GRAPES: Bringing Power Electronics to theElectric Power GridAlan Mantooth & Roger DougalGRAPES Center Directors
About the CenterGRAPES, the NSF Center for GRid-connected
Advanced Power Electronic Systems, wasfounded in 2009 as an NSF Industry/UniversityCooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) withsites at the University of Arkansas and theUniversity of South Carolina. The mission ofthe GRAPES Center is to accelerate the adop-tion and insertion of power electronics into theelectric grid to enable smart power flow andsubsequently improve system stability, flexibility,robustness, and economy. This mission is accom-plished by focusing on the following main objectives: Developing new technologies for advanced power elec-
tronic systems in the areas supporting grid-connected distributedenergy resources, power conditioning and routing devices, andintelligent load-side devices,
Developing the software and tools for controlling embedded-and grid-connected power electronics to benefit the grid as wellas controlled loads,
Educating engineers who understand the power electronic tech-nologies important to the member companies and industry ingeneral.Nine professors are involved in the centers research, supported
by two full-time and two part-time operations staff. More than fifty
graduate and undergraduate students are associatedwith GRAPES projects. In the first three years o
the center, GRAPES has graduated over a dozenstudents at all levels, many of whom have goneon to work at member companies immediatelyafter graduating.GRAPES follows the traditional I/UCRC mod
el in which companies membership funds arepooled to support the research that is conductedby university researchers. Representatives of each
member company constitute the Industrial AdvisoryBoard (IAB) and this board meets face-to-face twice
a year, and via teleconference numerous other times todiscuss project ideas, strategic goals for the center, learn
about ongoing work and decide which future research should bepursued. Currently, GRAPES nineteen industrial members are funding 14 projects.
About the ResearchOne of the strengths of GRAPES research program is the breadthof expertise available from its researchers, which covers the vasarray of issues that need to be addressed in order to create successful power electronics. GRAPES researchers have expertise in areasfrom power packaging and simulation, to circuit design and

controls, all the way to power system analysis and integration andtesting. This vertically integrated approach improves the quality ofthe research and expands the scope of successful projects. It allowsstudents to experience the system-level context of their researcheven if they are working at the device level. For example, packag-ing students working with circuit design students creates a situationwhere real-world constraints such as thermal management, noiseimmunity, and parasitic analysis are all properly considered. Thisapproach ensures that research outputs consider the issues thatmust be addressed in order to create viable products for the mem-ber companies.
GRAPES researchers have accomplished great things in the lastthree years. Some of the completed projects include:
Developed packaging structures, materials and characteristics fopower modules carrying devices rated up to 10 kV. This improvesthe voltage and current handling capability of the power modulesused in power electronic systems.
Built a 2 kW prototype of a smart green power node, a universal power router and energy management device for residential applications, including writing predictive algorithmfor system control.
Developed a software tool for layout synthesis of power modulethat allows tradeoffs of temperature vs. electrical parasitics for amore optimal layout.
Completed work to integrate energy storage into a distributionsystem with high PV penetration, including analysis of variou

Directions of Power Electronics
The past decade has seen some significant advances in widebandgap semiconductor devices, including commercialization ofSiC and GaN. Further material advances have aided in the devel-opment of the power electronic packaging to achieve levels of
power density at the module level that have not been previouslyattained. This becomes still more impressive with the advances insingle chip gate drivers and power supplies on a chip. The intel-ligentor smart integrated power electronic module is a reality inthe laboratory and should become a commercial reality in thenear term. The significance of this integration is that costs willcome down and reliability will increase in much the same way asoccurred in integrated circuits in the 1980s and 1990s. Continuing
advances will be required in all of these areas, but the researchcommunities in both industry and academia are engaged to makethis happen.
New advances are expected in SiC and GaN devices includinghigher blocking voltages, higher current ratings, and higher yields amaterial quality is improved. New advances in power electronicmodule packaging are also right around the corner including newpassivation materials, thermal management techniques, and wirebondless interconnect methods. The realization of wide bandgapIC design will enable still tighter module-level integration of driversprotection circuitry, command and control circuitry within the mod
ules in those applications where desirable.All of these advances at the technology level will most certainlybe followed by advances in system level controls that will take ad-vantage of new capabilities. The growing concentration of poweelectronics in the electric power grid will require ever more careful coordination of power electronic-based assets, while also offering opportunities for higher penetration of storage, renewables, andmicrogrid concepts.

