1. Bio-Data Summary Dr. Kamal Al-Haddad started his career as a Researcher and Professor at "Département d’ingénierie" of the "Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR)". He participated actively during three years from June 1987 till June 1990, in the teaching of undergraduate and graduate (Master's Program in Power Electronics) courses at UQTR. With a rewarding academic and research experience obtained from UQTR, he joined in June 1990 the "Département de génie électrique" at the "École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS)". At ETS, he formed his own research group with the assistance of his earlier graduate students registered at UQTR and later with students registered at "Ecole polytechnique de Montréal". In 1992, founded the "GRÉPCI" (Groupe de Recherche en Électronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle: "Research Group on Power Electronics and Industrial Controls") with four of his colleagues at ETS. Today, the GRÉPCI has about forty research personnel, including professors, researchers and graduate students. In 1993, Professor Al-Haddad was named the first Director of the Graduate Program called Master's Program in Technologies of Systems: "program de maîtrise en technologie des systèmes". He was appointed in 1997 to the position of the "First" Director of Ph.D. Program in Engineering: "Directeur du programme de doctorat en génie”. During the last twenty years, Dr. Al-Haddad has participated actively in the teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses and notably in conducting research in the field of Electrical Energy Conversion through Static Power Converters using Power Semiconductor Devices. His research work is concerned with several aspects on the problems caused by the use of electrical energy: specifically those on the conversion and efficient use of electric energy suited to specific industrial loads. He has succeeded in establishing and maintaining firm links with Québec and Canadian industries. In 2002, he was awarded the Tier 1 Canada Research chair in electric energy conversion and power electronics. Since then, he worked on the development of new technology to enhance the power quality in ordre to make a better use of sustainable energy by pushing forward new technologies to save energy. During the last six years, several new control techniques have been introduced to power converters in order to reduce their harmful impact on the nearby network and equipements, one spinoff company is developing new efficient street lights. Moreover, during the same period, professor Al-Haddad has 45 journal papers and 159 conference papers published in highly reputed transactions and international conferences. He has one patent with exclusive licence to Pratt and whitney Canada, two technologies transferred to Canadian industry, guided seven completed PhD students, 11 Master’s students, 42 undergraduate trainees and 5 post docorate fellows. Currently, there are nine PhD, three Masters, four trainees, one post docoral fellow and one professional who are supported and working in our Canada Research Chair laboratory. It is to be noted that Dr. Al-Haddad during the past six years has obtained, as the Principal Researcher or Co-researcher, research grants totalling 7 927 550 $: a sum of 1 320 000 $ coming from industries and a sum of 6 607 550 $ coming from different Government Research Granting Agencies. His annual average research grant during the last seven years

- 6 -

has been 1 132 507 $, of which a sum of 188 571 $ from industries and a sum of 943 936 $ from Québec and Canadian Government Research Granting Agencies. 2. Main Research Contributions 2.1 New Theoretical Concepts

Since the beginning of his career as Professor, Dr. Al-Haddad has been interested in the field of Energy Conversion Technologies using static power converters. His interests are both at the theoretical level, the conceptual aspects of power conversion, novel methodologies of modelling and simulation on digital computers and at the practical level, the technological aspects concerning the development and implementation of new topologies of static power converters adapted to different industrial applications.

