Description:
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.
