Project leader’s report

Project overview:

The integration of motors and power electronics has formed a new generation of motor equipment and systems, which have become crucial to the national economy. Industrial simulation software is a fundamental tool for analyzing and designing motor equipment and systems. With the significant increase in complexity and system scale due to the extensive introduction of power electronics, time scales have expanded to the nanosecond level. This has led to issues such as divergence in multi-time-scale solutions, slow computation speeds for large-scale systems, difficulty in multidisciplinary model collaboration, and lack of collaborative innovation and sharing. The project aims to develop multi-time-scale industrial simulation software for motor equipment and systems, focusing on key technologies such as simulation and modeling, to support the independent innovation and development of motor equipment and systems in critical fields like new energy generation and rail transportation.
