6. Kinetic Energy Storage and Magnetic Bearings, for vehicular applications
Sammanfattning : One of the main challenges in order to make electric cars competitive with gaspowered cars is in the improvement of the electric power system. Although many of the energy sources currently used in electric vehicles have sufficiently high specific energy, their applicability is limited due to low specific power. LÄS MER
7. Testing and Modelling of Electrical Traction Machines : Performance Characterisation with Measurements from Transient Operation
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents methods to derive and model the performance characteristics of interior permanent magnet machines – a machine type which is commonly used for propulsion of electrical vehicles. The thesis divides the performance characteristics into three subcategories: The electromagnetic properties, the loss profile and the thermal behaviour of the machines. LÄS MER
8. Automated Production Technologies and Measurement Systems for Ferrite Magnetized Linear Generators
Sammanfattning : The interest in breaking the historical dependence on fossil energy and begin moving towards more renewable energy sources is rising worldwide. This is largely due to uncertainties in the future supply of fossil fuels and the rising concerns about humanity’s role in the currently ongoing climate changes. LÄS MER
9. Design and analysis of a novel low loss homopolar electrodynamic bearing
Sammanfattning : A novel homopolar electrodynamic bearing, together with a suitable permanent magnet drive, have been developed for high-speed applications where low losses and high reliability are essential and exclude the use of ball bearings, and yet where active magnetic bearings offer a too complex system solution. Considered applications are small turbomolecular vacuum pumps, and maintenance free flywheels for energy storage in remote telecom and satellite systems. LÄS MER
10. Flywheel in an all-electric propulsion system
Sammanfattning : Energy storage is a crucial condition for both transportation purposes and for the use of electricity. Flywheels can be used as actual energy storage but also as power handling device. Their high power capacity compared to other means of storing electric energy makes them very convenient for smoothing power transients. LÄS MER
