Arijit Banerjee was selected as the winner of the 2013 Applied Power Electronics Conference Outstanding Presentation. He was selected for the work titled "Control Architecture for a Doubly-fed Induction Machine Propulsion Drive." Banerjee, the lead author worked with Michael S. Tomovich, Steven B. Leeb and James L. Kirtley. Professors Leeb and Kirtley are Banerjee's supervisors.
Banerjee is a second year doctoral student in LEES where he is working on reducing the size of power electronics for electrical machine drives using doubly fed machines for wide speed range applications. The paper presented a control architecture for the proposed drive.
