Vladimir Blasko
United Technologies Research Center, USA
Dr. Vladimir Blasko, holds the position of a Senior Fellow at United Technologies Research Center, USA. His responsibilities include setting research direction, strategies and road maps, sourcing funding for projects and following projects through execution, and establishing collaboration with research organizations and universities in the USA and abroad. Among his accomplishments are forming the Power Electronic System Group and building three laboratories. Until 2007, he was with Otis Elevator Company where he initiated and lead development of a new generation of high performance regenerative drives. Before joining Otis he was with Rockwell Automation-Allen Bradley Company for seven and a half years where he worked on research and advanced drives development. For the twelve years prior to that, he was at the Research Institute of Koncar Company - Zagreb, Croatia in Automatic Control and Power Electronics department.
During the academic year of 1988-1989 as the recipient of IREX scholarship, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Dr. Blasko published more than 35 papers and holds more than 20 patents; he is IEEE Fellow, Adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Zagreb, Croatia and a member of Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering. Over last 7 years he has served as associate editor on the IEEE Industrial Power Converter Committee. His primary areas of research interest are power electronics, modern AC drives, distributed energy stems, intelligent power management, and applied modern control theory and technology.
Abstract
The internal model principle, originating from control community, will be introduced first as it provides a general framework for tracking and elimination of (a) DC type of signals (b) harmonic - sine and cosine signals and... [ view full abstract ]
