The Drives traction Laboratory is an important resource used in several corporations with research institutions and companies both national and international. The activities are widely spread in different application areas for the in house developed electrical machines (linear, rotary and magnetically geared) and converters. Applications areas are for instance (H)EV, wave energy, ventilation, conveyer belts, compressor, pumps etc.
The tests made in the laboratory are important when the system performance of the developed drives and the methods behind the designs are validated. A key performance parameter in many of the tests is the total system efficiency.
