introduction to CI and how CI techniques can be applied for modeling, control and optimization 

of smart grids. 

Meeting Room 09 - Appula 

Tutorial - Real-time Operating Systems for Embedded Applications 

Hour : 08:30 


Lecturer/s 

Ivan Cibrario Bertolotti (IEIIT - Italian National Research Council, Italy) 

Synopsis - The tutorial aims at describing the internal structure of real-time operating systems and the 

advantages of using them in the embedded applications domain. After a summary of several common 

issues concerning concurrent programming, the most widespread models and techniques for real-time 

scheduling and scheduling analysis of independent tasks are presented. Then, the tutorial will discuss how 

the synchronization and communication needs among real-time tasks are dealt with. An example of the 

unbounded priority inversion problem due to lock-based synchronization will lead to the description of the 

Priority Inheritance and Priority Ceiling algorithms. Then, a different approach to shared object access, not 

requiring locks and mutual exclusion to function, will be considered: lock and wait-free synchronization. 

Some remarks about the practical availability of the algorithms and software components discussed in the 

tutorial will conclude the talk, with a focus on open-source libraries and operating systems. 

Tutorial - Future Challenges for Building Automation: Wireless and Security 

Hour : 13:00 


Lecturer/s 

Wolfgang Kastner (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) 

Wolfgang Granzer (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) 

Christian Reinisch (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) 

Synopsis - Building Automation Systems (BAS) are a key technology for increased comfort and cost 

efficient operation in buildings and homes. They provide equipment, software and services for automatic 

control, monitoring and management of building services such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning 

(HVAC) as well as lighting/shading. Furthermore, the use of BAS enables sustainable (green) buildings, 

where energy consumption and emissions can be significantly reduced, thereby promoting ecological, 

economic and comfort benefits. Still, not all the potential of these systems has yet been unlocked. 

Integration of heterogeneous systems mainly from the safety and security domain, sensor sharing and 

fusion, security, ubiquitous (wireless) service availability and autonomous system operation represent 

challenges in building automation that require an evolution of the current practices and systems to be

solved. 

This tutorial will provide the attendees with advanced building automation knowledge. Starting from stateof-the-art 

open systems, current and future perspectives especially regarding the integration of wireless 

technologies and security related services will be thoroughly explained and critically evaluated. Up-to-date 

mechanisms and approaches for managing and securing wired and wireless building automation networks 

will be presented in theory and practice. The tutorial will start with an introduction into building automation 

systems clarifying the requirements, challenges and benefits that go along with the use of both wireless 

and wired solutions. Then, the most important state-of-the-art protocols and technologies such as BACnet 

(ISO 16484-5:2007), LonWorks (ANSI/EIA-709) with LonWorks/IP (ANSI/EIA-852), and KNX (ISO/IEC 

14543-3) featuring KNXnet/IP (EN 13321-2) will be carefully analyzed. Special attention will also be given 

to wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee 2007 and EnOcean. Next, requirements for secure 

communication in the building automation domain will be discussed. Finally, we will present mechanisms 

and features for setting up, managing and securing communication in wired and wireless building 

automation networks both in theory and practice.

Tutorial - Time-Sensitive Network-Control Systems and Applications 

Hour : 16:30 


Lecturer/s 

Mo-Yuen Chow (North Carolina State University, USA) 

Synopsis - A Time-Sensitive Networked Control System (TS-NCS) is a feedback control system wherein 

the control loops are closed through a real-time network with time-sensitive applications. NCS are multidisciplinary 

efforts whose aim is to produce a network structure and components that are capable of 

integrating sensors, actuators, and control algorithms over a communication network in a manner to suit 

real-time applications. NCS has been gaining popularity due to their high potential in widespread 

applications and becoming realizable due to the rapid advancements in embedded systems, wireless 

communication technologies. This tutorial presents fundamental of network control systems. We will then 

present several concerns including network delay, packet loss, and resource allocation about TS-NCS, and 

solutions to integrate distributed sensors, distributed actuators, and distributed controllers. The tutorial will 

describe and demonstrate the use of Predictive Gain Scheduling Control and Dynamic Bandwidth 

Allocation of multiple unmanned ground vehicles in a network-based integrated navigation system for 

illustrations.

Tutorial - A Modern Approach to the Analysis of PM Motors Using Finite 

Element Method 

Hour : 08:30 


Lecturer/s 

Nicola Bianchi (University of Padova, Italy)

Massimo Barcaro (University of Padova, Italy) 

Synopsis - Starting from the basic concepts of finite element analysis, the tutorial deals with several 

procedure for the computation of the PM motor performance. The finite element method is presented in a 

easy way, so as to allow the beginners to understand how it operates and how it can be used for the 

analysis of PM machines. Therefore, the tutorial core is focused on the computation of the PM motor 

parameters (such as PM flux linkage or inductance, according to the given geometry and winding 

arrangement), and performance (torque-to-current ratio, cogging torque, and so on). In addition, the PM 

machine capability under a given control strategy will be described, as well as the computation of the main 

characteristics of the PM motor drive (e.g., the MTPA and the MPTV trajectory, the torque versus speed 

curve under current and voltage limits, the rotor position sensorless detection capability). 

