This data-file compares the costs of refrigerant compression systems at LNG plants, across gas turbines, electric motors powered by CCGTs, or electric motors powered by renewable electricity. eLNG costs are…
This data-file estimates the efficiency of electric motors and power generators, using specific examples and data-points. $199.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart This matters as there are around 50bn motors in…
…are tabulated in the data-file. $449.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Electric vehicle motors produce torque as magnets in their rotors try to align with rotating magnetic fields that are created…
…activity has been rising at a CAGR of 16% over the past decade, including traditional cap goods, autos and motors companies, plus pure-plays in axial flux motors (see diagram above)….
Variable frequency drives precisely control motors. Amazingly they could reduce global electricity demand by c10%. We expect a sharp acceleration due to sustained energy shortages, increasingly renewable-heavy grids and excellent…
Motor innovations are an overlooked enabler for the electrification of transport. This 15-page note explores whether axial flux motors could come to dominate in the future. They promise 2-3x higher…
Electric motors were selected, in lieu of industry-standard gas turbines, to power the main refrigeration compressors at three of the four new LNG projects that took FID in 2024. Hence…
…game changer for light-vehicles, with 3-5x greater fuel economy than combustion vehicles (database here), due to inexorable thermodynamic differences between electric motors and heat engines (overview note here). (2) Electric…
…opportunity. There are 50bn electric motors in the world, consuming half of all global electricity. But most motors are inefficient, rotating at fixed speeds determined by the frequency of the…
…to rule them all. However, if you understand the thermodynamics of prime movers, you will inevitably conclude that the world is evolving towards solar, semi-conductors, electro-magnetic motors, lithium batteries and…
