Cutting-Edge Technology for Innovative Electric Motors

Abstract

With the growing interest in electrification from clean energy technologies, such as wind power, as well as the use of electric mobility in various applications, the demand for the next-generation high-performance electric motors has risen significantly. Electrical machine designers for these applications are facing challenges in terms of meeting very demanding metrics for power density and conversion efficiency. Thereby, it is a substantial motivation of researchers for exploration of not only the novel topologies and advanced new materials, but also for exploitation of the innovative manufacturing processes for the new generation of compact, high-efficient and light-weight electric motors. Nowadays, thanks to cutting-edge technologies and new materials, a hi-tech 3D printed motor became a reality.
