Roberto Oliveira
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
Roberto André Henrique de Oliveira received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2007. In 2013, he received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from COPPE/UFRJ, where he is now pursuing the D.Sc. degree. From 2006 to 2012, he worked as engineer in the companies ThyssenKrupp and Otis with induction and synchronous motor drives applied to elevators. Since 2012, he has been working as electrical engineer in the development of the Maglev-Cobra vehicle (UFRJ). Recently, developed his studies and research in IFW-Dresden. His main interests are in regenerative braking, control of electrical drives, power electronics, linear motors and transportation systems.
Richard Stephan
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
Richard M. Stephan received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Instituto Militar de Engenharia, Rio de Janeiro, in 1976; the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in 1980, and the Dr.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from Ruhr Universität Bochum, Germany, in 1985. He has an MBA degree (2005) from the Center for Scientific Enterprise, London (CSEL), on Technology Enterprise Development. During 1977, he worked as engineer in Furnas Centrais Elétricas, Rio de Janeiro. Since 1978, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering, UFRJ. His main interests are in the fields of applications of superconductivity, magnetic levitation, control of electrical drives and power electronics.Dr. Stephan is member of SOBRAEP and IEEE. He served as president of SOBRAEP from 2007 to 2009. He is Titular Professor of the UFRJ and head of the Laboratory of Electrical Machines.
Abstract
Superconducting magnetic levitation (SML) vehicles use a levitation technology based on the diamagnetic property of Y-Ba-Cu-O blocks and the magnetic field of Nd-Fe-B magnets. Brazilian SML project, MagLev-Cobra uses for the... [ view full abstract ]