During the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, his R&D work was focussed on the integration of the principle of soft switching of power semiconductor switches in static power converters for specific applications. The concept of soft switching results in low switching losses thereby improving the efficiency of power conversion of static power converters. He worked on the different problems relating to the high frequency operation of power converters in order to develop compact and light equipment. In this aspect of his research, the work that he did in his group was complementary to the research work done on the same theme by several research groups in the world. In Europe and in France, in particular, at the "Institut Nationale Polytechnique de Toulouse", the research group led by Professor Henry Foch, worked on the principle of Zero-Voltage Switching. In USA, the research group headed by Professor Deepak Divan, and that led by Professor Fred Lee worked on the same topic. Dr. Al-Haddad’s work was especially concerned with the research and development of new topologies for medium and high power DC-DC converters and DC-AC inverters, using medium frequency converters. The work of Professor Lee was in low power high frequency DC-DC converters and that of Professor Divan was in the development of very high power DC-AC inverters. Dr. Al-Haddad has proposed several new control laws adapted to series resonant and series-parallel resonant converters. He has developed several dedicated simulation programmes adapted to these types of converter designs. He has published about sixty journal and conference papers on this subject (please see list of references section). fifteen graduate students have worked on various topics relating to this novel technology at Master's and Doctoral levels under his guidance and supervision. 2.2 Major Contributions at International Level Dr. Al-Haddad is one of the pioneers in the field of soft switching techniques and in the development of power electronic converters using resonant techniques (to ensure lossless switching of power semiconductor switches). Based on his work on series and parallel converter topologies and their specific control laws, there have been a number of industrial contracts in Europe and in Canada: Lectra Systems in Bordeau, France, Dynatron in Montréal, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa, Canada, Nortel Networks, and Armstrong Inc, Montreal. The converters developed from these industrial collaborations are used in several applications: in photovoltaic energy conversion systems operating as independent power sources; in power

supplies for industrial lasers; in power supplies for discharge lamps in lighting; in power supplies for induction heating in paper industry and in power supplies used in the manufacture of industrial flooring materials. For the telecommunications industry (Nortel Networks), he has developed power supplies used in electronic switching applications; for battery charging used in emergency power supplies. Currently, he works in collaboration with Nortel Networks and ASTEC Advanced Power Systems, a division of Emerson, on a new generation of power supplies for information highway applications.

Dr. Al-Haddad has conducted collaborative research with the research group at the "Université Fédérale de Santa-Catharina", Brazil, headed by Professor Ivo Barbi. As a result of this he has exchanged several converter designs utilising the principle of soft switching and worked on the integration of soft switching technique in single phase rectifier circuits with high power density and unity power factor. Two patents have been applied for by ASTEC, his industrial collaborator, based on his collaborative project on rectifiers. Another patent has been obtained by his graduate students on the elimination of recovery time of diodes in boost topology; they are currently employed by ASTEC. A high-tech industrial product is also currently commercially available worldwide from ASTEC.

2.3 In the Field of Simulation of Power Electronic Systems Dr. Al-Haddad has worked on the development of suitable models for power semiconductors in Simulink/Matlab environment. These models are based on state-space representation of the electrical characteristics of these semiconductors. The novelty of this representation is due to the fact that it takes into consideration the essential parameters and intrinsic characteristics of the components. That is to say, this representation takes into account only those parameters that affect the dynamic state of the device (turn-off time, switching time, switching delay, dv/dt, reverse-recovery time of semiconductors). The static characteristics of the devices take into the conditions of turn-on and blocking. He has then elaborated models in block form for semiconductor devices as well as many commonly used power conversion circuit topologies. From the base model for a diode, he has established generalised models for various power semiconductor devices, such as Thyristor, MOSFET, GTO, and IGBT. Dr. Al-Haddad has integrated a variable-step algorithm for the solution with a view to obtaining accurate results. The available algorithms in Matlab environment ensure convergence of solution, thereby ensuring the efficiency of modelling used. This software called Power System Blockset was developed in collaboration with industry (Mathworks, Teqsim) and universities (University Laval, ETS). This software is used in conjunction with Matlab-Simulink in many universities in the world and is considered as one of the user-friendly ones for power electronic system simulation. He and his research team have published a number of papers (please see the list of references) on the theoretical aspects of modelling power semiconductor devices and on the application of converters for the improvement of power quality in utility mains applications. 2.3 In the Field of Electric Traction

