UQM Technologies 100 kW Propulsion Motor and Controller for Bus Applications
Jon Lutz Director of Engineering UQM Technologies, Inc.
Company Background
THE POWER IN POWER TECHNOLOGY
100 kW peak power (being increased to 150 kW) 550 N-m peak torque (being increased to 650 N-m) 55-100 kW continuous power 5000 RPM top speed (suitable for single stage gear reduction)
240 to 420 VDC input (reconfigurable for 500 to 850 VDC) Three-Phase IGBT power with Sine-Wave drive Torque/Speed/Voltage selectable control
Phoenix Motorcars has ordered 500 systems, creating the opportunity to set up production equipment and tooling Investment in component tooling Production assembly equipment Lower pricing in 2008 due to investments
Two 100 kW motors are generally appropriate for 35-40 buses (series hybrid or fuel cell) One 100 kW motor is appropriate for parallel hybrid systems Motors may drive individual wheels through gear reductions Motors may be oriented in-line to drive an axle
Electric machines and controllers for the Denver Regional Transportation Districts hybrid bus fleet (36 buses) Selected to provide prototypes to Mobile Energy Solutions for an advanced fuel cell bus Electric motors and controllers for the AVS bus fleet Participant in the Advanced Technology Transit Bus (ATTB) program in 1996 Electric drive systems for a prototype hybrid Orion bus, put into service in 1994
Conclusions
THE POWER IN POWER TECHNOLOGY
UQMs investment in the manufacturing of a proven drive system will make a good candidate for advanced buses of all types (hybrid or fuel cell) Leveraging this system for cars, trucks, and buses will benefit all users with low-cost, proven propulsion Please contact UQM for additional information: - Jon Lutz, Director of Engineering: jlutz@uqm.com - Andrew Roberts, Sales Engineer: aroberts@uqm.com - Phone Number: 303-278-2002
