Powertrain components and systems for next generation electric vehicules

这项拟议中的合作项目由温莎大学、加拿大福特汽车公司、d&e、CanmetMATERIALS、不列颠哥伦比亚大学和安大略理工大学（UOIT）合作，旨在通过先进的动力总成组件和能量存储来提高汽车的燃油经济性和整体性能。该项目的目标是在对工业合作伙伴福特和D&V电子具有战略重要性的领域进行合作研究，包括：电机；驱动器;储能系统；以及电动动力总成部件测试。该研究项目将为工业合作伙伴福特和D&V电子解决电机材料研究和结构设计、多级驱动和容错控制策略、损耗和故障测试方法以及基于超级电容器的储能系统等领域最具挑战性的障碍，这将导致电动汽车牵引驱动技术的重大改进。研究和开发将特别针对开发高性能轴向磁通电机和驱动器，节能超级电容器储能系统和下一代先进的电动动力总成组件测试仪，可以专门确定机器损耗和故障。在5年的时间里，将培养9MASc和12名博士生和1名研究工程师。在宏观层面上，该项目的成果将带来：可实施的产品和工艺解决方案，以提高车辆传动系统的效率和性能；减少对化石燃料的依赖；减少二氧化碳和烟雾的有害排放；增加清洁能源的使用；改进和协助电动汽车制造技术；延长电动汽车的续航里程；并将提高电动汽车在加拿大和国外的市场接受度。

The proposed collaborative project among the University of Windsor, Ford Motor Company of Canada, D&VElectronics, CanmetMATERIALS, University of British Columbia, and University of Ontario Institute ofTechnology (UOIT) is expected to improve the automobile's fuel economy and overall performance throughadvanced powertrain components and energy storage. The objective of this project is to conduct collaborativeresearch in the areas that are of strategic importance to the industrial partners, Ford and D&V Electronics,including: electric machine; drives; energy storage systems; and electric powertrain component tester. Thisresearch project will address the most challenging obstacles in the areas of materials research and structuraldesign of electric machines, multi-level drives and fault tolerant control strategies, loss and fault testingmethods and supercapacitor based energy storage systems for industrial partners Ford and D&V Electronics,which will lead to significant improvements in electrified vehicle traction drive technology. The research anddevelopment performed will be particularly aimed at developing a superior performance axial-flux motor anddrive, energy efficient supercapacitor based energy storage system and next generation advanced electric powertrain component tester that can exclusively determine machine losses and faults. Over a period of 5 years, 9MASc and 12 PhD students and 1 research engineer will be trained. On a macro level, the outcome of thisproject will lead to: implementable product and process solutions to improve vehicle drivetrain efficiency andperformance; reduce reliance on fossil fuels; reduce deleterious emissions of CO2 and smog; increase use ofclean energy sources; improve and assist EV manufacturing technologies; extend the range of electric vehicles;and will increase market acceptance of electric vehicles in Canada and abroad.
