III. Old
business:
There was no old business.
IV. Subcommittee
reports
1) Prize papers: The following papers were selected to receive the EMC Prize Paper Awards:
First Place:
“Quantitative Evaluation of Induction Motor Broken Rotor Bars by Means of Electrical Signature Analysis”
by A. Bellini, F. Filippetti, G. Franceschini, C. Tassoni, and G.B. Kliman
Second
Place:
“Performance of PM assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor for High Efficiency and Wide Constant Power Operation”
by
S. Morimoto, M. Sanada, and Y. Takeda
Third
Place:
“Axial-Flux Permanent Magnet Motor for Direct-Drive Elevator System without Machine Room”
by
R. Ficheux, F. Crescimbini, O. Honorati
2) Standard subcommittee:
Report from Ahmed El-Antably, sub-committee Chairman.
Ahmed
gave a report on the progress of IEEE 114, Single Phase Induction Machine
Standard, and also on IEEE 839, Hermetically Sealed Motors.
The ballot on IEEE 114 did not go through and was modified and
resubmitted. IEEE 839 was
withdrawn and will be submitted next year.
A concern was raised by Thomas Lipo why EMC members are not receiving the
ballot to vote on it. EMC chairman
needs to find out how the standard can be seen by the EMC members.
Ahmed
asked to retire from his position as Standard Sub-Committee Chairman. He was thanked with a round of applause for his years of
service. Anyone interested to
succeed him should contact Bruno Lequesne (bruno.Lequesne@delphiauto.com).
3) Awards subcommittee:
No report was given.
4)
Transactions paper review: In
2000, EMC has received 80 papers for Transactions and Prize Paper consideration
from IAS Annual Meeting. All papers
have been sent out for reviewing. Complete
results for 48 papers have been received. 3
papers are accepted without mandatory changes, 28 accepted with mandatory
changes, and 17 were rejected. Partial
reviewing results for 32 papers have been received.
5) Education subcommittee:
Ahmed El-Antably gave a report where GE did not pay any money for
education, same with Emerson. SMMA
might be willing to give some money for education.
6) Session
Chairmen reports: The session
chairmen gave their reports on the presentation of the papers in their sessions.
Papers which were not presented will be disqualified from the
