Industrial applications of motor control systems in Japan-past and future

This paper reviews the past and present advances in the industrial applications of motor control systems in Japan. Motor control systems applying the technology of power electronics, have been widely used in the industrial applications The advent of high speed microprocessors and power devices is permitting high control performance which was not possible before. Finally, the paper highlights the future development of motor control systems, and the problem caused by higher harmonic current and reactive power.<
