In support of VTO's Electric Drive R&D activity, the Electric Drive Technologies (EDT) Consortium, a multi-disciplinary team of national labs and universities, coordinates and conducts a portfolio of research to advance the state-of-the-art in electric drive technologies. The Consortium established the following strategic goal listed below: (EDT Research Consortium Strategic Goal (compared to 2015 baseline)) A 125K electric traction drive system: (1) 8X power density improvement, or 1/10 the volume (33 kW/L), (2) 1/2 the cost ($$\$$$$3.3/kW), (3) 2X useful life (300,000 miles), and (4) 100 kW/L inverter and a <20,000 rpm, 50kW/L electric motor The objective of this project is to design a Wound Field Synchronous Machine with 8X power density improvement and cost below $$\$$$$3.3/kW.
