In the era of society integration through the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), there is relentless need for revolutionary power electronic systems. Sound integration of subsystems and services, ranging from smart grid to health organizations to military sites and critical loads, is a must. A key to achieve this is a research program that will introduce an information system back boned by a power circuits designed in a novel way to reduce its cost but keep its reliability up to the standards.***This research program represents a multidisciplinary technology that includes but not limited to; power semiconductors, control theory, microcomputers, electrical machine design, and converter circuits with very large scale integration (VLSI) capabilities. ***An important aspect of the power electronics applications in any society is about the utmost use of electricity. For example, the use of electric cars achieves a greener society; this would have been impossible without power electronic converters.***Novel power electronic circuits will be developed, using the most recent advanced semiconductors like Gallium Nitride (GaN), Silicon Carbide (SiC), and hybrid ACCUFETs. The cost of these semiconductors and their associated control circuits is falling with time, while the cost of bulky passive components remains the same. This drives the power electronics engineer to provide a “semiconductor” based solution rather than a traditional passive solution. An example is the use of GaN converters in electric vehicles as they operate at very high frequencies, which reduces the size of inductors and capacitors; making them lighter and more compact. New semiconductors require driving circuits with reduced energy consumption, which is another merit.***The objectives of the program are to: (1) design power electronic circuits for drive applications with new semiconductors; (2) Investigate the use of resonant converters to make the build light and compact; (3) The integration of these drive systems into the IoT will require a novel powering scheme for these backbone communication circuits, namely Power over the Ethernet, (4) Control of power electronic circuits using the state of the art digital controllers, and investigation of fuzzy and neural based controllers, and (5) Design of the so called “Hybrid Motors”, where mixed laminations from cost effective induction motors are blended carefully into the expensive permanent magnet motors to achieve the utmost cost effectiveness of future motors without degrading its performance.***This research program will not only focus on better options for the power drive systems, but also micro controller based processing and fabrication of these new materials, in which the applicant possesses extensive industrial experience. Undoubtedly, this research program will prevail as a futuristic electrical engineering discipline.

在通过物联网 (IoT) 概念实现社会融合的时代，从智能电网到卫生组织、军事场所和关键负载，对革命性电力电子系统和服务的良好集成有着不懈的需求。实现这一目标的关键是一项研究计划，该计划将引入一种由以新颖方式设计的电源电路支持的信息系统，以降低其成本，但保持其可靠性达到标准。***该研究计划代表了一个多学科的项目。技术包括但不限于功率半导体、控制；理论、微型计算机、电机设计和具有超大规模集成（VLSI）能力的转换器电路***任何社会中电力电子应用的一个重要方面是关于电力的最大限度的使用。汽车实现了更加绿色的社会；如果没有电力电子转换器，这是不可能的。***将使用氮化镓 (GaN)、碳化硅 (SiC) 和混合动力等最新先进半导体来开发新型电力电子电路这些半导体及其相关控制电路的成本随着时间的推移而下降，而笨重的无源元件的成本保持不变，这促使电力电子工程师提供基于“半导体”的解决方案，而不是传统的无源解决方案。另一个例子是在电动汽车中使用氮化镓转换器，因为它们以非常高的频率运行，这减少了电感器和电容器的尺寸，从而使它们更轻、更紧凑；新的半导体需要降低能耗的驱动电路。优点。***该计划的目标是：(1) 使用新型半导体设计用于驱动应用的电力电子电路；(2) 研究谐振转换器的使用，以实现轻量化和紧凑化；(3) 集成这些进入物联网的驱动系统将需要为这些主干通信电路提供一种新颖的供电方案，即以太网供电，（4）使用最先进的数字控制器控制电力电子电路，以及基于模糊和神经的控制器的研究， (5) 设计所谓的“混合电机”，其中具有成本效益的感应电机的混合叠片被仔细地混合到永磁电机中，以在不降低其性能的情况下实现未来电机的最大成本效益。***该研究计划不仅关注更好的电力驱动系统的选项，以及基于微控制器的新材料的加工和制造，申请人拥有丰富的工业经验，毫无疑问，该研究项目将作为未来的电气工程学科盛行。
