Enhanced Functionality and System Integration of Electrical Drives: A Collaborative Approach

This project focuses on the integration of electrical drives at a system level, leveraging outputs from various work packages to enhance functionality and promote market penetration. Key objectives include developing models for thermal, electrical, and mechanical behavior of drive components, optimizing drive performance, and exploring new materials for high-temperature operations (>200°C). Through hardware-in-the-loop demonstrations and engagement with industry stakeholders, the project aims to increase drive reliability, reduce costs, and open new commercial opportunities in higher ambient temperature environments.
