This collection of 115 papers from the April 2002 conference presents recent research on permanent magnet machines, transverse flux machines, induction machines, converters, generators, sensorless control schemes, and power quality. Several applications of the technologies to marine, rail, automotive, and aerospace vehicles are explored. Topics include optimization of switched reluctance motors for hybrid electric vehicles, iron losses in electrical machines excited by non-sinusoidal voltages, the design of high performance Rogowski coils, and voltage controlled modulation of a current source inverter.
