Strategic Technology Group LLC announces workshop on Simulation, Design and Analysis of
Brushless Permanent Magnet Motors and Motor Drive Systems
McLean, Virginia, May 09, 2011
Strategic Technology Group LLC (STG) based in the metro DC area has announced a workshop on
Simulation, Design and Analysis of Brushless Permanent Magnet Motors and Motor Drive Systems. The
workshop will be held on June 8 and 9 in McLean, Virginia. The workshop is intended for beginning and
intermediate level of learning.
The design process of a brushless permanent magnet motor system is inherently iterative as the tug of
war erupts between motor, power electronics, software, mechanical and manufacturing engineers. A final
product must satisfy all engineers without failing to meet performance and cost targets. This workshop
covers a number of practical aspects in the design of brushless permanent magnet motor systems.
In the motor design, the workshop will include basic design considerations for various rotor and stator
types for brushless permanent magnet motors, slot design, magnet size, number of poles, operating
temperature, skew, selection of materials, winding layout etc. The workshop will cover waveform and
performance evaluation, speed/torque curve generation, EMF, phase currents, efficiency estimates, loss
calculations, comparisons of various designs etc. We will also discuss analytical and, finite element
methods (FEA) , thermal analysis, example simulations (using PSpice and/or Simulink), mechanical and
manufacturing design considerations.

Under Simulation, Algorithm and Software Engineering, the workshop will cover simulation, algorithm and
software development methodology and tools for brushless permanent magnet motor systems. Under
algorithm development, we will cover the principles of FOC (field oriented control, or vector control),
followed by various advanced implementation techniques for high performance and energy efficiency
including predictive current control, decoupling control, space vector modulation, field weakening
operation, as well as modeling and simulation using PSpice. This section will also cover control system
analysis and compensation; open loop transfer function, stability criteria, Type 1, 2 and 3 Amplifiers, and K
factor technique for stability analysis if time permits.
Under Power Stage Design, the workshop will focus on power stage design and achieving the desired
performance from PM machines when integrated with an Inverter. This section will cover selection of power
devices, PCB layout, safety, EMI/EMC, environmental and reliability considerations, thermal analysis,
mechanical and manufacturing considerations.
STG has routinely held workshops in the field of electrical machines and power electronics in the US and
abroad with tremendous success. Past participants have included well known names such as Ansys Inc,
Emerson Technology Center, Semikron, Honeywell, Texas Instruments, Indian Institute of Technology etc.
The attendees have traditionally provided a very strong positive feedback for these workshops.
Chief product architect, Mr. Duraikkannan of Hasoft Power Electronics attended one of the workshops and
stated “The workshop conducted by Strategic Technology Group dealt with topics of high practical
importance. The speakers are extremely competent. Rakesh is a consummate speaker and teacher and
his presentations were very well received with active participation from the audience. The design and
simulation methods are highly useful for practicing Power Electronics design and development Engineers.
Rakesh presents great correlation between practice and theory. I highly recommend these workshops.”
The cost of the workshop is $795 per person before May 15. After May 15, the cost increases to $895 per
person. Discounts are available for multiple registrations.
This workshop will be presented by Rakesh Dhawan. He is a twenty two years veteran of motors and motor
drive Industry. He has developed critical understanding and published on a wide range of motors, motor
drives, high frequency electromagnetic components, electric vehicles and switch mode power systems. He
has co-authored over 25 publications in various refereed journals and conference proceedings and is an
inventor on 7 issued or pending US patents. He has served on the Technical committee of the Applied
Power Electronics Conference (APEC). He received the B. Tech (Electrical Engineering) degree from
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India. He received his MS degrees from University of
Minnesota under the tutelage of Power Electronics pioneer Prof. Ned Mohan.

He received his MBA from Old Dominion University. He has been directly responsible for over twenty five
successful product launches in his career many of them involving brushless permanent magnet motor
systems. Rakesh has conducted several workshops in the recent past in the field of motors and motor
drives. His interests include brushless permanent magnet motor systems, light electric vehicles, electric
bicycles, switch mode power supplies, solar inverters, simulation, statistics, project management and new
and ultra-fast product development methodologies.
Rakesh is a high energy individual with a difference; he combines technology excellence, leadership and
professional management skills with his inborn entrepreneurial instincts. Rakesh is a member of IEEE and
the Entrepreneur’s Organization (Washington-DC Chapter) and is very keen on nurturing innovation and
entrepreneurial talent in the field of technology development and management.
