The penetration of VSDs in the drive market is growing, however, high upfront cost and long payback are major barriers to their widespread uptake. CEPower have developed a patented induction motor technology, with two stator windings and a brushless rotor, that only requires a fractionally-rated inverter to achieve similar performance and efficiency as those of commercial VSDs. Its main applications include a wide range of industrial variable speed pumps, fans and compressors. This project aims to prove the technical feasibility and quantify the performance and economics of CEPower's VSD technology through design optimisation, build and testing of a 40 kW prototype system.

VSD在驱动器市场的渗透率正在增长，然而，高昂的前期成本和长期的投资回报是其广泛应用的主要障碍。CEPower开发了一种专利感应电机技术，具有两个定子绕组和一个无刷转子，只需要一个分数额定逆变器就可以实现与商用VSD相似的性能和效率。其主要应用包括各种工业变速泵、风扇和压缩机。该项目旨在通过40 kW原型系统的设计优化、构建和测试来证明CEPower VSD技术的技术可行性并量化其性能和经济性。
