Research Contents

We investigate high-efficiency technologies of electric machines and electronic circuits, enhancement of their control methods, efficient use of renewable energy. The common concept of our research projects is “saving energy”.

1. Performance analysis and design optimization of electric machines
Magnetic field analyses are widely used in designing electric machines. We develop numerical techniques based on finite element methods and practical modelling methods for magnetic properties, and carry out magnetic field analyses of various electric machines to achieve their optimal design.

2. Measurement and modelling of magnetic properties of soft magnetic materials
In order to make the best use of electrical steel sheets in designing high-performance electrical machines, it is indispensable to deeply understand their magnetic properties. We investigate magnetic measurement methods for soft magnetic materials under alternating/rotating, sinusoidal/non-sinusoidal magnetic flux conditions from low- to high-frequency region.
