An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
A Family of Integrated On-board Charger for Single and Dual Motor based Electric Vehicle Power Train
The invention aims to reduce the cost, weight and volume of existing on-board electric vehicle chargers by integrating power electronic converters of the chargers with the traction inverter.
This work seeks to alter the interface condition through thermal history modification, deposition energy density, and interface surface preparation to prevent interface cracking.
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.
New demands in electric vehicles have resulted in design changes for the power electronic components such as the capacitor to incur lower volume, higher operating temperatures, and dielectric properties (high dielectric permittivity and high electrical breakdown strengths).
This invention describes a new combustion synthesis route to produce high purity, high performance DRX cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.
A new, simpler power module and manifold design shows lower weight and volume, which allows higher power density compared with current state of the art.
High strength, oxidation resistant refractory alloys are difficult to fabricate for commercial use in extreme environments.
Wind or hydro power are predominantly large-scale with giant generators to convert wind or water captured by turbines into electricity. But residential-sized wind turbines could generate power for a whole house.
