Abstract:

An accurate function driven algorithm for comprehensive conceptual design of PM-free E motors (EESM and SyRM) will be developed by taking into account their electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical properties all of them being taken into account simultaneously. Our proposed approach is to combine conceptual design, technology aspect, production and material cost, which will be addressed as well as form a complete circle of the electric motor design process. In an unprecedentedly short time of few minutes, the E motor designer could get an insight into the solutions that were not available before.

The project will be focused on four main topics, each covering one platform:

  • Investigation of physical phenomena including advanced modeling and measurements
  • Design expert system including multi-physical conceptual design of EESM motor
  • Digital twin composition to connect digital word to real one
  • Methodology development allowing to form EESM motor distributed parallel experimental modeling community of SME (from Slovenia and Austria)