- 8 -

Dr. Al-Haddad works in the field of traction since five years on a new generation of static power converters for electric traction systems. Although this work has a high degree of strategic and industrial importance, the main objective of this research is the application of the concept of integrated intelligent system for the development. In Bombardier Research laboratory, he developed the most advanced trac#tion system for Jacksonville monorail train. 250 kwatts by traction unit equipped with the most advanced control technique which permit the system operation in reversible, harmonic elimination, voltage stabilisation under disturbances and shoe bounce compensation. It is the most advanced system installed by the multinational manufacturer Bombardier transport North America. For this project, he works in close collaboration with manufacturers of power semiconductor devices and designer of high-speed integrated circuits. His design team works on the design, simulation and integration of developed modules, taking into consideration the interference and fibre optic communication between different components of the system. The developed technology could eventually be used in various other applications such as aviation controls etc. 2.4 In the Field of Power Quality

Dr. Al-Haddad also works, since a few years, on the issue of power quality in electric power distribution systems, and particularly on the interference problems due to current harmonics injected into the ac mains. He has obtained several strategic research grants from provincial (FCAR, Québec) and from federal (CRSNG) agencies in collaboration with Prof. Dessaint and Prof. Rajagopalan. He has worked on the modelling and simulation of non-linear loads and on the mitigation techniques. In collaboration with Professor Ambrish Chandra (who was earlier a post-doctoral fellow before obtaining his current position as Professor), he conducted research on active filters. More than fifteen journal papers have been published (please see list of publications) on this topic. Six graduate students have chosen this topic for their research theses for their Master's and Doctoral work; three post-doctoral researchers (Dr. Bhim Singh, Dr. A. Pramoud and Dr. B.N. Singh) have also been associated with this work.

Dr. Al-Haddad has elaborated new control laws and developed new control techniques for active filters that are used in electric distribution systems feeding 3-wire and 4-wire three-phase loads. These active filters are used in static compensators, filters and applications of Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFC). We have developed, implemented and validated the theoretical results of the new control laws using DSP controllers. Flexible development systems were built around DSP-based controllers permitting validation of several types of control algorithms such as sliding-mode control, non-linear control, flexible controllers that allow self-adjusting parameters dynamics. His research works on this topic are complementary to those conducted by two well-known Japanese professors: Professor Hiroshima and Professor Akagi. The well-known Japanese Company Mitsubishi has used Professor Akagi’s pioneering work. There are several other researchers in the world, who work on this topic, notably Professor Malessani from the University of Rome, Italy; Professor Geza Joos at Concordia University, Montreal. His papers have been often cited by these researchers in their publications in the Transactions published by the IEEE Power Engineering Society and other international conference and journal publications. One of his paper [28] is quoted more than 37 times by the researchers in the field.

3.3 Co-founder of Research Group GRÉPCI

In collaboration with his colleagues Louis-A.Dessaint, Maarouf Saad and Michel Lavoie, DR. Al-Haddad formed a research group called GRÉPCI in 1992 ("Groupe de recherche en électronique de puissance et commande industrielle"). Today, the research group GRÉPCI consists of thirty professors, researchers, and graduate students. GRÉPCI remains since its

- 37 -

creation the largest research group in power electronics and industrial control in Québec and in Canada.

3.4 Founder of "Laboratoire ÉTS-Bombardier Transport Amérique du Nord"

This project of major importance is realised in collaboration with the multinational company called " Bombardier Transport Inc: Division Amérique du Nord". This research collaboration is the culmination of many of our research contributions in power electronics and in particular, his work on the design and development of high efficiency static power converters, including the modelling and mitigation of electromagnetic interference due to harmonic currents injected into electric power distribution systems.

The multinational company Bombardier chose Dr. Al-Haddad and his research group to work on an industrial project on the modernisation and implementation of a new generation of power source for an integrated monorail type electric traction passenger train system.

It is important to mention here that there are not many university research professors like Prof. Al-Haddad in Canada who have earned an excellent reputation and confidence from an internationally well-known and technologically innovative company such as Bombardier, to have a unique research laboratory created for him/her. This research laboratory is called "Laboratoire ÉTS-Bombardier Transport en électronique de puissance et entraînements électriques" and was created in 1999 and is headed by Prof. Al-Haddad. Since its creation, this Laboratory has received a total of 4 million dollars in research grants and contracts.

