Failsafe Cryogenic Superconducting Motor Propulsion

项目摘要

Super conducting machines are game changers, as they offer unprecedented performance for light-weighted electrical propulsion system over long distance and Fluxart is building superconducting motors with high power density and high reliability. These motors are ideal to work together with liquid hydrogen based fuel cell systems to achieve zero emission propulsion, due to cryogenic temperatures required to operate with zero resistance electric conductivity.Existing superconducting motors suffer from low reliability and difficulties in designing and manufacturing. This project aims to establish an innovative technology to develop fail-safe superconducting motors, based on modular design and manufacturing. The fail-safe design ensures the availability to a reduced torque while there is failure in superconductors or the cooling system. And the modular design enable the simplification of design and manufacturing processes for superconducting motors, which can lead to significant cost reduction for Fluxart. The University of Strathclyde has expertise in the application of super-conducting motors in the Cryogenic Test Labs, and will partner in this project to exploit knowhow and apply this to these challenges in Aerospace, and other adjacent sectors.Fluxart tackles zero emission aviation and heavy duty vehicle markets, powered by liquid hydrogen, for the proposed super-conducting motor technology. Cranfield Aerospace Solutions and HVS will be the project advisors. Other applications in Marine, Heavy Duty Vehicles and Trains are also considered as spill over markets.

超导机器改变了游戏规则，因为它们为长距离轻型电力推进系统提供了前所未有的性能，而 Fluxart 正在制造具有高功率密度和高可靠性的超导电机。由于零电阻电导率运行所需的低温，这些电机非常适合与液氢燃料电池系统配合使用，以实现零排放推进。现有的超导电机可靠性低，设计和制造困难。该项目旨在建立一种基于模块化设计和制造的创新技术来开发故障安全超导电机。故障安全设计确保在超导体或冷却系统出现故障时仍可降低扭矩。模块化设计可以简化超导电机的设计和制造流程，从而显着降低 Fluxart 的成本。斯特拉斯克莱德大学在低温测试实验室应用超导电机方面拥有专业知识，并将在该项目中合作，利用专业知识并将其应用于航空航天和其他邻近领域的这些挑战。Fluxart 解决零排放航空和重型由液氢驱动的执勤车辆市场，用于拟议的超导电机技术。 Cranfield Aerospace Solutions 和 HVS 将担任项目顾问。船舶、重型车辆和火车中的其他应用也被认为是溢出市场。
