The Second IEEE Workshop on Sensorless Con-

trol of Electrical Drives took place on 29th of August

in Warsaw, Poland. The host of this event was Insti-

tute of Control and Industrial Electronics, Warsaw

University of Technol-

ogy (WUT). This

Workshop was organ-

ized by IEEE-PELS-

Technical Committee

for Motor Drives (Prof.

Alfio Consoli, Italy)

and the Joint IES/

PELS Chapter of Po-

land Section (Prof.

Marian P. Kazmier-

kowski, Dr. Marek

Jasinski). The idea of

the Workshop was

proposed and initiated by Prof. Ralph Kennel (TU

Munich, Germany) and the first event was last year

in Malta organized by Dr. Cyril Spiteri Staines.

ICIE Co-Organizer of Second IEEE Workshop On Sensorless Control

of Electrical Drives

29 August, Warsaw, Poland

In the Technical Program of the Workshop in War-

saw 12 invited specialists from 6 countries have pre-

sented their interesting lectures devoted to novel meth-

ods of sensorless control of AC motor drives. Prof.

Silverio Bolognani

(University of Padova,

Italy) has presented an

interesting speech about

synchronous motor

drive application in cata-

maran. Prof. Alfio Con-

soli (University of Cata-

nia, Italy) presented a

sophisticated method of

induction motors flux

estimation. Prof. Ralph

Kennel (University of

Wuppertal and Munich,

Germany) spoke about newest development in en-

coderless control of synchronous machines. Dr. Q.

Gao and Dr. C. Gerada (University of Nottingham, UK)

Participants of the Workshop


presented a novel approach for Permanent Magnet Syn-

chronous Machine modeling. Prof. Zbigniew Krzeminski

(TU Gdansk, Poland) presented advanced multiscalar

models of AC machines. Prof. Peter Mutschler and Dr.

Roberto Leidhold (TU Darmstadt, Germany) presented

very good results in improved bandwidth of sensorless

position detection. A “Woman in Engineering” - Prof.

Teresa Orlowska-Kowalska and Dr. Mateusz Dybkowski

(TU Wroclaw, Poland) presented excellent comparisons

of different MRAS type speed and flux estimators for

induction motor in low speed range. Experimental re-

sults showed that proposed estimator works stable even

with 50% parameters mismatch and is easy in DSP im-

plementation. Dr. Giacomo Scelba (University of Cata-

nia, Italy) showed an analogue implementation of sen-

sorless control of salient synchronous motors. A very

interesting presentation about standardized implementa-

tion of INFORM and an EMF-model in industrial sensor-

less PMSM drives was given by Prof. Manfred Schroedl

(TU Wien, Austria). Prof. Wlodzimierz Koczara and

Janusz Wisniewski (WUT, Poland) have discussed sen-

sorless low speed operation of a permanent magnet

motor. Presented method PIPCRM could detect a rotor

position at standstill.

During a Panel Session discussion over 30 partici-

pants of the Warsaw event, decided that the next III

Workshop on Sensorless Control of Electrical Drives will

be addressed to a wider audience with majority partici-

pants form industry. They also proposed that in 2009

the Workshop could be held in Spain at a date close to

the EPE Conference in Barcelona. In fact, the partici-

pants believe that the Workshop can be a vehicle for a

more intensive collaboration between EPE and IEEE-

PELS.

The discussion was very lively and the event gave

an opportunity to meet young researchers with very

famous professors from the field of electrical drives.

Besides discussion during Technical Session, partici-

pants had possibility to visit laboratories of the Institute

of Control and Industrial Electronics (ICIE), and further

during the dinner in very friendly and informal atmos-

phere in the nice restaurant Polish Delicious.

The Local Organizers would like to thank for coop-

eration to: IEEE-PELS-Technical Committee for Motor

Drives and Poland Section IEEE for financial support,

and all invited specialists for high level materials and

would like to invite for the next Workshop in 2009,

which is intended to be in Spain. The details of the next

Workshop will be announced soon.

Energy saving and improved energy efficiency is a

major issue for drives and generator systems devel-

opment. Power electronics technology is the key for

energy efficient variable speed drives. Applications

range from the low power area e.g. in home appli-

ance over medium power in industrial and automo-

tive up to the large MW power in the field of genera-

tion. There is still progress in electrical machines

motors and generators that are going to be more

efficient, lighter and more robust.

The main types of variable speed drives have been

industrial drives where the competition between

many players has been strong and pushed the tech-

nology to have a high power density with high per-

formance at still lower costs. New variable/adjustable

In February 2008 the ICIE hosted two weeks Dr Gonzalo Abad from the University of Mondragon, Spain. During his stay in

Warsaw Dr Gonzalo Abad cooperated with Dr Marek Jasinski and Dr Grzegorz Iwański on the area of application of predic-

tive control in power electronic converters, especially in Doubly-Fed Induction Generators. As result of this cooperation sev-

eral common papers presented on IEEE and EPE conferences has been published. Also, four our MSc-Students have com-

pleted their Diploma project in Mondragon (Małgorzata Bobrowska, Krzysztof Rafał, Michał Rolak and Szymon Piasecki).

On Tuesday 05 February, 2008 Dr Gonzalo Abad has presented Seminar entitled “High Power and Medium Voltage Wind

Turbines, based on Predictive Direct Control Techniques.” in which he has discussed several examples how to use predic-

tive technique based on on-line optimization for AC/DC/AC converters.

On 13 May, 2008 the ICIE has hosted Professor Tomasz K. Migurski from the State University of California, San Jose, USA.

Professor Migurski, specialist on Industrial Design, has stayed on sabbatical leave in the Warsaw Academy of Art and he

has visited ICIE because of his strong interest in sea wave energy conversion. This topic is extremely popular in California

State where good sea wave conditions are. In his Seminar lecture Prof. Migurski has presented an original idea of sea wave

energy converter which is based on “network of small air pumps” swimming on the waves. The energy of the compressed

air can be stored and used in peak hours.

During his visit in the ICIE Professor Migurski met Professor Marian Kazmierkowski and Dr Marek Jasiński and has dis-

cussed research and teaching subjects.
