Optimizing E-Motor Efficiency and Performance
In this interview, Peng Peng, a researcher specializing in Electric Machines and Drive Systems as well as Propulsion Systems at General Motors, shares insights on crucial considerations for developing an e-motor strategy. The goal is to enhance performance, increase efficiency, and minimize costs. Peng also explores the utilization of innovative concepts and technologies, such as leveraging novel materials, to improve motor performance while simultaneously reducing expenses.
Moreover, Peng emphasizes the impact of fluctuating raw material prices on cost reduction and suggests methods for reducing material usage to achieve cost savings within the industry. Ultimately, Peng highlights the importance of carefully evaluating machine performance, supply chain dynamics, system-level cost considerations, and operating conditions when aiming to minimize material consumption.
Peng will participate in a panel discussion at the Advanced E-Motor Technologies USA 2023 conference, scheduled for September 19-21, 2023, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The panel discussion, titled "E-Motor Efficiency," will delve into various topics, including new strategies for optimizing performance, efficiency, and cost reduction in e-motors. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the actual practices adopted by OEMs to enhance e-motor efficiencies. The discussion will also focus on the localization of material sourcing as a means to address the volatility of rare earth materials' prices. Additionally, attendees will have the chance to evaluate alternative options for material sourcing.
