Part 1 by A. Jaecklin
The field of high power applications has recently experienced a strong push
from advances in device development. On one hand, Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistors (IGBT) in the form of hybrid modules are continuously
increasing their limits in current („ 1500 A) and voltage (up to 4500 V).
In the highly demanding market of traction applications, reliability has
become on of the crucial issues, however. On the other hand, based on the
classical Gate-Turn-Off thyristor (GTO), a new element has been conceived,
called the Integrated Gate Commutated Switch (IGCT). This device implies a
rigourously reduced leakage inductance combined with a gate drive unit
implemented into the structure. Applying a hard gate drive (hard driven
GTO) opens the way to high voltages (> 10 kV) by means of multiple series
connection as well as to reduced losses due to snubberless operation.
Essentially, these two approaches are complementary.

Part 3 by L. Lorenz
Power semiconductor components, including their further development as
monolithic power ICs, and hybrid system integration are the driving forces
behind advances in power electronics systems, particularly with regard to
energy savings, improved control response, noise redustion, size and weight
reduction and cost minimization. The first attempt at hybrid integration
was the implementation of IPM's, ASIPM's and PIM's. The PIMs and ASIPMs
currently known consists of a package containing all the power switches
including brake chopper with drive/protection circuitry. However, today's
IPMs, ASIPMs have several advantages concerning interface, cost and system
requirements. As a result of all these disadvantages, these solutions have
no future and will be superseded by system integration in the medium term.
This paper highlights the new approaches to system integration based on
chip level.

Needs for solutions and new areas of applications for power electronics
by Prof. Lars Gertmar, ABB Corporate Research and Lund Institute of Technology
The keynote speech will partly serve as a visitor',s guide for the
delegates. Based on available information on EPE'97 papers and some
previous ones, some of the achievements will highlighted as specific
examples and as an introduction to the two following sections of the
speech.
The second part will cover the trends in some societies and the potential
applications of the power electronics in Transmission & Distribution, T&D
and Adjustable-Speed Drives, ASDs. There are challenges to generate
electrical power from various sources to transmit & distribute power as
well as to save energy. The competition between electromechanics and power
electronics will also be a subject as well as hybrid solutions, especially
in T&D.
Finally, the author hope to challenge the audience to focus their future
work not only on incremental steps on existing and nearby technologies but
also on paradigm shifts towards compact, light-weight, easy-to-install,
low-emission, compatible and sustainable solutions based on power electronic
s.

The electric vehicle, by Prof. Hans Kahlen, University of Kaiserslautern,
Germany and Prof. Gaston Maggetto, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
The interest and importance of electric and hybrid vehicles is nowadays in
a very strong promising phase. The state of California has defined by law
an introduction programme imposing 10 % sales of electric vehicles by 2003
and 25% of hybrid vehicles i.e. a market of respectfully 300.000 electric
and 750.000 hybrid vehicles. Other states are following the same
regulations.
In Europe, countries such as France, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, ... are
also demonstrating big interest through a number of programmes going from
pure market penetration up to R&D activities.
Japanese car manufacturers seems to engage a competitive action against the
american 'big three" colleagues. In such a contest, it is clear that
technology has reached a high grade of maturity but undergoes in the same
time a rapid evolution. The scope of this keynote is to describe and
discuss the state of the art in the field of motorisation, power
electronics, converters, charging infrastructure and surely batteries and
all types of energy sources for hybrid vehicles.
The authors are well-known experts in the field. They will provide basic
information, more specialised information and show the way for the
necessary R&D activities such as for demonstration activities

Impact of integration on power electronic design
Animators: Jean Marie Peter, SEE and Consulting; Prof. Philippe Lataire,
Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The data processing job was completely transformed by the signal
integration. The power integration is coming slowly, because there are a
lot of specific problems in power (Thermal, current density, mutual
component interaction, cost, etcŠ), but will arrive in the market. What
could be the consequences in power electronics.

progress has already been done with the hard driven GTO called GCT. What
are the main advantages and disadvantages of each components, what could be
the optimal application field?
Teaching
Animator: Dr. Richard Duke, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
The occasion of EPE brings the rare opportunity for international
comparisons of power electronics educational systems. Each country of
group of closely associated countries has developped its own unique
educational system and power electronics education has developed and
flourished in different ways to meet varying needs. What position does
(should) power electronics hold in the undergraduate (graduate) programme?
Should power electronics be a required course for all EE's, for all EE's
specialising in power or is an elective arrangement more appropriate?
There is a commonly held perception that power electronics education is
often inadequate, especially with respect to practical experience in
instructional laboratories. Should lectures and laboratories be an
integrated package or are separate laboratory courses more appropriate?
Are the traditional electrical machnies courses still appropriate or should
there be more effort to integrate power electronics into such courses?
To initiate discussion of these question, and others, some brief results
from international survey of power electronics education in Australasian
and North American Universities will be presented.

