Flywheel systems based on fibre composites can have power densities which are significantly better than for electrochemical batteries. Hence, they have considerable potential for use as peak power buffers in drive-trains for electric and hybrid vehicles. As the rotational speed is increased, however, bearing friction power loss and iron losses in the motor/generator become more significant. Thu...

This study presents the latest technology to produce axial induction motors for application in electric vehicles. A review of current state-of-the-art is performed on solutions with soft magnetic powder core or machined parts that are not appropriate mass production. Therefore, new proposed, based analyzed production technologies specifics. It involves use a standard metal strips make both stat...

Recently, tape wound cores due to their excellent magnetic properties, are widely used in different types of transformers. Performance prediction of these transformers needs an accurate model with ability to determine flux distribution within the core and magnetic loss. Spiral structure of tape wound cores affects the flux distribution and always cause complication of analysis. In this paper, a...