Since the creation of the research laboratory "ÉTS-Bombardier transport", several professors, research associates and graduates of the Engineering school ÉTS are associated with this group. It is worth mentioning the participation of the following research personnel, in particular: Professors L.-A. Dessaint, Lee Van Ngan, and Christian Gargour and twenty five graduate and undergraduate students working as research asscoiates, two technicians, and three engineers. In addition to the researchers from ÉTS, five researchers from Bombardier, Division St-Bruno et three researchers from FAGA, A German division of Bombardier Transport. Currently, fifteen (15) persons work in this research laboratory.

The projects carried out in this research laboratory will have a considerable commercial impact. These works are of confidential nature and they deal particularly with the aspects of power supply, and electric train control. A number of students and researchers from ÉTS work in collaboration with the researchers of Bombardier from Canada and Germany, for the achievements of the main objects of this industrial research project. Dr. Al-Haddad also works on the planning and reinforcing aspects of this current collaboration of the research laboratory with Bombardier in order to preserve this privileged collaboration even after the current project period.

4. Industrial Research Collaboration and Technology Transfer

Realising the importance of industrial collaboration, Dr. Al-Haddad has worked with diligence to establish close and solid contacts with industrial partners. Several links have been established with industrial partners that have resulted in transfer of technology from his research group to Industry. Projects worth about two million dollars have been sucessfully completed with Québec and Canadian industries of all sizes. The money obtained through these contracts and grants have been fully invested at ÉTS to pay, on the one hand, the technical personnel, such as students, post-doctoral fellows and technicians who work on these projects and on the other, to purchase required materials and equipment to update the research infrastructure. 4.1 Collaboration with the "Institut de recherche Hydro-Québec (IRÉQ)"

In collaboration with the "Institut de recherche en électricité du Québec (IRÉQ), Varennes", Dr. Al-Haddad has developed a software called "Power System Blockset" that permits user-friendly simulation of the components of power system network, electrical machines and particularly, power electronic system elements. At ÉTS, he obtained a mandate to design two libraries of component models. The first one, a library of electric machines, was conceived and designed by the group headed by Prof. L.-A. Dessaint. The second library consisting of power electronic system components such as power semiconductor devices, converters etc. was built by the team headed by Dr. Al-Haddad. This software operates in the well-known Matlab/Simulink environment and is known as Power System Blockset and is commercialised by the well-known Mathworks Inc., which markets also the well-known software Matlab/Simulink and about thirty toolboxes all over the world. The cost of the first phase of this project was about one million dollars. Power System Blockset is nowadays used in many universities in the world.

4.2 Collaboration with Nortel Northern Telecom and ASTEC With the multinational company Northern Telecom (currently called Nortel Networks), Dr. Al-Haddad has several collaborative projects since 1993. He has participated actively in the development of industrial products that are being commercialised by Nortel since the past five years. His team’s work on the development of state of the art power supplies for telecommunications system applications, information highway as well as several ground and mobile equipment are used by this industry. He has proposed topologies that are both novel and innovative operating at very high efficiency. The success of his collaborative research with Nortel can be measured by the fact that a large number of our graduating students who worked on these various collaborative research projects have been employed by NORTEL. In addition, a number of his team’s designs have become industrially viable products and are marketed in quantities of tens of thousands throughout the world. To cite a few examples: one of his old students, Mr. Jean-Marc Cyr, has developed a converter unit of 250 Watts in 1994. Another student, Mr. Rachid Chaffaï, has developed another unit of 500 Watts in 1996 and a third one Mr. Éric Dubé, a unit of 1 500 Watts in 1998. Mr.Hugo Fortin-Blanchette, a current student, has been working since 1998 on the development of a converter unit of 25 000 Watts. Mr. Ammari is currently working on the problems relating to electromagnetic interference between the power converter units and the surrounding environment. All these engineers who constitute currently the Department of R-D in Nortel (currently ASTEC) are graduates from ETS and have worked with Dr. Al-Haddad on their research projects, supported by Nortel. In October 1999, the

