Result description
Performance: the Induction Motor prototypes developed are based on inner rotor topology in combination with high rotational speed (up to 20.000 rpm) to increase torque density and specific power, maintaining peak efficiency above 95%. Two operation modes will be explored via control algorithms: 200 kW and 75 kW.
Scope: compared to existing solutions in the market, the solution developed aims to achieve the following figures: +30% specific torque; -50% direct motor losses; +50% power density in power electronics; and -15% production costs in mass production.
