Electric Vehicle Charging Station Infrastructure incorporating with an Energy Management and Demand Response Technique
Abstract – A study of suitable electrical vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, Demand Response (DR) function and Energy management for an EV is presented in this paper. The proposed technique is to prevent the electrical system within the rated power by controlling electric vehicle chargers loads to the electrical system. A power management method for limiting the charging current and charging time by using state of charge (SOC) as a priority point index is developed. The power management method is also developed as a calculation algorithm for determining the charging current limit rating for electric vehicle chargers. The simulation model is also developed for validating a DR management function of the electric vehicle charger according to Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand (PEA) load characteristic data. The results show that the proposed DR function can manage the charging current of each electric vehicle charger appropriately. Also. the proposed technique can prevent the rated power demand of the transformer distribution. The study illustrates that this method is an effective protection for the distribution transformer and can be able to apply as a DR function to manage electrical energy more efficiently

AC Motor Field-Weakening Control for High-Speed Operation-Overmodulation Strategy and Dynamic Mechanism
Abstract – The high-performance AC motor drives have been developed for over 30 years. Many key technologies have been proposed, such as vector control, direct torque control, and wide-speed range sensorless drive etc. However, it is still challenging to achieve high-performance control in extreme-speed region. This closely related to the high-end industry applications, such as intelligent manufacturing, high-speed locomotive, and all-electric aircraft etc. This keynote presentation will introduce the state-of-art of AC motor design and drives in extreme high-speed region, and present the control strategies for industry applications. Both induction motor (IM) and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive systems will be presented for extreme-high speed region.

Robust Design of Permanent Magnet Motor for EV Applications – Based on Fault Analysis and Diagnosis
Abstract – In this presentation, the robust design of the permanent magnet motor is introduced. Recently, the permanent magnet motors applied to electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the main power sources, requiring higher power density, higher efficiency, and higher reliability.
From the viewpoint of the reliability, it is very important to analyze the cause of the motor driving failure through its fault analysis and to develop a motor system with high reliability through a design resistant to the fault.
Therefore, the characteristic analysis results for the inter-turn fault, permanent magnet fault, bearing fault, etc. as a main fault factors will be reviewed and introduced the method to reduce the failure based on the research results. Also, the areas to be considered for the design of reliable motors will be introduced.
In addition, research results on how to condition monitoring for fault essential for high operation efficiency and reliable operation will be addressed. Finally, the effective fault detection through the proposed methods and fault response control through them will be reviewed.

Towards Net Zero Aviation: Technologies and Challenges for Aircraft Electric Power Systems
Abstract – Electrification of aircraft is considered as the most promising solution to reduce environmental impact of aviation sector in order to achieve ambitious net zero targets. This trend means reconsideration of all onboard systems to employ electrically driven technologies. However, this change tremendously increases both the total electrical power budget required onboard and the complexity of aircraft electric power systems (EPS) that generate, store, manage, and distribute the power. Currently, significant changes are observed during the transition from conventional to more-electric aircraft (MEA) in which only some systems transferred to electrical energy sourcing, and towards all-electric aircraft (AEA) which also has an electrified propulsion system. This keynote will discuss the state-of-the-art EPS technologies, key challenges and trends, including architectures, power sources and voltage levels, EPS control and management, power quality, protections. Particular attention will be paid to the technologies required for main EPS components, including energy sources, power electronics, electric machines, circuit breakers and others, and to the review of the challenges and potential solutions towards meeting EPS requirements for future electrified flying vehicles.
