Overview
This is an ongoing project for the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory to explore using bearingless motor technology to create a new generation of electric turbochargers for aerial vehicles.
Current Responsibility
-
Facilitate the development of a multi-physics modeling framework for evaluating and optimizing BSPM electric machines. Created Python scripts necessary to evaluate machine constants and coil inductances in JMAG.
-
Performing setup and characterization of a 4-DOF 8kW twin stators BSPM machine. Prepared engineering drawings and fabricated components for dynamometer fixturing.
-
Experimentally validate BSPM FEA thermal models created in ANSYS Motor-CAD.
