Development of Power Electronics and Electric Motor Technology for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), Internal Combustion Engine Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) Traction Drive: This descriptive area provides an overview of Area of Interest 2 only. YOU MUST READ THE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT DOCUMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER THIS AREA OF INTEREST. PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO ACCESS THE MASTER FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT, AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS AREA OF INTEREST. Area of Interest 2: High Speed Motors for Advanced Hybrid Electric Vehicles including Internal Combustion Engine HEV, Plug In HEV (PHEV), and Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) Traction Drive Applications (DE-PS26-06NT43001-02) Advanced, traction drive motors that are smaller, lighter and less costly than those used in today's hybrid electric vehicles will advance the marketplace application of highly fuel efficient and environmentally beneficial hybrid vehicles. Currently interior permanent magnet (IPM) motors are favored for hybrid designs (those where the electric traction drive system is used for a significant portion of the duty cycle) similar to that used in commercially available hybrid vehicles. Other advanced motor technologies that meet the technical targets and goals will also be considered. The objective of this area of interest is to develop advanced motor technology that achieves reductions in size, weight, and cost compared to current IPM motors. More specifically, the goal is a brushless dc motor capable of producing 55 kW peak power for 18 seconds and 30 kW of continuous power that weighs no more than 35 kg, occupies no more than 9.7 liters, and costs no more than $275 in production volumes of 100,000 units per year. It should have a 15 year lifetime. The design should be scalable to 120 kW peak power for 18 seconds and 65 kW continuous power. The nominal operating system voltage is 325V and consideration should be given to operation at higher voltage levels. Additional performance requirements (e.g., coolant temperature, voltage levels, and efficiencies) are specified in Table 2. The most promising method for attaining these targets is to increase the operating speed of the motor. The power level of the motor (at constant torque) is directly proportional to speed. Thus doubling the motor speed produces a motor with double the power. Over the past several years motor speeds have increased from 6,000 rpm to 14,400 rpm. This has resulted in the traction drive motor becoming smaller and lighter. It is anticipated that motor technology developed under this area of interest will leap frog current trends and focus on the development of a brushless dc traction drive motor with an operating speed in excess of 14,000 rpm. The motor design must be capable of being driven by a standard three-leg inverter with no additional circuitry. Proposals should reflect an overall vehicle system perspective such that the means to achieving the technical objectives for the electric motor does not lead to unacceptable costs or hardware requirements in other system components. Building upon the latest advances in motor technology, applicants should make a case for the potential advantages of the proposed innovative design in both cost and performance over commercially available technology. This may be demonstrated either by laboratory testing or mathematical modeling. The proposed work must clearly demonstrate the commercial viability and increased value relationship in terms of reduced cost, volume, and weight as indicated above. Manufacturing innovations or lower cost materials to reduce costs in production are deemed a key issue as it is seen that this may be the best method of meeting the cost targets
