Fields of the interest (electrical machines and drives):

LOW VOLTAGE A.C. ELECTRICAL MACHINES, INDUCTION MOTORS

Design optimisation (non-linear programming, real cost of the electrical machine, constraints regarding the performances and dimension limitations)

High efficiency motors (design of the IE-2, IE-3, Premium induction motors, according the newest prescription of NEMA, IEC)

Motors with special starting performance (double, multiple cage, the skin effect numerical calculation in continuous or separate bars of the cage)

Calculation of magnetic circuits (computation of the actual state of the saturation in the iron path, reciprocal influence between the yokes and teeth saturation and the shape and magnitude of the air gap flux density)

Special windings (single speed, multiple speed pole changing, low space harmonic content; Fourier analysis of the actual magneto-motive force in the air gap of the a.c. machines starting from the current distribution; synthesis of the a.c windings with imposed performances regarding the space harmonic content; motors with combined star-delta connections, partial winding starting of induction motors; fractional tooth-concentrated multi-layer windings with low mmf space harmonic content)

Magnetic materials (performances of the existing silicon alloy electrical sheet, dependence between the iron losses and magnetizing capacity of the sheets, the influence of the sheets quality on the electrical machines performance)

SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES

Hybrid (dual excited permanent magnet, field coils) generators (generators working in the large speed range, having permanent magnets and field coils supplied by bi-directional electronic regulator)

Auto-car dual excited alternators (claw-pole type, combined axial magnetized permanent magnets and field coil)

Permanent magnet synchronous motors with line start capability (combined cage/permanent magnet motor; starting as induction motor, running as synchronous motor, three or single phase)

Permanent magnet brushless motor (BLDC or BLAC), with embedded permanent magnets and claw-poles modular construction

Computation of the magnetic circuit containing permanent magnets (main field, leakage field, establishing of the running point of the magnet from the mmf and flux density point of view; lumped parameter method)

Low speed generators for wind energy conversion (gearless low speed, direct driven from wind turbine, permanent magnet synchronous generator)

SPECIAL MICROMACHINES

Drag cup induction servo-motors, tachogenerators, hysteresis motor (design, manufacture, testing)

Two phase induction squirrel cage servo-motors (design, manufacture, testing)

TESTING OF THE ELECTRICAL MACHINES

All types of the low voltage electrical machines from 1 W up to hundreds kW; availability for testing other machines (higher voltage, power)

NUMERICAL MODELING OF THE ELECTRICAL MACHINES
