Electric Motor Innovations Empowering the Global Renewable Energy Transition

  In recent years, the rapid evolution of global demand for renewable energy has led to a number of significant developments in electric motor performance, especially in the electric vehicle (EV), wind power generation, and solar energy storage markets. Electric motors are a core driving technology for the renewable energy industry, and these developments not only provide a strong technological foundation for the mainstream adoption of green energy, but prompt new modes of connectivity for the global transition to a green economy.

 Within the electric vehicle sector many developments were made that increased the driving range and reduced the time it takes to charge electric vehicles. These developments were largely driven by the improved efficiency of electric motors. Particularly, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) are now the preferred power systems for new energy vehicles, due to their efficiency, performance, and low sound levels. Largely due to developments in battery technology and the steady expansion of charging infrastructure, electric vehicles are now steadily becoming the preferred mode of urban mobility for many urban dwellers.

  Remote controlled electric motors have also made considerable achievements in the wind and solar energy sectors. In wind energy generation, wind turbine motors have achieved exciting performance levels and can operate effectively and efficiently at low to very low wind speeds, which directly increases the availability of wind energy. Use of high-efficiency motors keeps wind energy systems operating costs low, and is very important for increasing wind energy consumption in the world's energy consumption.

  In solar energy storage systems, electric motors provide an important role in getting high-efficiency power that's stored and released. Motor driven systems with intelligent controls can effectively transmit the energy and store it efficiently, which helps to increase the use and reliability of solar energy. With intelligent solar energy management, electric motors can store and utilize solar energy well, so when coupled with a solar system it becomes a reliable and clean energy solution.

  With next generation electrification and smart technology capabilities, electric motors are bound to become operationally and strategically much more important for the energy market of the future. Industry professionals now expect that electric motor technology will deepen prospects for the green energy revolution by displacing highly inefficient and environmentally damaging energy generation systems over the next few years.
