Bandung, itb.ac.id - Electrical Power Engineering Research Group in School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (STEI) ITB once again held a public lecture entitled Control in Electrical Systems on Tuesday (06/12/11).  Take place in the Multimedia Room STEI ITB, the public lecture presents Prof. Maurice Fadel and Prof. Anna Llor, researchers from the Laboratory on Plasma and Conversion of Energy (LAPLACE) INPT Research Group - University of Toulouse, France.


Development of control techniques currently rising rapidly in line with the successful development of science and technology. As a result, control techniques is one of science that can not be separated from supporting human daily activities. Scientific control techniques applied in various fields such as transportation like airplanes and cars. Public lecture this time themed Control in Electrical Systems.



Research by Laplace Research Group is engaged in the field of electrical technology, power electronics, plasma, energetic, modeling complex systems, renewable energy, and electronic materials. The results of Laplace's Research Group has been applied in various other disciplines such as environment, transport, aviation, biology, health, and energy.


The purpose of the research conducted by researchers at Laplace, among others, is to provide optimization in time, volume reduction and autonomous systems, improvement of quality systems, and also modeling in the simulation.



Prof. Maurice Fadel presented research entitled "Predictive Torque Control - A Solution for Mono Parallel Dual Inverter PMSM System". PMSM stands for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors is a motor that works in parallel and receive power from an inverter. In an ideal system, the motor will rotate at the same speed even though each has a different load torque.

The principle of the algorithm Predictive Torque Control (PTC) is a model system used to predict the behavior of the system that connects to several power inverter configurations. To get the future configuration, the algorithm takes advantage of the predicted values, references available, and the ability of the optimal algorithm. Application of PTC can be used in control systems of modern transportation such as airplanes and electric trains.
