Driving Next - Gen Mobility & Power Solutions
AMPE4RE is a young and dynamic research lab dedicated to advancing motor drives, EMI/EMC, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control technologies. With a focus on addressing India-specific challenges, we emphasize research projects that have practical and industrial relevance. To date, four PhD scholars have graduated from the lab, enhancing our growth and reputation. As we broaden our horizons, we are on the lookout for exceptional research scholars, motivated Master's degree candidates, and interns to join us in our mission to drive innovation in power electronics and sustainable mobility solutions.
Dr. J. Kalaiselvi leads the AMPE4RE Lab with expertise in power electronics and motor drives. She earned her B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Periyar University and her M.E. in Power Electronics and Drives from Anna University. In 2015, she completed her Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. Currently, she serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Ropar, where she actively mentors research focused on India’s evolving power and mobility needs.
Her research interests are centered on advancing electric vehicle technology, particularly in the following areas:
(a) Conduction Mode EMI Issues in Si and SiC Inverter-Fed Drives: Investigating electromagnetic interference (EMI) challenges in silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC) inverters used in electric vehicles and other applications, including both two-level and dual-two-level inverter configurations.
(b) Conducted EMI Issues and Fault Tolerant Control in Solid-State Transformers: Focusing on the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid and microgrids through solid-state transformers, with an emphasis on addressing conducted EMI challenges and developing robust fault-tolerant topologies.
(c) Conduction Mode EMI Issues in SiC Inverter-Fed BLDC Drives: Exploring EMI issues specific to brushless DC (BLDC) drives powered by SiC inverters, crucial for the efficient operation of electric vehicles.
(d) Fault Detection and Tolerant Control in BLDC Motor Drives: Developing advanced techniques for fault detection and implementing tolerant control systems in BLDC motor drives to enhance the reliability and performance of electric vehicles.
