Istvan Szenasy Dr

1970 BME traction engineer. He presented the control of diesel-electric power transmission at the University sice 1975, and taught at the Department of Automation from 1994. 1996: University Doctor. He developed computer models for regulatory processes. Sensors and actuators - subject construction. Electric drives - integrates the control of synchronous servo drives. Participated in contract works of significant research value. He developed high-quality permanent magnet motors in tenders. He obtained his PhD degree in 2013, Applicability test of capacitive energy storage on metro-type vehicles.
Retired since 2017. He is a frequent guest of international conferences.

GRANT DETAILS

Contracts with industrial companies, then from 2007 with tenders with state and EU subsidies

RESEARCH OUTPUTS (PATENTS, SOFTWARE, PUBLICATIONS, PRODUCTS)

Permanent magnet synchronous motors with outstanding properties (high efficiency, very low pulsating torque, less than 2%, high torque/weight ratio) for experimental vehicles; laboratory developments, software developments, updating MSc study materials, writing and consulting on winning diploma projects. Elaboration of a patent with accepted but unpaid maintenance costs - but a high-quality article was published at a conference

CONSULTANCY

; Research of abnormal rocking movements of BKV metro vehicles to demonstrate the properties of the newly developed DC traction motor and gear; Investigations of the drive control of BKV Soviet-made subway cars for the French-designed automatic driving system, to determine the causes of some unexpected electrical braking phenomena.

Industry, Institute, or Organisation Collaboration
