Abstract: The development of various aspects of the technology of electronic power conversion is examined. The present state of the art is reviewed, giving attention to generic issues rather than to detail. The present trends are identified, particularly in relation to packaging, cooling, manufacturing and environmental impact technology. The future possibilities of electronic power converter technology are examined as being driven by functional integration, packaging, cooling, environmental impact and manufacturing technology. The approach taken by the NSF Engineering Research Center for Power Electronics Systems in terms of three-dimensional hybrid integration is discussed.

Abstract: The paper reviews the technology status and recently developed control strategies for PWM rectifier inverter-fed induction motor drives with emphasis for its similarities. A comprehensive review includes: new PWM techniques, field oriented and direct torque control of induction motor (FOC and DTC), voltage oriented and direct power control of PWM rectifier (VOC and DPC), novel virtual flux (VF) based sensorless control of PWM rectifier. Also, neural network and fuzzy logic based intelligent controllers for motion control has been discussed. Selected oscillograms accompany the presentation in order to illustrate properties of the described control strategies.
