e-DRIVE test infrastructure for automotive and aerospace applications (TEST-EDRIVE)
T TEST-eDRIVE is dedicated to testing high-performance electric motors and drives for electrification in the aerospace, automotive and mechatronics sectors for Advanced production systems. Examples of applications are:
- More-Electric-Aircraft – on board generators, actuators and inverters
- Electric Vehicles – electric power trains, power and control subsystems, wired and wireless chargers
- Industrial and manufacturing applications – drives and converters
Main services:
- Testing of electric motors and drives up to 200 Nm, 20,000 rpm, 150 kW.
- Identification of electrical machine characteristics, including magnetic model.
- Measurement of motor and drive efficiency maps.
- Controlled temperature testing (refrigerant from 0° to 90°, fixed machine temperature test).
- HiL emulation of driving cycles - operating cycles.