The table of contents is 

1. A brief introduction of using Finite Element Method 

2. Introduction to Permanent Magnet Motors 

3. The Magnetic Analysis of PM Motors 

4. The Electromechanical Torque 

5. Fractional–slot PM synchronous motors 

6. Vector Control of PM motors 

7. Fault–Tolerant and Multiphase PM Motors 

8. Sensorless rotor position detection 

Tutorial - Integrated Circuits for Power Electronics 

Hour : 13:00 


Lecturer/s 

Dorin O. Neacsu (Consultant) 

Synopsis - Integrated circuits are used more and more in power electronic applications in an attempt to 

reduce size and increase versatility and reliability. In 2006, the analog power ICs constitute about 38% of 

the $19B power management market. The power management market is one of the most dynamic sectors 

of the semiconductor industry, with around 13% yearly rises since 2001. A broad range of applications and 

technologies pushed many corporations to look recently into a systematic and educational approach to 

Power IC technologies. Despite the increasing demand for power ICs in both production volume and 

application expansion, there are not too many good references for study. This tutorial is intended to fill this 

gap and to provide an introduction to the field, including business and market information, technology 

update, and a comprehensive discussion of the existing and future applications. The tutorial is developed in 

a very academic way, from a pure technological perspective, and this is supposed to smooth the learning 

process. A seminar every power electronics engineer should attend. At the Authorʼs best knowledge, this is 

the only tutorial about Power IC technologies ever presented within an IEEE event. 

Tutorial - Time Averaging Methods in PWM Multilevel Power Converters 

Analysis: Application to Voltage Quality Evaluation and Flying Capacitors 

Average Voltage Balance Dynamics 

Hour : 16:30 


Lecturer/s 

Alex Ruderman (Elmo Motion Control Ltd. Israel) 

Boris Reznikov (General Satellite Corp. Russia) 

Steven Thielemans (Gent University Belgium)

Synopsis - AC PWM phenomena are usually analyzed in frequency domain by applying Fourier 

transformation that involves infinite double series with Bessel function coefficients. This method requires 

accounting for up to 40-50 switching harmonics that makes it computationally intensive. Therefore, no 

simple analytical solutions for use in an everyday engineering practice are available. 

The tutorial is targeted at drawing power electronics community attention to alternative AC PWM 

investigation methodology based on time averaging that is more adequate for the problems where detailed 

spectrum knowledge is not required. The tutorial is based on original unpublished research that originates 

to mid 1990s. The power of time domain averaging approach is demonstrated for multilevel multiphase 

PWM converter voltage quality evaluation and Flying Capacitor Converter (FCC) averaged voltage 

balancing dynamics analysis. 

PWM converter voltage quality is evaluated using ripple voltage Normalized Mean Square (NMS) criterion. 

Ripple voltage NMS is calculated in a closed piece-wise analytical form by successively averaging on a 

PWM period and on a fundamental AC period. It is asymptotic in the sense that carrier-to-fundamental 

frequency ratio is supposed infinitely large (fundamental signal assumed constant on a PWM period). 

Asymptotic ripple voltage NMS solution is obtained for an arbitrary number of levels and any odd phase 

count. Voltage THD criterion is easily derived from the ripple voltage NMS one. 

Ripple voltage NMS has a physical meaning of (normalized) iron core PWM eddy current loss that is, under 

some realistic assumptions, a dominating load PWM loss mechanism. PWM common mode voltage 

elimination by multilevel converter PWM strategy has a penalty of essentially increasing motor PWM loss 

compared with optimal voltage quality nearest three Space Vector PWM. 

FCC is attractive due to its natural voltage balancing property (no capacitor voltage measurement and 

balancing control effort is required). Though time domain approach based on stitching of analytical 

solutions for consecutive switching intervals is quite common for switched systems analysis, it has never 

been applied to FCC voltage balancing dynamics. In conjunction with a small parameter technique, this 

approach provides simple closed-form solutions. The small parameter assumption means low load ripple 

current and capacitor ripple voltage that typically holds for practical converters. 

Simple closed-form voltage balancing dynamics solutions are obtained for 3-, 4-, 5-, …-level single-leg and 

H-bridge FCC for DC and AC PWM. They reveal dependences on load parameters, switching frequency, 

capacitance values, normalized DC voltage command / AC modulation index, and PWM strategy (carrier 

based lead / lag; phase shifted / modified level shifted). Time domain averaging provides a deep insight into 

voltage balancing mechanisms and an understanding of the fact that different modulation strategies can 

provide the optimal voltage quality and essentially differ in voltage balancing properties.
