2012/02/21

Summary
Motors: Permanent magnet-less SR motors by Nidec, motor drive system QMET-II by Yaskawa Electric
EV and HEV-related systems: Electrically-driven intelligent brake system coordinated with regenerative braking exhibited by Hitachi Automotive Systems, on-board chargers exhibited by Nichicon
Capacitors: Low-resistance electric double-layer capacitor exhibited by Nippon Chemi-Con, lithium-ion capacitors exhibited by Shin-Kobe Electric Machinery

Summary

The 3rd EV & HEV Drive System Technology Expo　(The 3rd EV Japan) was held from January 18 to 20, 2012, at the Tokyo Big Sight. Some of the exhibited items are reported below along with certain displays from the co-exhibited Car-Ele Japan (International Automotive Electronics Technology Expo). There will be a separate report on the Automotive Weight Reduction Expo that was also held simultaneously.

Motor technologies exhibited at the 3rd EV Japan included the permanent magnet-less SR (switched reluctance) motor by Nidec, and the motor drive system QMET-II by Yaskawa Electric using a switchable winding wire motor. Displays of particular appeal regarding the EV and HEV technologies included the electrically-driven intelligent brake system coordinated with regenerative braking exhibited by Hitachi Automotive Systems.

Exhibited at the Car-Ele Japan included the electric double-layer capacitors being supplied by Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation for Mazda's deceleration energy regenerating system.
