Power Systems, Electric MachineryElectronic, Information Systems
We are doing research on (a) Analysis, simulation and control of electric machines, (b) Power electronic converters such as PFC (Power-factor correction) converters, as shown in Fig. 1, and active power-filters, and (c) Application of Human-Adaptive Mechatronics (HAM) to experimental psychology. On the topics (a) and (b), we would like to propose methods for improving efficiency of the electrical machines, and for reducing harmonics to create sophisticated power supplies. The topic (c) is a theme that we develop high-performance systems with consideration of human behavior.
