Development of Korea's First MMC-Based MV Drive System with HD KSOE
@ 2025.01
Korea's First MMC-based Medium-Voltage drive system has been successfully developed by PCSL in Seoul National university, ECSL in Kyungpook National University, and HD KSOE. This project has been carried out over three years as a university-industry collaboration project. Dongjoon Kim, Jaeyeon Park, Seungjun Lee, and Seongmin Moon from PCSL have actively participated in this project. The EtherCAT-based MMC control system and MMC control algorithm for motor drives were designed at PCSL, Seoul National University.
