Project V.I.M.O.

Optimization of permanent magnet machine design for vehicles through in-depth understanding of the active electromagnetic parts’ attributes and interactions

Within the scope of this project, TESLA Greece cooperates with the Laboratory of Electrical Machines and Power Electronics of NTUA that has proven academic experience on electric motors.

The research work includes literature review, simulations using proper computational tools and laboratory measurements using a fully equipped magnetic tester and a high precision dynamometer system.

Research on the interaction of the active electromagnetic parts of PMMs aims to developing more efficient machines for electric vehicles due to the optimal exploitation of the chosen materials and the respective motor geometry. The introduction of the gained knowledge into the industrial design process will result to size and cost decrease for a given power specification. At the same time, the development of new designs for other vehicle types will be facilitated.

The project runs since January 2021. The total budget is 980.422 EUR, 746.322EUR for Tesla Greece with a grant of 65% and 234.100EUR for NTUA with a grant of 100%.

This research project is co‐financed by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH – CREATE – INNOVATE (project code:T2EDK-00421).
