Perfect integration with the e-Traction system
TheWheel is part of the e-Traction system; an intelligent combination of the right components which together achieve very high operating efficiency. The e-Traction system can be installed in multiple types of transportation:
- Road transport: buses, freight vehicles
- Boat propulsion: large sail yachts, ferry transport
- Industrial applications: Container transport, mining vehicles
- Stationary applications: generator application
Modularity is an important factor in the e-Traction system approach and this enables the possibility for widespread applications. Resizing the system for custom design criteria is simplified. Our system consists of the following items:
Direct-drive motors
e-Traction devloped TheWheel for its high operating eficiency are extremely modularity. Shown here is a rear axle developed by e-Traction to fit a standard city bus; other applications are now being realised.
Energy storage: Li-Ion batteries and customized Battery Monitoring System
Using state of the art batteries, the process of energy storage and use is further improved. e-Traction chooses Li-Ion as standard solution for its outstanding reliability. e-Traction only deliveres batteries when the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) is installed for online surveillance.
Energy production: e-Traction Auxillary Power Unit
e-Traction developed a generator system with variable power output which includes all auxillaries in one replacable box. Mains output can be varied with max. voltage up to 500VDC (blue box). The Auxillary Power Unit (APU) can consist of many different power solutions, including diesel power, natural gas power, more batteries or hydrogen stack (now being tested) Also, this solution is easily mounted in other applications.
Integration: State of art PLC technology with vehicle logging and display (PC module)
Essential in the systems integration is vehicle management. The e-Traction system is managed by software which constantly monitors and interacts with the e-Traction components. Managing includes:
- temperature watch of all components as battery cells, power electronics and motors
- vehicle energy and emission management (combined with GPS input for battery charge state/zero-emission operation)
- display of system state (combined with PC)
- logging and analysis.