- 39 -

company ASTEC, in recognition of our successful collaboration with our research group at ÉTS, has given us a donation valued at $42 500 $ of power electronic components. In addition, some of the researchers of ASTEC participate as examiners of graduate thesis. In some special cases, these researchers have also given advanced level courses in power electronics to the graduating class students. Dr. Al-Haddad has enjoyed really special and ideal collaborative relations with the researchers and engineers at ASTEC. He is ccurrently in the process of starting a new project on the design and development of a high efficiency rectifier delivering an output of 500 Amperes for the telecommunications industry. 4.3 Collaboration with "Bombardier Transport North America"

Since two years, Dr. Al-Haddad has been working with " Bombardier Transport", on the development of a new generation of power supplies for electric traction system. For this project, a modern propulsion system of power capacity 220 kW peak is envisaged. This unit is to be mounted in a train for a client in Jacksonville, Florida during 2001. This project of international stature has an international team of researchers from Europe and North America.

The first phase of this project started in January 1999: an industrial contract for the amount of $600 000 for 8-month duration has been obtained from Bombardier. More than ten graduate students and researchers from the "Laboratoire ÉTS-Bombardier" work on this project. Moreover, there are two teams of R-D personnel from Bombardier that are involved in this project. The team from Bombardier, Saint-Bruno, Canada, consisting of five specialists work full time in our research laboratory at ÉTS. A German team, FAGA, an associate of Bombardier, consisting of three experts, also works at ÉTS, associated with the research personnel in our "Laboratoire ÉTS-Bombardier". The second phase of this project started in November 1999. Dr. Al-Haddad has signed another contract valued at $350 000 to cover the operating costs of this project until June 2000. The third and final phase started in July 2000. A contract valued at 350 000 $ has been granted to the "Laboratoire ÉTS-Bombardier" at ETS for the completion of this project.

With the award of this third phase of the project, Dr. Al-Haddad has received a total sum of $1 700 000, creating, thus, one of the largest industrial research contracts ever signed in the Canadian University (Engineering Department) -Industry history. It has to be specially mentioned that this is a project of international significance where German and Canadian researchers collaborate with the students and researchers from ÉTS to achieve what would become one of the most modern traction systems in the world. 4.4 Collaboration with "GENAM Inc."

Dr. Al-Haddad’s collaboration with this "Genam Inc." started in 1997 to analyse, design and develop a high performance power supply using series-parallel resonance concept. The switching of the power semiconductors used in this converter topology was based on zero voltage and zero current. The novelty of this approach was that although it operated at high frequency, it created very few problems of electromagnetic interference with electric power distribution system. Further, the efficiency of conversion was higher than 96 % and the power supply operated at unity power factor on the entire operating range. This power supply that uses a high frequency

- 40 -

technology is capable of adapting to varying load conditions. It also possesses excellent dynamic characteristics for power supply variations.

The application of this power supply projected by the customer " Armstrong Inc" is for the temperature regulation of steel cylinders without material contact in industrial drying applications. These cylinders are used to extract humidity from materials such as PVC industrial carpets, paper etc. As a result of this potential for industrial application, DR. Al-Haddad had obtained an industrial research grant from National Research Council, Canada through its IRAP programme for the realisation of the first phase of this project. This power supply was completely designed and built by two students of the "Laboratoire de recherche en électronique de puissance" at ÉTS: Mr.Éric Dubé, a graduate student and Mr. Carl Larouche, an undergraduate student. The technology transfer was done by the employment of Mr. Carl Larouche by the company Genam. Another important fact is that the Director of this project at Genam, Mr. Claude Cyr, is also one of our former students of ÉTS and has done his graduate research project under Dr. Al-Haddad’s supervision. Dr. Al-Haddad has also helped this company during the marketing of this power supply, when they supplied several tens of these units, in the various manufacturing North American divisions of the multinational company Armstrong inc. 4.5 Other Industrial Collaborations

Dr. Al-Haddad has other industrial collaborative projects on various applications and thre list is given under: - CVDS inc.: (Project on power factor correction of high-density rectifiers). This is on the

design of a system that allows power factor correction of three phase rectifiers.

