E-Volve Cluster

The report details the results related to the design, fabrication and validation of the compact power modules, including active switches, gate drivers and auxiliary electronics, at a laboratory level conducted as part of the RHODaS project.

This document reports on the laboratory testing of the Thermal Management System (TMS) for a 150 kW High-Power Converter (HPC). Two prototype heatsinks, one made of copper and the other of aluminium, were tested.

The research presented in a poster format, focuses on the environmental impacts of electric traction machines (ETM) used in the electrification of vehicle fleets.

This document identifies the needs of the automotive industry for an effective implementation of the novel eMotors to be developed in HEFT project. 

This report specifies the active electronic switches and resistive and reactive passive components, as well as converters' materials such as bus-bars and coolers that will be developed in the RHODaS project.

This paper is an introduction to the MAXIMA project which aims to design and develop a low-cost modular permanent magnet (PM) axial flux electrical machine (EM) for the automotive market with improved performances while limiting the use of critical raw materials (CRM) and the environmental impact

Climate change has created an increased need for innovation in various sectors, including the automotive industry. Many corporations are striving to fulfil this need by developing and producing electric cars. However, the production process remains inefficient and environmentally harmful.

In the frame of the European project SCAPE, this work analyses the environmental impacts associated with key materials from parts and auxiliaries of a conventional EV power converter. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was used to perform the assessment.
