Testing | Validation | Qualification

Due to the wide range of physical variables, validating the EPS subcomponent in real conditions offers huge benefits for the subsequent integration process. Our custom-built testing equipment solutions can perform different scenarios of your mission profile, including similar limiting boundaries such as operational RPM, voltage level at different SOC levels of your energy storage system.

Testing procedures produce complete test reports including the electrical and mechanical properties, as well as the thermal behaviour of EPS components. Our testing facilities are equipped to measure axial forces and achieved torque at every operational point of the testing procedure. This testing results together with the thermal behaviour are very useful for the validation and qualification process before integration into the project.

Cooling system optimizing process

As high-power electric propulsion systems require robust and powerful cooling systems to achieve perfect thermal behaviour, even at peak operating power levels, we offer a testing and validation process to define the necessary cooling power for your mission profile.

COAXIAL Configuration of EPU

A Coaxial/ Contra-Rotary electric propulsion system is required to enable the propeller to operate at its optimal aerodynamic point. Propeller mutual iteration can maximise the thrust of the electric power system. This aerodynamic aspect plays a major role in the mechanical design of the EPS configuration. Using our custom-built test stand equipment for coaxial configurations, we can test various factors such as RPM, propeller mutual length and propeller pitch. The optimisation process results in the total thrust achieved at various operating speeds, as well as providing information on energy consumption, system total efficiency and thermal behaviour.

Wind tunnel validation

We offer testing to optimise the aerodynamic performance of electric propulsion systems.  This technique is highly beneficial in many fields of engineering. In aerospace engineering, for example, it is used to analyse and study wide range of aerodynamic operating conditions.

Dynamometer brakes

The validation and qualification process for the EPU subcomponent involves performing a load profile over a wide range of operating speeds. Dynamometer brake outcomes are power curves of Electric Machines / ESCs / Energy Storage Systems aligned with their thermal behaviour at each operational point and condition.
