RICERCA PARTNER
ELMACHINE per Programma Trasporti
- Scadenza: 14-01-2010
The project will be focused on developing a novel EM mainly based on new ferromagnetic materials, new design and new manufacturing techniques.
The design of an EM depends mainly on two basic parameters: magnetic field density and current density. The higher these values the greater the power density achieved. This project aims to address both pathways to substantially improve the characteristics of current EM for electric vehicles, working on: * New ferromagnetic materials with good properties and competitive costs, both in the area of the magnets and the metal itself which guides the magnetic flux.
PROJECT AREAS AND RESEARCH LINES The project will be divided among the following workpackages (within brackets partner profile that will work on them):
0. Management (ALL)
1. Electric machines: 1.a. Exploring innovative topologies and concepts (P1+P9) 1.b. Exploring innovative types of applications (from in-wheel to stand-alone…) (P1+P11) 1.c. EM design (P1+P5+P9)
2. Materials (high performance and aviability, low cost) 2.1. Exploring & design of innovative magnetic materials (P3+P10). 2.2. Exploring & design of innovative insulating materials (P4+P10). 2.3. Advanced modelling tools (P10)
3. Manufacturing (high rate, low cost) 3.1. Analysis of the process (P6+P7). 3.2. New optimized proces design (P6+P7).
4. Integration 4.1. Power Electronics and EM integration; PEM device as result (P1+P2+P8+P9). 4.2. Cooling system design for PEM, COPEM as result (P1+P2+P8+P9). 4.3. COPEM integration in the electric vehicle (P1+P5+P11).
5. Validation and prototype (All) 6. Exploitation and Dissemination (All) Impact in Europe is clear: over the next eight years road passenger transport in Europe is forecast to increase by 19% while the amount of freight carried by road is set to go up 50%.
