High Power High Speed PM-Assisted SynRel Machines with Ferrite and Rare Earth Magnets for Future Electric Commercial Vehicles (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, R. M. R., Zou, T., La Rocca, A., Vakil, G., Gerada, D., Walker, A., Gerada, C., Paciura, K., McQueen, A., & Fernandes, B. G. (2019, October). High Power High Speed PM-Assisted SynRel Machines with Ferrite and Rare Earth Magnets for Future Electric Commercial Vehicles. Presented at 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IECON 2019), Lisbon, Portugal

High power density and high torque density are the fundamental requirements for electric machines used in traction application. The former is obtained by potentially increasing the speed of the machine while the latter by using high energy density ra...

Trade-off Study of a High Power Density Starter-Generator for Turboprop Aircraft System (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Khowja, M. R., Vakil, G., Gerada, C., Yang, T., Bozhko, S., & Wheeler, P. (2019, October). Trade-off Study of a High Power Density Starter-Generator for Turboprop Aircraft System. Presented at 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IECON 2019), Lisbon, Portugal

Mechanically-driven actuators, compressors and pumps are being replaced by the aircraft manufacturers that shift the trend towards 'More Electric Aircraft' and hence reducing the mechanical linkages within the aircraft system. This elevates the depen... Read More about Trade-off Study of a High Power Density Starter-Generator for Turboprop Aircraft System.
