Thesis projects is an excellent way to get a closer contact with Scania and build relations for the future. Several of today’s employees started their Scania career with a Thesis project.
Background
Scania is going through a transformation to become the provider of complete and sustainable transport solutions. The transition is accelerating towards electrically dominant vehicle systems which leads to higher-power duty cycles for electric-drive. This include for example faster switching rate of SiC based power electronic that pushes the insulation system in a different way. Hence, not only the already utilized insulation materials need to be tested in this new condition but also market needs to be explored for alternative insulation materials.
Target
The target approach for this project is to evaluate the properties of the insulation material in a comparatively less-complex scale than the full electric motor. For this, a suitable test system (so called motorettes) has been developed which resembles the actual condition that insulation system is going to face in operation condition. With this approach - by limiting the influencing parameters - the intrinsic properties of the insulation material can be revealed. In parallel, thermal properties of the same materials will be evaluated within another thesis project at the same group.
Description of the assignment
The aim of this project is to evaluate the electrical performance of the insulation system by targeting two of the most important characteristics of the insulation materials; 1) dielectric property and 2) partial discharge performance
The project will be divided in to three parts:
The project will be concluded by a written report and an oral presentation. This Master’s thesis will be done in the department of Materials Technology for Electrification at Scania R&D in Södertälje, Sweden.
