Wind Technologies Ltd – Study, assessment and proof of market potentials and economics of a low-cost variable speed drive based on a Brushless Doubly-Fed Motor

Wind Technologies开发了一种新配置的专利感应电机技术，用于工业变速驱动（VSD）应用。它提供了大量的减少，预计高达20%，在系统的资本成本相比，conventionalVSD技术，利用一个小尺寸转换器。因此，它使更多的电机应用受益于VSD的能源效率和改善的环保影响。该核心技术已逐步发展到250千瓦的工作和测试的大小由该公司用作风力发电应用的发电机，但它也可以用作VSD中的电动机。该项目的目的是研究，评估和证明一种新的专利电机技术的市场机会，无刷双馈电机（BDFM），用于VSD应用。拟议的市场证明项目将使我们能够通过研究市场需求、潜力和趋势、技术适合性和经济性以及与能源效率法规的兼容性来评估该技术作为VSD应用的低成本解决方案的潜力，这将为商业化运营奠定基础，以进入下一阶段。

Wind Technologies has developed a newly configured and patented induction motortechnology for use in industrial variable speed drive (VSD) applications. It offers substantialreductions, projected as high as 20%, in the system capital costs as compared to conventionalVSD technologies by utilising a fractional-size converter. It hence enables a far greaterproportion of motor applications to benefit from the energy efficiency and improvedenvironmental impact of VSDs. The core technology has been progressively developed up toa working and tested 250 kW size by the Company for use as a generator for wind powerapplications, but it can also be utilised as an electrical motor in VSDs.The aim of the project is to study, assess and prove the market opportunity for a new andpatented electrical machine technology, the Brushless Doubly-Fed Motor (BDFM), for VSDapplications. The proposed Proof of Market project will enable us to assess the potentials ofthe technology as a low-cost solution for VSD applications by studying the market needs,potentials and trends, technology fit and economics, and compatibility with energy efficiencylegislations, which will set the foundation for commercialisation operations to move to thenext phase.