- Filtre Expert inc.: (Project on the detection and cancellation of stray currents in milk farms). This is concerned with the protection of animals and more particularly about the improvement of the quality of milk produced at the milk farms. This unit is commercialised since four years by this company.

- Dynatron: (Project on battery charging systems). This is about a design of a 10 kW unit that allows charging of batteries that are used in rolling stock (railway train) industry in their signalling systems.

- Primax: (Project on controlled rectifier of 300 kW capacity for emergency power supplies).

In this project, Dr. Al-Haddad has contributed to the development of an intelligent DSP-based control that permits the remote control and surveillance of power rectifiers from the command centres of Hydro-Québec network.

- Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Canada (Le ministère de l’Énergie, Mines et Ressources du Canada) (Hybrid supply system using solar energy as an additional source). This is about the design of a high efficiency power electronic converter of 5 kW capacity that is used for the conversion of solar energy into electricity for use on industrial

and residential loads. This project was completed in collaboration with the research laboratory (LDRE, Varennes) of this Government department.

4.7 Optimisation of Industry-University Partnership

The successful approach adopted by Dr. Al-Haddad in the realisation of various industrial contracts is based on the principle of sharing responsibilities. In fact, for each collaborative project, at least one technician in-charge was assigned by the industry to work with a researcher or a group of researchers working on the same project in our research laboratory. Weekly meetings are planned and monthly progress reports on the project are submitted for comments. Theoretical and simulation studies are done at ÉTS and the results are discussed, explained and well documented for further reference. After the development of the first laboratory prototype in our research laboratory at ÉTS, the researcher is transferred with the laboratory prototype to the industrial research laboratory. A second prototype is built meeting electrical, mechanical, thermal and other customer's specifications. This prototype is subjected to all the required tests and is certified by standard organisations such as CSA, UL before being commercialised. As a student from ÉTS has participated in the development of this product or equipment, he/she has an excellent first knowledge of the various stages of this product. Invariably, the collaborative company employs the student who has worked on the project which later becomes responsible for further improvement of this product.

This is how the "know-how" of the concept and later the "technology" is transferred from the university to the industry. This approach has been successfully used in the past and has the guarantee for success of future industrial collaborative projects that will be undertaken by the proposed Research Chair. This approach satisfies not only one of the main objectives of industrial collaboration, namely, technology transfer, but also ensures a solid link with industry for future collaborative projects.

As an example, mention should be made of the collaboration with Nortel's division of "Power Supply" (this division has been sold about a year ago to ASTEC Advanced Power System). After completing successfully three important major projects, six of Dr. Al-Haddad’s graduate students have been employed as engineers (J.-M. Cyr, R. Chaffaï, É. Dubé, M. Ammari, F. Daniel and H. Fortin-Blanchette), who completed their Master's degrees. These six research engineers constitute the R-D Department of ASTEC.

5. Leadership at International Level 5.1 Recognition from peers

The results of the research work carried out by Dr. Al-Haddad and his team have been well received and published in reputed international journals such as: IEEE. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, Transactions on Power Electronics, Transactions on Industry Application, European Transactions on Power Electronics, IEE Electric Power Applications, Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering - CJECE .

- 42 -

CJECE journal obtained the best paper award. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Conference on Power Electronics in 1998 judged awarded our conference paper as the best paper.

The major reason for Dr. Al-Haddad’s nomination as research Chair is its recognition of "multidimensional" achievements in scientific journal publications, major industrial collaborations and research collaborations with several research institutes and universities abroad. These various contacts have proved to be extremely useful in attracting excellent students from abroad as well research personnel.
