Multilevel inverters are becoming increasingly popular forhigh
and medium power applications. In the course ofimproving features
of multilevel inverters and enhancingtheir competitiveness, hybrid
multistage inverter hasbeen introduced. Hybrid inverters reduce the
circuit size
and cost for a given number of levels and improvedevices
utilization. In this study a three-stage hybridinverter has been
designed. The inverter is composed ofhigh-voltage, medium-voltage
and low-voltage stages.Two control modes have been proposed to
operate the
hybrid inverter: voltage vector approximation mode andspace
vector modulation mode. In voltage vector
approximation mode, the proposed control algorithmproduces the
inverter voltage vector which is nearest tothe required output
while the switching losses have beenminimized. A voltage space
vector modulation controltechnique has been developed. This method
enables themultistage inverter designed with maximum number
oflevels to be operated in pulse width modulation controlmode
without subjecting the high voltage stage to highfrequency
switching. The voltage vector modulationalgorithm operates the high
and medium voltage stageswith low switching frequency regardless of
the outputvoltage amplitude. The low voltage stage is
controlledusing conventional space vector modulation strategy.

Around the world, Governments are focusing on how toreduce
emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and how toreduce dependency
and consumption of fossil fuel.Malaysia is not an exception to this
movement - the PrimeMinister had delivered Malaysia stand to reduce
its carbondioxide emission to 40 per cent by the year 2020. As
theworld moves towards an eco friendly future, the
automotive sector plays a vital role in dealing the
emission.Many countries have supported the Hybrid/EV Program asone
of the ways to reduce GHGs. PROTON being the leaderof the
automotive industry in Malaysia has embarked intoseveral
initiatives to support to the greener future, one ofwhich is the
development and production of aordable,low maintenance and greener
cars. Vehicle electrication isamong the PROTONs strategy to oer
signicant fueleconomy, emission reduction and e-Mobility
forsustainable green mobility solution. Consequently,PROTON has
developed Electric Vehicle technologydemonstrators and embarked on
eet test vehicle programfor evaluation, design optimization and
analysis of driving
behavior as well as customer feedbacks. Consequently,PROTON has

In this talk, rst, we summarize a selection of highimpact
research work and its connection to innovationresulting in useful
and novel products. The areas ofresearch that we seek to summarize
are: medicalengineering, global warming, articial
(computer)intelligence, power/communication systems
andsafety/security systems. In medical engineering weshall look at
look at both electrical-thermal systemsand signal based diagnosis
and treatment. Second, wepresent a more detailed presentation on
challengingresearch and innovation areas in medical andbiomedical
engineering, especially, (a) Localization ofthe EEG and MEG signal
using a brain electromagneticinverse processor (b) Autism, Epilepsy
and Brain
Electromagnetics (c) Simultaneous bio-wave
measurements in medical signal processing fordiagnosis (d)
Optimization for Non-invasiveHyperthermia (e) electric circuit
modeling of biologicaltissues, and their use in designing and
testing new
ideas in medical imaging and
invasive/non-invasiveelectromagnetic treatment, instrumentation
and
measurements.
Speaker Biography Paul RatnamahilanR. Hooles research interests
focus onsignal/image processing ofelectromagnetic signals,
especially inmicrowave, medical, security andenergy systems. His
earned doctoratedegree in engineering is from theUniversity of
Oxford. His ongoing research is in thebroader areas of brain
electromagnetic signals inmedicine and computer intelligence,
detection,
classication and interpretation of signal sources, andnew
sensors and solutions related to global warming,applied wireless
technology and smart grids. He hasauthored/coauthored several
journal papers and threebooks in his area of specialization. In
keeping with thecall of the IEEE to be engaged in society, he has
