Prominent Lecturer: Dr. Dave Torrey, GE Global Research Center

Motivated by a deceptively simple expression for the power conversion by an electric machine, we will develop from first principles a deeper understanding of what ultimately limits electric machine performance and where targeted research can diminish these limitations. Using motivating examples from aviation and renewable energy, we will examine the issues of how to balance the competing structural, thermal, and field constraints on an electric machine while driving toward increased torque and power densities. Choices to be discussed include whether it is better to separate constraints or to simultaneously address constraints through co-design.
