Call for Papers
The 2018 IEEE 9th International Symposium on Sensorless Control for Electrical Drives (SLED) will be held in Helsinki, Finland, on September 13-14, 2018. It will present the latest advancements and future perspectives of sensorless drives. The symposium will bring together international experts from both the academia and industry. Keynote presentations, social functions, and a technical tour at ABB Drives, Helsinki, will be included in the symposium program.
Topics of Interests
The symposium solicits original technical papers. Topic areas for consideration include:
- Signal-injection-based and back-emf-based sensorless methods
- Sensorless self-commissioning and parameter adaptation
- Sensorless methods for special machines (multiphase, bearingless, etc.)
- Design of electrical machines for sensorless operation
- Replacing or augmenting existing sensors (current, voltage, temperature) with observers
- Condition monitoring for the converter, motor, or load without extra sensors
- Sensorless and signal-injection-based methods applied to grid-connected converters
- Emerging applications for sensorless drives
- Role of emerging technologies (such as industrial internet and 5G) in control, monitoring, and self-commissioning of sensorless drives
