Reviving the 19th-century motor with the latest mathematics and superconductivity.
AboutAbout the lab
Building electrical machines that are kind to the Earth.
The Advanced Electrical Machinery Engineering Lab was established in 2017 as an endowed chair of the Graduate School of Engineering, and studies advanced electrical machinery systems for realizing a low-carbon society.
Returning to first principles for the electromagnetic phenomena in rotating reference frames, the lab works to establish a general way of describing energy conversion between electrical and mechanical forms.
The lab considers a wide range of applications, including transportation equipment centered on electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and distributed power sources.
Key terms
- Rotating machine
- A machine, such as a motor or generator, that rotates to convert between electrical and mechanical energy
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which electrical resistance becomes zero when a material is cooled below a certain temperature
- Inverter
- A device that converts DC electricity into AC with variable frequency and voltage. It is used to drive motors

ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on unconventional themes in electrical machinery, from fundamental physical phenomena and materials to machine design and systemization.
*Illustrative imageRethinking the principles of 19th-century rotating machines
The lab revisits the basic principles, invented in the 19th century, of rotating machines, which play the central role in the flow of electrical energy, and creates innovation with the latest mathematical, analytical, and experimental methods. It also realizes power conversion systems that make use of SiC and other materials.
*Illustrative imageBuilding and running prototype superconducting motors
The lab has mature design and prototyping technology for superconducting induction-synchronous machines, and can carry out everything from design to load testing, even for fully superconducting machines up to the tens-of-kilowatts class. It aims to realize a fully superconducting motor, of which few load tests have succeeded worldwide, and to take on the development of MW-class machines as well.
*Illustrative imageViewing electrical machines as systems
The lab treats rotating machines, batteries, inverters, loads, and cooling systems in a unified way as impedances, and considers system configurations based on the dynamic matching of their multiphysics.
