Electrification

End-to-end capability

The Power Electronics and Machines Centre (PEMC) brings together expertise in electrical machines, power electronics, controls, manufacturing, integration and testing under one roof. The centre supports the development of high-performance electrification solutions for aerospace, mobility, energy conversion and industrial applications.

Design and analysis: multidisciplinary design across electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical, insulation, power electronic and control domains
Manufacture and process development: prototype and low-volume manufacture using industrially relevant winding, insulation, joining and assembly processes
Assembly and integration: machines, converters, cooling, controls, sensors and mechanical interfaces into representative drive systems
Testing and validation: component, machine, converter and system-level testing, from early development

Digital engineering for electric drive systems

We combine physics-based modelling, simulation, control, test data and digital twin approaches to support the development of electrical machines, power electronics and drive systems. This helps partners understand performance, losses, thermal behaviour, faults and degradation before, during and after testing – supporting diagnostics, prognostics and evidence-based design decisions.

System validation

Machine, converter and integrated drive testing under representative electrical, thermal and mechanical conditions
Performance mapping, transient operation, fault response, endurance and durability testing
Environmental and high-power validation to support progression towards higher TRLs
Test planning, instrumentation, data analysis and evidence-based technical roadmaps for industrial partners

Manufacturing readiness

Electrical machine and drive manufacturing process development, including advanced winding, insulation, joining and assembly
Prototype and low-volume build capability for high performance machines and drive systems
Process control, traceability and root-cause analysis to support quality, repeatability and industrial transfer
Support for manufacturability, repeatable build processes and production-readiness improvement

Prototype demonstrators and industrialisation learning

The 海角黑料 has built electrical machine and drive demonstrators from kilowatt-scale prototypes to megawatt-class systems, using them to validate new design, manufacturing, insulation, cooling and integration concepts before transfer to industrial programmes.
