主题1: Introduction to Yokohama National University and
High efficient energy conversion for mobile vehicles
报告人: Prof. Atsuo Kawamura, Yokohama National University
摘要:The series chopper type power train for EV is proposed for aiming the increase of one battery charge driving range for any type of battery. An ultrahigh efficient chopper ( called HEECS, efficiency over 99%, around 20kw ) was proposed with several circuit topologies. The proposed effect was verified at a motor-test bench, which can simulate the practical EV, and the proposed power train was experimentally compared between with and without the chopper. The second very high efficient system is the wireless energy transmission for electric trains aiming the elimination of the pantograph. A coaxial type transformer with air gap is proposed and after optimization of the structural and electrical parameters, a very high efficiency (over 96%) was realized with a few hundred power [W] range. A video will be provided for a mini model train. The third topic is related to A Novel Electromagnetic Linear Actuator with Inner and Outer Stators and One Moving Winding for Tactile Display.

主题2: Impact of Multi-Level Converter onMotion Control
and Micro-Grid Applications
报告人: Dr. Hidemine Obara, Yokohama National University
摘要:Multi-level converters have been studied actively in recent years. They have some attractive features such as lower voltage stress of each semiconductor power device, lower output harmonics, and lower EMI compared with the general 2-level converters. These features contribute to improve the control performance in some applications. In this study, it is verified that the multi-level converter is useful to realize extremely high-performance control in a motion control system. For the next step, the multi-level converter is also expected to enhance the performance of high-speed power flow control in the micro grid applications.
