Ventium Power: Wind Energy Systems - Evolved

FY 2024-25 · 2025-03-04

Summary
Enedym is a Canadian company at the cutting edge of electric motors and controls. Its proprietary technology will revolutionize the deployment of electric motors in clean energy production, transportation and industrial drives. The company’s patented Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) technology offers robust, highly reliable and low-cost solutions to many sectors from clean energy production, to transportation, to industrial applications. SRMs do not use permanent magnets, which are sensitive to operating temperature and require rare earth materials with their associated challenges in global supply chains.The technology will be demonstrated first in wind energy applications, through a partnership with windmill operators, manufacturers and installers. It will validate its robustness and reliability in the control of the wind pitch turbine blades, considered a harsh environment and where operational reliability is critical. The increased reliability of wind turbines significantly cuts GHG emissions by displacing fossil fuel generated electricity with clean energy from existing and future installations. The potential use of these motors in other sectors is enormous offering substantial climate change benefits.

Description (French)
Enedym est une entreprise canadienne à la pointe des moteurs électriques et des commandes. Sa technologie exclusive va révolutionner le déploiement des moteurs électriques dans la production d'énergie propre, les transports et les entraînements industriels. La technologie brevetée du moteur à réluctance commutée (moteur SRM) de l'entreprise offre des solutions robustes, très fiables et peu coûteuses à de nombreux secteurs, de la production d'énergie propre aux transports, en passant par les applications industrielles. Les moteurs à réluctance commutée n'utilisent pas d'aimants permanents, qui sont sensibles à la température de fonctionnement et nécessitent des matériaux à base de terres rares, avec les difficultés que cela implique dans les chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales.La technologie sera d'abord démontrée dans des applications éoliennes, dans le cadre d'un partenariat avec des exploitants, des fabricants et des installateurs d'éoliennes. Elle permettra de valider sa robustesse et sa fiabilité dans le contrôle des pales de turbines éoliennes, considérées comme un environnement difficile et où la fiabilité opérationnelle est essentielle. La fiabilité accrue des éoliennes permet de réduire considérablement les émissions de gaz à effet de serre en remplaçant l'électricité produite à partir de combustibles fossiles par de l'énergie propre provenant d'installations existantes et futures. Le potentiel d'utilisation de ces moteurs dans d'autres secteurs est énorme et offre des avantages substantiels en matière de changements climatiques.
