Analysis of Performance Indicators (KPI) for Electric Machines Dedicated to Automotive Traction

IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) est un acteur majeur de la recherche et de la formation dans les domaines de l’énergie, du transport et de l’environnement. De la recherche à l’industrie, l’innovation technologique est au cœur de son action, articulée autour de quatre priorités stratégiques : CLIMAT, ENVIRONNEMENT ET ÉCONOMIE CIRCULAIRE, ÉNERGIES RENOUVELABLES, MOBILITÉ DURABLE et HYDROCARBURES RESPONSABLES.

L’engagement d’IFPEN en faveur d’un mix énergétique durable se traduit par des actions visant :

à gagner en efficacité énergétique ;
à réduire les émissions de CO2 et de polluants ;
à améliorer l’empreinte environnementale de l’industrie et des transports ;

tout en répondant à la demande mondiale en mobilité, en énergie et en produits pour la chimie.

Dans cet objectif, IFPEN développe des solutions permettant, d’une part, d’utiliser des sources d’énergie alternatives et, d’autre part, d’améliorer les technologies existantes liées à l’exploitation des énergies fossiles.

Analysis of Performance Indicators (KPI) for Electric Machines Dedicated to Automotive Traction

Context

As part of the energy transition, the role of electrified mobility is crucial. Since 2009, IFPEN has been working on solutions from design to experimentation, including the production of electric machine prototypes for internal needs or for automakers / tier1 suppliers.

Using the data formatting tool developed during the previous internship, the aim of this internship will be to compare electrical machines by finding, implementing and analyzing performance indicators (KPI).

Workplan

Become familiar with the tool developed during the previous internship;
Bibliographical study of performance indicators;
Updating the database of electrical machine results;
Application of performance indicators;
Machine comparisons looking at electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal items;
Based on the analysis of performance indicators, identification of areas for improvement in future IFPEN electrical machines.
