From 2020-2022 he was with Moog, Inc. as a Power Electronics Engineer in Blacksburg, VA, USA. In 2022, he joined Otis Elevator Company as a Senior Electrical Engineer in Farmington, CT, USA. His current focus is the design of motor drives and motor drive safety systems for global elevator applications. John is a member of the IEEE, the founding Chair of the Connecticut IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) chapter, and the Chair of the 2024 PELS Day Committee.
Methods for the Evaluation of Electric Machines and Power Electronic Systems
Traditionally, electric machines and motor drives are evaluated on a motor dynamometer setup including the test/machine and drive and a load machine. This presentation shows the advantages and drawbacks of this setup, and shows some alternative methods of evaluation such as Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (P-HIL). This test setup is extended to power electronics systems such as microgrid or grid with high power electronic content from the motor and drive pair baseline.
