Increase Your Knowledge

Course Faculty

Industry relies critically on the ability

to move systems and control power.
The conversion of electrical energy
to torque and motion has been the
purview of motors for more than
a century. In the last 30 years, the
introduction of power electronic drives
with motors has led to new design
opportunities; indeed, the increased
integration of drives and machines in
recent years has created a quantum leap
in productivity, efficiency, and system
performance.

Thomas M. Jahns, PhD, Professor,

Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering, University of
WisconsinMadison. Previously with
GE Corporate R&D and Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Professor
Jahns has research interests in electric
machines, drive system analysis and
control, and power electronic modules.

During this course, you will learn

from recognized machines and
drives experts. You will gain a solid
introduction to the rapidly expanding
field with well-founded fundamentals,
practical application examples, and inclass demonstrations.

Who Should Attend

Anyone new to the field of electrical
rotating machines and drives and
those desiring a refresher from the
perspective of actual designs from
actual practitioners will benefit by
attending this state-of-the-art course.
You will find this course valuable if you
work in the fields of:
Appliance drives
Cranes and elevators
Precision motion control
Renewable/alternative energy
Electric/hybrid-electric vehicles
Autonomous vehicle control
Aerospace, marine, and military
vehicles

Robert D. Lorenz, PhD, Professor,

Department of Mechanical
Engineering, University of Wisconsin
Madison. Professor Lorenz spent 10
years with Gleason Works, Rochester,
New York, where he was R&D staff
group leader in product development
and automation systems. His research
interests include high-precision and
high-performance real-time controls,
drive system design, and advanced
sensor technologies.
Michael Ryan, PhD, President, Ryan
Consulting, Los Angeles, California.
Dr. Ryan is involved in the application
of power electronics and controls,
particularly for alternative energy
systems. He has had a wide range of
industrial experience with positions at
Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems,
Capstone Turbine, General Electric
Corporate R&D and Defense Systems
Divisions, Automated Dynamics, Otis
Elevator, and Hamilton Standard.
