Innovative electromechanical converter with multiple electrical and mechanical ports for hybrid electric vehicles Ghent University
The project deals with an electromechanical converter for an electric continuously variable transmission (EVT) in a hybrid electric vehicle. This electromechanical converter consists of several electrical machines that are coupled in a mechanical and electromagnetic way. It has two mechanical ports (MP’s) and two electrical ports (EP’s). In the EVT in a hybrid electric vehicle, the two MP’s are the combustion engine on the one hand and the ...
SELFIE: SELF-sustained and Smart Battery Thermal Management SolutIon for Battery Electric Vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Circular design and manufacturing techniques for next-generation highly-efficient integrated axial flux motor drives for electric vehicles Ghent University
CliMAFlux will develop novel concepts (e.g., in terms of excitation and cooling) for more performant (e.g., >35% energy loss decrease in driving cycles) axial flux motors, thus reducing the need for rare earth materials by 60%, leveraging high-fidelity multiphysics models (e.g., electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, and at the system level) and digital twins. Innovative designs and manufacturing processes will be proposed to: (i) increase ...
