The Power Electronics Society (PELS), Industrial Applications Society (IAS), Power & Energy Society (PES) & Industrial Electronics Society (IES) chapters in the IEEE Montreal Section cordially invite you to a technical seminar presented by Mr. Daniel Lanoix, Head of Product Integrity with Bombardier Transportation Americas. Please register using the link provided below.

Seminar Abstract
The use of electric power has encountered an impressive evolution during the past two decades with the use of high power electronics and digital controls in the field of rail transportation.  The rail transportation field must marry requirements of severe environmental conditions and difficult mechanical interfaces.  For example, traction and dynamic braking must rely on wheel/rail adherence to provide service performance.  Traction and dynamic braking controls must be designed to maximum efficiency in diverse and ever-changing climate and load conditions.  This seminar presents an overview of different propulsion system configurations for mainline rolling stock, metros and light rail systems. The application of “Variable Voltage – Variable Frequency” Inverters to Traction Motors will be presented.