POST CONFERENCE TRIPS
Post Conference Technical Trips
1. Visit at Hydroelectric power stations
In the river Nidelva, which runs through the city of Trondheim, the energy
company Trondheim Energiverk (TEV) operate seven of its hydroelectric power
stations. A technical tour to two of these stations will be arranged.
Although the river is regulated for hydroelectric power production it is
considered as one of Norway's best fishing sites of Salmon with a record of
catch-up of up to 1 ton per km/year along the stretch where fishing is
allowed.
Nedre Leirfoss is a power station which was put into operation in 1910. The
installed capacity is 12 MW and the average production is 67 GWh/year.
TEV has a small museum at Nedre Leirfossen which shows the evolution of the
technology at their power stations from 1910 until today. The Brattsberg
power station is a typical example of the new generation Norwegian power
stations and was put in operation in 1977. It is located inside the
mountain and water is led through tunnels (not pipe-lines) to the turbines.
The installed capacity is 120 MW and the average production is 600
GWh/year.
The participants will be picked up by bus in the centre of Trondheim at
10.00 on Thursday 11 Sept. A light lunch will be provided at Brattsberg
Power station. After the visit, at 13.00, the participants will be
transported directly to Trondheim Airport, Værnes, by bus.
Fee for the tour: 100 NOK
2. Visiting Siemens A/S, Trondheim,
Siemens A/S is a worldwide company with sites in 181 countries. Siemens A/S
was established in Trondheim since 1908. For the time being Siemens has
2750 employees in Norway and 830 out of these are in Trondheim. Siemens A/S
in Trondheim has two factories. One produces electric heaters and the
other produces middle voltage equipment, motor control cubicles and power
electronic circuits.
Siemens A/S power electronics department is in Trondheim. This department
is a competence centre for power electronics in Siemens A/S. The Power
Electronics department is specialised in UPS, rectifiers for aluminium
industry and converters for railway power supply.
On this visit to Siemens A/S here in Trondheim you will get the opportunity
to get a presentation of Siemens A/S in Trondheim especially the Power
Electronics Department and to visit the factory. After lunch there will be
a guided tour to Stavne converter station which as 2 MVA, 16 2/3 Hz
converter for railway power supply. Siemens A/S was the contractor to this
converter station.
The bus will collect you at Trondheim centre at 09:00 and return at 14:00
to Trondheim Airport, Værnes.
Fee for the tour: 100 NOK
3. Train trip to Adtranz near Oslo
Adtranz is organizing transportation from Trondheim to Oslo by train. We
start in Trondheim about 8.00 in the morning, then we will pass the
mountain plateaus and see the glaciers in full daylight. There will be a
draw, one of our guests will be invited to stay in the locomotive from
Oppdal to Dombås. This is over the largest mountain plateau, where also the
speed is fastest.
We will present our locomotives in the train as we go along with emphasis
on the EL 18 locomotive of our train. Of couse we will tell a lot about the
tilting trains. We just got one order of16 (!) trains to the Norwegians
State Railways of one Billion NOK. In Norway straight rails are rare, 80%
of the distance is a curve. So tilting trains is the only way to increase
the speed. There is not enough trafic to allow for new railways.
We will serve coffee and later on lunch in the train.
The first EL 18 locomotive was delivered from the Strømmen factory of
Adtranz Norway in the Summer of 1996. It is the first of a series of 22
locomotives, all will be made before 1998. Both passengers and goods will
be pulled by these new locomotives, and a lot of more than 30 years old
locomotives will be replaced. EL 18 is a Norwegian modified version of the
Loc 2000 family. The specifications of the Norwegian State Railways are
among the strictest in the world due to rough weather, temperature
extreemes and blowing snow particles. In addition there are problems with
condensation in the long tunnels.
The locomotive is made with welded steel and some copper to avoid rust. The
cabin for the engineer is made with a low weight glasfibre sandwich design.
The boggies are radial controlled and follow the rails with low friction,
better utilization of the traction power and less wear of the wheels and
the rails than the older locomotives. Robust induction motors controlled by
GTO voltage source inverters are Adtranz standard technology.
Also the rectifier converters are like this, providing four quadrant
sinusoidal 16 2/3 Hz input current. The maximum power at the wheels is 5.88
MW and the maximum speed is 200 km/hour.
The train will stop close to the Strømmen factory just outside Oslo, at
about 14:40. There we will invite you to a special press conference where
we will disclose a new train! Our international EPE '97 guests will improve
the atmosphere of the presentation, so we will both benefit from this.
We will provide buses for you that will drive you from Strømmen through
Oslo downtown to the airport. You will arrive at the Oslo airport Fornebu
at about 17:00.
Fee for the tour including train ticket and bus in Oslo: 420 NOK
