Abstract:

Due to industrial development correlated with population growth, the demand for energy continues to grow. The context of the existing global dynamics in terms of climate change has led Romania to commit through PNIESC to reduce by 2030 with 43.9% greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2005 values and to increase the global share of energy from renewable sources in final gross consumption by 30.7%. Inertial energy storage systems based on the flywheel principle, known in the literature as the "Flywheel Energy Storage System" (FESS) is gaining much attention from the scientific community due to the fact that they can be a viable solution to the problem related with the intermittent nature of energy harnessed from renewable sources. In addition, the level of technological development reached by additive manufacturing as well as the new composite materials, which have a remarkable potential in terms of energy density that can be absorbed and returned by the flywheel, all of this redefine the FESS concept, important companies at a global level investing in the research and development of these systems. The aim of the project is to develop a product for both energy storage and protection of local micro electricity networks. The product is addressed to banks, medical units, data centers, laboratories and units of strategic interest. The invention solves a technical problem which consists in the realization of an inertial device which, in addition to the energy storage function, it permanently ensures protection from voltage peaks and against electrical parasitic elements. The innovative character is also supported by the existing patent application. As a result of the project, significant technological and economic effects will result and ICPE SA in this way will expand its research capability and will diversify its range of products adapted to the new performance and efficiency requirements, assimilating the R&D results of the ICPE-CA and UTCN project partners.

Abstract:

Improving the power factor at the same time as balancing the three-phase loads in the low voltage distribution networks, by using an unbalanced capacitive compensator, is an efficient solution, but well-known only by very few specialists so far. ICPE SA (http://icpe.ro/) participated as the only partner, together with UPT - coordinator (http://upt.ro/), in a project carried out within the PN-II-PT-PCCA-2013–4 (https://www.sites.google.com/site/caeredjt/ - Funding Contract No. 48 / 01.07.2014). Within the project, the mathematical model of such a compensator was perfected, which was then put into practice by constructing a demonstrative experimental model, corresponding to the technology readiness level TRL 4.

The excellent results obtained within this first partnership, including articles published in international journals indexed by ISI, with Impact Factor, respectively the high potential of the profile market, created the premises that ICPE SA (IMM) decided to continue the technological development of this solution. ICPE SA request financial support participating in this competition to start the production of a range of prototypes of intelligent capacitive compensators.

The project proposed by this financing application is coordinated by ICPE SA (CO), with a single partner UPT (P1) and aims to reach the technological readiness level TRL 6. The central element of this second partnership is the transfer from UPT to ICPE SA of the related intellectual property and the assimilation by ICPE SA of the control method of automatic balancing capacitive compensators for industrial applications.

ICPE SA, having the human resources and the infrastructure necessary to reach the technological readiness level proposed, identified the opportunity to introduce in manufacturing an innovative product, significantly improved, with a high potential for commercial exploitation, both on the domestic and international market.

Abstract:

Electric motors for traction applications of electric vehicles have restrictive requirements regarding torque density and power density that needs to have the highest values, power that must be constant for a wide range of speeds and efficiency, which is the reason why electric motors with this destination are generally synchronous motors with permanent magnets based on rare earth elements. The context of the global dynamics regarding the exports of materials made from rare earths elements and the prices dynamics, can generate a shock wave that can affect the companies whose production is based for example on the import of magnets made from rare earths elements. The project idea was generated by the market, which practically impose to companies, due to the current technological advances, the development of more compact electric traction systems, with high power density and high efficiency and, preferably, not to use in their component materials elements considered rare as rare earths elements.The project proposal aim is to develop and to put into production of a new, innovative series of synchronous motors with variable reluctance assisted by ferrite permanent magnets for light electric vehicles (EMLEV). The innovative solution proposed will lead to a reliable product, with an efficiency of over 95%, achieved by correlating elements such geometry optimization of the rotor, rectangular section of the winding coils, optimized electric drive, water cooling system. As a result of the project, significant technological and economic effects will result and ICPE in this way will expand its research capability and will diversify its range of products adapted to the new performance and efficiency requirements, assimilating the R&D results of the UPB and UTCN project partners.

Abstract:

The aim of the project is to obtain and to demonstrate the functionality of an innovative conductive composite material having a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect, recently developed as an optimized experimental model within the ICPE-CA and the exploitation of the results obtained so far by developing a model with direct practical applicability, with the prospect of being introduced into manufacture, namely a heating cable with self-regulating temperature properties. The key element of the proposed cable is the mentioned conductive composite material that produces heat through the Joule effect and is able to self-regulate its temperature by electric percolation-depercolation effects at a certain temperature specific to the respective material. Such a cable can be integrated into interior (floor) or exterior (paving, roof) construction elements to ensure a certain constant ambient temperature of the house and to prevent the formation of ice, respectively. Therefore, within the project it is proposed the experimental realization, based on a laboratory technology, of a heating cable model with self-regulating temperature effect and testing of its functional characteristics. The results will be useful for demonstrating the functionality of the model and will allow the transition to a higher stage in results exploitation by their transfer to a manufacturer.

Abstract:

Currently, one of the limitations regarding the operation of automatic weapons, especially of individual assault weapons, is the occurance of cook-off, namely the initiation of the cartridge as a result of the heating of the barrel, without the trigger being pulled. The occurance of cook-off leads to the reduction of the performance of the armament by limiting the number of cartridges that can be fired in a certain period of time and to reducing the safety of the operators during the use of the armament.

The SAAR project intends to develop a demonstration model of assault rifle that will make it impossible for the cook-off to occur by modifying the firing mechanism so that it operates either in closed bolt mode (when the barrel temperature is below the cook-off threshold) or in the open bolt mode (after the barrel temperature exceeds the cook-off threshold). The first cartridges will be fired with the mechanisms operating in the closed bolt mode, and as the barrel warm up, the firing mechanisms will operate in the open bolt mode, passing automatically, without the involvement of the operator.

Thus, the demonstration model will ensure both safety in use from the point of view of the shooter and the team to which it belongs, as well as keeping the performance of the weapon (firing rate, accuracy, etc.) regardless of the intensity of its use.

The feasibility of the SAAR project is ensured by the fact that it will be carried out in a consortium composed of ACTTM (project coordinator), which ensures the technical and scientific expertise of the Ministry of Defense and ICPE SA (P1) - IMM whose main object of the activity is research and development, being the main research and development entity in the electric field in Romania. The two partners in the consortium have the maturity, experience and resources necessary to ensure the achievement of all the proposed objectives for the project.
