SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 29, 2022 – Bluways, a developer of SiC-based inverters, high-power NMC batteries and electric motors used iVT Expo to debut its latest development, a 15kW permanent magnet, axial flux motor with fully integrated power electronics. 

“Each inductor on the motor has its own inverter,” explained Wim Vander Kuylen, project manager at Bluways. “What that means is that you have complete redundancy: even if one fails, the motor will still run.” 

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 29, 2022 – Pankl is displaying its fuel cell air supply (FCAS) systems at iVT Expo, designed to support the next generation of high-performance fuel cells across a range from 30-300kW. The systems incorporate a variety of design innovations such as high-efficiency air foil bearings, ultra-high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) and leading-edge inverter technology, all of which contribute to increasing stack power density and netting significant power gains.

“We see at the moment a very strong demand for high-performance boosting in fuel cells. Manufacturers are looking for very efficient solutions for both large and small fuel cell systems, and each application has different requirements,” explained Rodrigo Costa, business development manager at Pankl Turbosystems.
