"OCTOPUS builds on the success of previous Innovate UK project APEX.**Advanced Electric Motors Research** and **The Thinking Pod innovations** will focus optimising the integrated motor and power electronics 'drive' technology and further integrating with a new transmission and thermal management system to deliver the ultimate single unit e-axle solution designed specifically to meet **Bentley Motors** performance specifications.OCTOPUS will use the world class synchrotron and high performance computing systems available from the **Science & Technology Facilities Council** to build new multi-physics modelling solutions and expertise of the **University of Nottingham** to build power electronics modelling solutions and validate them with test data generated by 'looking through' the motor while its running at its maximum operating speed of 30,000rpm.The prototype e-axle, manufactured by **Advanced Electric Machines** at their expanded manufacturing facility in Washington Tyne & Wear, will be tested to OEM Design Verification (DV) standards using the latest testing solutions and test specifications developed using both **University of Bath** and Bentley Motors vast powertrain testing experience, ensuring that it comes out of the project ready to be considered for a vehicle programme.Looking beyond the next generation, OCTOPUS will develop a suite of technologies which target the 2035 Auto Council performance targets by integrating the latest thinking in Additive Manufacturing and nano-material technologies. **Hieta Technologies** will deliver beyond state of the art thermal management and lighweighting solutions in both the motor and transmission while **Talga Resources** UK will develop materials for high performance motor windings delivering an aluminium based solution which will aim to out perform copper.By working on these technologies alongside the core e-axle design, OCTOPUS will aim to accelerate and focus their development with a view to incorporating successful elements into the testing and prototype units, laying the foundations for future design verification programmes.At the end of OCTOPUS the project team will deliver:* **An e-axle prototype** incorporating the latest magnet free motor, wide band gap power electronics and lightweight transmission systems, tested to OEM DV standards using a new test protocol proven on next generation test facilities* **A new multi-physics simulation modelling toolkit** incorporating electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and NVH solvers operating simultaneously, validated by a never before demonstrated x-ray analysis technique* **Next generation lightweight high performance component systems**, integrating the latest material and manufacturing techniques and tested at component, sub-system and system level and with an integration route into future e-axle designs"

“OCTOPUS建立在之前Innovate UK项目APEX的成功基础上。** Advanced Electric Motors Research** 和 **The Thinking Pod创新 ** 将专注于优化集成电机和电力电子“驱动”技术，并进一步与新的变速器和热管理系统集成，以提供专为满足 **Bentley Motors** 需求而设计的终极单体电子轴解决方案。性能规格。OCTOPUS将使用 ** 科学技术设施理事会 ** 提供的世界一流的同步加速器和高性能计算系统，物理建模解决方案和诺丁汉 ** 大学的专业知识，以构建电力电子建模解决方案，并通过在电机以30，000 rpm的最大运行速度运行时“透视”电机所生成的测试数据对其进行验证。由 **Advanced Electric Machines** 在华盛顿Tyne & Wear的扩建制造工厂制造的原型e轴，将使用最新的测试解决方案和测试规范，根据OEM设计验证（DV）标准进行测试，这些解决方案和测试规范是利用 ** 巴斯大学 ** 和宾利汽车公司丰富的动力总成测试经验开发的，以确保其在项目完成后即可用于车辆项目。展望下一代，OCTOPUS将通过整合增材制造和纳米材料技术的最新思想，开发一套针对2035年汽车理事会绩效目标的技术。**Hieta Technologies** 将在电机和变速器领域提供最先进的热管理和轻量化解决方案，而 **Talga Resources** UK将开发用于高性能电机绕组的材料，提供基于铝的解决方案，旨在超越铜。通过与核心电子轴设计一起研究这些技术，OCTOPUS将致力于加速和集中开发，以便将成功的元素纳入测试和原型单元，为未来的设计验证计划奠定基础。在OCTOPUS结束时，项目团队将提供：* ** 电动轴原型 ** 采用了最新的无磁电机、宽带隙电力电子设备和轻型传动系统，使用经过下一代测试设施验证的新测试协议，按照OEM DV标准进行测试 * 新的多物理场仿真建模工具包 ** 结合电磁、机械、热和NVH求解器同时运行，通过前所未有的X射线分析技术进行验证 * 下一代轻质高性能部件系统 **，集成最新的材料和制造技术，并在部件、子系统和系统级别进行测试，并集成到未来的电子轴设计中。
