Failsafe Cryogenic Superconducting Motor for Propulsion in Mobility

超导电机是游戏规则的改变者，因为它们为长距离轻型电力推进系统提供了前所未有的性能，而Fluxart正在建造具有高功率密度和高可靠性的超导电机。由于超导电动机需要在低温下以零电阻电导率运行，因此，超导电动机非常适合与液氢燃料电池系统一起工作，以实现零排放推进。现有的超导电动机存在可靠性低、设计和制造困难等问题。该项目旨在建立一种创新技术，以开发基于模块化设计和制造的故障安全超导电机。故障安全设计确保了在超导体或冷却系统出现故障时，可降低扭矩。模块化设计简化了超导电机的设计和制造过程，从而大大降低了Fluxart的成本。斯特拉斯克莱德大学在低温测试实验室中的超导电机应用方面拥有专业知识，并将在该项目中合作开发专有技术，并将其应用于航空航天和其他邻近领域的挑战。Fluxart致力于零排放航空和重型车辆市场，由液氢提供动力，用于拟议的超导电机技术。克兰菲尔德航空航天解决方案和HVS将是项目顾问。船舶、重型车辆和火车中的其他应用也被视为溢出市场。

Super conducting machines are game changers, as they offer unprecedented performance for light-weighted electrical propulsion system over long distance and Fluxart is building superconducting motors with high power density and high reliability. These motors are ideal to work together with liquid hydrogen based fuel cell systems to achieve zero emission propulsion, due to cryogenic temperatures required to operate with zero resistance electric conductivity.Existing superconducting motors suffer from low reliability and difficulties in designing and manufacturing. This project aims to establish an innovative technology to develop fail-safe superconducting motors, based on modular design and manufacturing. The fail-safe design ensures the availability to a reduced torque while there is failure in superconductors or the cooling system. And the modular design enable the simplification of design and manufacturing processes for superconducting motors, which can lead to significant cost reduction for Fluxart. The University of Strathclyde has expertise in the application of super-conducting motors in the Cryogenic Test Labs, and will partner in this project to exploit knowhow and apply this to these challenges in Aerospace, and other adjacent sectors.Fluxart tackles zero emission aviation and heavy duty vehicle markets, powered by liquid hydrogen, for the proposed super-conducting motor technology. Cranfield Aerospace Solutions and HVS will be the project advisors. Other applications in Marine, Heavy Duty Vehicles and Trains are also considered as spill over markets.
