Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project will research novel integrated drives using direct converter technology from the viewpoints of electrical performance and integrated thermal design. The overall aim will be to demonstrate a feasible technology to extend the power range of integrated drives upward beyond 100kW. There are three key elements that require substantial research effort before a truly integrated motor drive can be built, these are:- power converter topologies suitable for harsh environments including high temperatures and vibration- thermal modelling and measurement to incorporate cooling of the power converter into motor casing- improvements in motor efficiency due to the removal of the direct on line starting requirement
