Advanced electrical machine drives for automotive and wind turbine applications

该项目正在考虑开发和测试更智能类型的电机驱动-其中机器控制直接与其状态监控和对现有压力的感知联系在一起。这可以使机器在更广泛的封套中使用，以提供电动汽车的牵引或风力涡轮机的电力，其中受控过载和寿命管理可以以完全知情的方式进行。为了实现上述功能，需要在机器中嵌入一种新型传感器，以实现对关键应力测量(例如温度、应变)的现场监控-光纤FBG传感器可以提供这一功能，其用途将在本项目中得到开发。精密传感纤维将被嵌入到样机中，然后与控制相连接，以测试通过传感应力和实时控制相结合来开发高级操作能力的可能性。研究主要与电机和驱动器/电磁产品组合保持一致。

The project is looking at development and testing of more intelligent types of electrical machine drives - where the machine control is directly linked to its condition monitoring and the awareness of existing stress. This could allow for machines to be used in a wider envelope to provide e.g. traction in EVs or power in wind turbines, where controlled overloads and lifetime management can be done in a fully informed manner. To enable the above it is required to embed a novel sensor type into the machine to enable in situ monitoring of key stress measurands (e.g. temperature, strain) - the fibre optic FBG sensors can provide this functionality and their usage will be exploited in this project. Fine sensing fibres will be embedded in prototype machines and then linked to control to test the possibility of developing advanced operating capability through linkage of sensed stress and real time control.The research aligns primarily with the electrical motors and drives/electromagnetics portfolio.
