Speech Title: Efficiency Improvement Strategies on Linear Induction Machines and Drive Systems for Transportation

Abstract: The speech aims to share some most recent advancements in control strategies how to increase the working efficiency on linear induction machines and drive systems, particularly adopted to linear metro, medium-low speed Maglev, which can be extended to ultra/high-speed applications, such as Hyperloop, electromagnetic propulsion systems, etc. Researchers and engineers from electrical, mechanical and information fields may find it useful when dealing with transportation motor and drive related design, optimization and control development, and so on.