Joint IEEE IAS/PELS/IES GermanChapter Meeting at Universityof Paderborn and dSPACETraditionally in the week before the SPS/IPC/Drives trade fair inNuremeberg, Germany the German Joint Chapter has its third chap-
ter meeting of the year.This time the Chapter had been invited by Prof. Joachim Bcker,Head of the Chair of Electrical Drives at the Paderborn Universtiy(LEA) and by Dr. Herbert Hanselmann, founder and CEO of dSPACE.
The meeting started on Thursday with a visit at the Heinz NixdorfForum, the world biggest computern museum. The museum, giv-ing an overview over the development of information technoligiesstarting from the Babylonians to future trends, itself is a worth a trip(if you plan to visit: please calculate two to three hours of denseinformation).
Thereafter the official part of the meeting startet at the dSPACEheadquarters in Paderborn. Dr. Herbert Hanselmann and Prof. AxelMertens, Chair of the Chapter welcomed the participants.
Dr. Hanselmann gave an overview of the history and activities ofthe company. dSPACE is a company driven by engineers and tech-
nologies. Starting with DSP based rapid control prototyping (RCP)systems as a tool for control engineers they adopted and enhancedthe Matlab toolchain in the early 90ies setting standards in controlengineering. One of the biggest sectors meanwhile is the HIL testsystems for mainly automotive electronic control units. Developmenttools for electric drives however, have been in focusfrom the begin-ning. After a short tour around the newly buildt headquarter we gotan overview over current trends in development tools for (automo-tive) E-drives such as RCP systems such as the ones widley referedin the articles in the transactions of our societies as well as in HILsimulators for motors and batteries.
The first day ended with a reception at the dSPACE facilities, achance to talk with the hosts and refreshen some of the contacts,especially between our regular particitpants.
The second day was located at the facilities of the University ofPaderborn. Prof. Joachim Bcker again welcomed the audience andgave an overview over the activies of the Electrical Drives Department(LEA). Research topics beeing modelling and control of electrical drives,power electronic systems focusing on high efficiency, automotive drives

(control of the IPMSM in a disc configuration) and self organizing sys-tems focusing on the energy management of hybrid vehicles.
As usual within a meeting of the Joint German Chapter thisoverview was followed by a session of technicalpresentations, forming a seminar within the meet-ing. Wilhelm Peters (LEA) talked about controlstrategies for automotive e-drives. Challenges bee-ing the ratio of 16 kHz switching to 1 kHz funda-mental frequency of the currents. Depending onthe speed and torque the approach is either basedon maximum effiency or on a maximum torqueper flux stratey.
Michael Leuer and Klaus Peter (both LEA)presented a scaleable simulation toolset for thedesign of e-drive components in a simulatedsystem environment. Modeling depth can beselcected for every component. As an example,Mr Leuer compared the results of a mean val-ue model of the electrical drive compared to aswithing modell considering the discrete effectof the power electronic.
Frank Mertens (dSPACE) gave an overview overstate of the art of the available development toolsfor e-drive based automotive drive trains, includinghigh voltage batteries, electric motors within thetraction system and energy mangement systems.
Matthias Deter (dSPACE) closed this sessionwith an insight into FPGA based simulations toolsfor e-drives. One of the challenges here for anOEM beeing the collection of the electrical dataof the motors, as these are in the responsibility of
their suppliers. One approach here is to importthe data directly out of the FEM models of themachines, enabling a dq model as well as angulareffects such as cogging.
After two years of service, the chapter boardhad to be re-elected within the IEEE business partthe meeting. Prof. Mertens (chairman) and Dr. Kiel(vice chair) resigned from their active positions ofseveral years.
As all chapters members had been contacted by mail or by letter, the result was not availablebefore 30th of November. Meanwhile the newboard has been confirmed: Chair: Dr.-Ing. Omid Forati Kashani Vice Chair: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mark Bakran
Secretary: Dr.-Ing Andreas Wagener Treasurer: Prof. Dr. Claus Krger
Additional officers are Dr.-Ing. Stephan Beineke (membership officer) and Ingo Pletschen (Public relations chair)

Everywhere in the world, where engineers are developing solu-tions for automotive, avioninc or industrial embedded and controlsystems, dSPACE systems are used to speed up the development.
Applications are around the development V, starting from con-trol systems development even without real hardware involved.dSPACE is a synonym for RCP sytems as well as for HIL testingof ECUs.
Founded in 1989 by 4 people in Paderborn out of the Univer-
sity, it is now present all around the world mainly close to thecentres of automotive deveolpment. The headcount is meanwhile1000 persons 800 of them in Paderborn and still hiring.
