Description
This project arises from two related needs: Following the emergence of the European directive 2009/125/EC of October 21, 2009, establishing a framework for the setting of eco-design and efficiency requirements for energy-related products.. KELD will satisfy both needs through a vector sensor-less synchronous reluctance motor drive. Thus, the overall objective of the project is to maximize energy efficiency of electric engine drives by implementing an electronic solution, technologically innovative and low cost, for SynRM drive. Benefits will be as follows: i) Reliability at a low cost for reluctance synchronous motors. ii) Alternative to engines of permanent magnets whose price is high and depend on the price of the so-called rare earth. iii) Increasing the life of the whole set. iv) Enhancing the implementation of synchronous reluctance motors with less impact on the process of manufacturing and recycling. v) Offering the market a customizable and low cost solution to every application.
Summary of project results
This project arised from two related needs: - On the one hand, following the emergence of the European directive 2009/125/EC of October 21, 2009, establishing a framework for the setting of eco-design and efficiency requirements for energy-related products. - On the other hand, though it is true that in the case of engines, this need is partly covered with permanent magnet motors, these include "rare earths" which leads to environmental and cost disadvantages. KELD offers an alternative to satisfy both issues at the same time through a vector sensor-less synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drive. Thus, the overall objective of the project is to maximize energy efficiency of electric engine drives by implementing an electronic solution, technologically innovative and low cost, for SynRM drive.
