  2. 1. Kinetic Energy Storage and Magnetic Bearings : for Vehicular Applications

    Author : Johan Abrahamsson; Hans Bernhoff; Urban Lundin; Richard Magdalena Stephan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flywheel; magnetic bearing; energy storage; electric vehicle; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : One of the main challenges in order to make electric cars competitive with gas-powered cars is in the improvement of the electric power system. Although many of the energy sources currently used in electric vehicles have sufficientlyhigh specific energy, their applicability is limited due to low specific power. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aeroacoustic Prediction for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Author : Aya Aihara; Hans Bernhoff; Anders Goude; Mats Åbom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid; acoustics; noise; sound; wind energy; vertical axis wind turbine; aerodynamics; airfoil; simulations; CFD; LES;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic prediction of vertical axis wind turbines, using computational fluid dynamics simulations. Noise pollution from wind turbines is one of the disadvantages of wind energy, calling for strategies to reduce noise levels. READ MORE

  5. 3. Electric Power Generation and Storage Using a High Voltage Approach

    Author : Björn Bolund; Mats Leijon; Hans Bernhoff; Tore Undeland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Engineering physics; Flywheel; Generation; Generator; High Voltage; Power flow; Poynting; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Production and consumption of electricity have grown enormously during the last century. No mater what the primary source of energy is, almost all generation of electricity comes from conversion of a rotational movement in a generator. The aim of this thesis is to see how high voltage technology influence production and storage of electricity. READ MORE

  6. 4. A Generator Perspective on Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Author : Fredrik Bülow; Hans Bernhoff; Jens Sørensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VAWT; PM generator; Wind power; Stator core loss;

    Abstract : The wind energy conversion system considered in this thesis is based on a vertical axis wind turbine with a cable wound direct drive PM generator. Diode rectifiers are used to connect several such units to a single DC-bus and a single inverter controls the power flow from the DC-bus to a utility grid. READ MORE

  7. 5. FEM Analysis Applied to Electric Machines for Electric Vehicles

    Author : Juan de Santiago Ochoa; Hans Bernhoff; Marcos Lafoz Pastor; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Electric vehicle technology is an interdisciplinary field in continuous development. It appears to be a margin for improvements. The Division for Electricity at Uppsala University is doing significant research in the field. The present thesis investigates electric machines for vehicular applications, both in the driveline and in the traction motor. READ MORE
