Advanced Reluctance Motors for Electric Vehicle Applications (ARMEVA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

To enable a large scale adoption of EVs, a new generation of electric drive systems is needed to reduce dependency on rare earth materials, while improving energy efficiency, power density, safe operation and reducing manufacturing/recycling costs. ARMEVA will develop a new rare-earth-material free generation of advanced reluctance motors.The goal of ARMEVA is to achieve similar power density and ...

Thermal Overall Integrated Conception of Aircraft (TOICA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Thermal behaviour of aircraft has recently become a crucial subject due to many factors: increasing number of complex systems required by modern, more electric, commercial aircraft, the introduction of hotter engines with higher by-pass ratios, the increased use of composite material in aircraft structures, or the confinement of highly dissipative equipment and systems in smaller areas to earn spa ...

Integration and Management of Performance and Road Efficiency of Electric Vehicle Electronics (IMPROVE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Electric Vehicles (EV) are subject of many R&D projects aimed at improving their components and overall physical (structural) architecture. In addition, several research projects exist that seek to innovate the overall control system that 'orchestrates' the way all these components perform together in passenger EV.IMPROVE focuses on in-vehicle ICT innovations for commercial (fleet operated) vehicl ...

Automotive Mechatronic Baseline for Electric Resilient Ultra Light Vehicle (AMBER-ULV)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

"Ultra Light Vehicles (ULV) intrinsically have a better efficiency due to their improved transport capability per vehicle mass. Additionally improved driving dynamics performance can more easily be achieved because of the reduced mass.However, the design of ULV sharing the same road with heavier cars represents a complex technical challenge for achieving acceptable safety levels. Furthermore, at p ...

Planning for energy efficient cities (PLEEC)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Today climate change causes serious problems to the societies worldwide and Europe starts to feel its consequences. At the same time European community is facing economical problems. One of the main producers of greenhouse gases is the non sustainable energy production and use. Therefore there is an urgent need to reduce energy use in most cost effective way.PLEEC will gather cities with innovativ ...

Ageing and efficiency Simulation & TEsting under Real world conditions for Innovative electric vehicle Components and Systems (ASTERICS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Following the Green Car Initiative (GCI) included in the European Economic Recovery Plan there is a high demand for electrification of transport in Europe.There are currently several concepts for FEV (fully electric vehicle) and HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) that support this “electro mobility” demand. The development and improvement of the different concepts require a huge effort in analysis, des ...

Large-Eddy and System Simulation to predict Cyclic Combustion Variability in gasoline engines (LESSCCV)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The objective of LESSCCV is to exploit the recent possibilities of engine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to fundamentally improve the understanding of cyclic combustion variability (CCV) in gasoline engines under real operating conditions, and to provide adequate modelling. Multi-scale CFD tools, able to study in detail the sources of CCV in full engines, will be developed. These tools ...

Energy Software Tools for Sustainable Machine Design (ESTOMAD)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

This project addresses all production machine sectors (e.g. machine tools, agricultural machines, textile machines). Design approaches for these machines, which are currently performance and capacity driven, have to evolve to approaches where resource efficiency is optimized. To do so, energy efficiency has to be taken into account as a key parameter in the design process.The main goal of the ESTO ...

Electrical Harness and Wires Analysis and optimiZation (EHWAZ)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2010,

"EHWAZ is a professional software solution dedicated to the sizing, analysis and optimization of electrical wire harnesses in aeronautic context. Starting from an electrical harness definition (logical and wire harness CAD-info and equipment definition), the tool checks whether harnesses comply with user-defined business rules. The harness definitions are then used to create a physical electro-the ...
