Join us for a seminar that delves into the critical role of thermal management in the evolution of electrical machines. As electrification continues to pave the way toward zero-carbon emission targets by 2050, achieving higher power density and efficiency in electrical machines has become essential. Current technologies achieve power densities of 5–10 kW/kg with efficiencies around 96%. However, thermal management remains a pivotal factor in pushing these boundaries further, serving as a key enabler for enhanced performance.

This seminar will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in thermal management for electrical machines, exploring advanced and future cooling techniques aimed at achieving power densities of 15-25 kW/kg and efficiencies of 98.5%. Case studies will highlight the latest developments, illustrating the potential and challenges of these cutting-edge innovations.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Fengyu Zhang (Member, IEEE) is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham's PEMC Research Institute, where she specializes in thermal management for electrical machines. A recipient of the prestigious Anne McLaren Fellowship in 2023, she leads independent research on electric drive cooling systems. Dr. Zhang holds a Ph.D. in electrical machines from the University of Nottingham and a B.E. in thermal engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Her research focuses on high-performance motors for transport applications and multi-domain optimization.

Date: Wednesday, December 4
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: C240 Van Leer
