Biography

Dr Sumner received his BEng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Leeds University in 1986. He then worked for Rolls Royce Ltd in Ansty for a short time before embarking on research work in vector controlled induction motor drives at the University of Nottingham.

Dr Sumner received his PhD in 1990, and after working at Nottingham as a Research Assistant, was appointed Lecturer in October 1992, and Senior Lecturer in 2004.

Current Research

My research interests cover microprocessor control of power electronic systems. In particular I am involved with the sensorless control of induction motors and permanent magnet machines (and their use in automotive and aerospace applications), power quality and control of active filters using system identification, and the development and use of new converter topologies for renewables and distributed generation.

Dr Sumner is currently researching

  • Sensorless control of induction motors and permanent magnet machines (and their use in industrial, automotive and aerospace applications)
  • Condition monitoring for motor drive systems
  • Power quality and fault location for power systems using identification techniques
  • The development and use of enhanced power converter functionality for mirogridsand distributed generation
