Profile My specialty is motor drive technology. Motor drive technology include rotary motors, linear motors, electromagnetic field analysis, simulation technics, control systems and power electronics. I am studying these in an integrated manner. My research is improvement of motor characteristics, development of high-performance motor using the new material, Elucidation of the loss factor of the motor, Intelligent control by Microcontroller. Other motor studies are the motor drive that specializes in application, sensor-less drive for each motor, direct torque control of the various motors. Research on power electronics is about high-efficiency converters, inverters, and custom inverters for motors and linear motors. Research results are clarified through presentations at international conferences and publications in journals.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Linear Motor/ Long-Distance Transportation System

    This research aims to apply a long-distance conveyance system using the permanent magnet linear synchronization motor. The initial cost of this motor becomes extraordinarily high over long distances. my laboratory proposes that an intermittent stator permanent magnet LSM can decrease this initial cost. In addition, it proposes a parallel synchronous drive method for non-stop delivery of luggage to other lines.

  2. (2) Switched/Syncronous Relactance Motor

    Switch reluctance motors and synchronous reluctance motors do not have permanent magnets, so accurate excitation is required. Other problems include torque ripple, low efficiency and difficult control. This motor research proposes a drive method for optimal excitation timing, a variable power supply system according to the number of revolutions, and a servo control system.
