Currently, the electrical vehicle industry needs motors that can deliver high efficiency throughout the entire vehicle running cycle. Axial flux motors are compatible with these major developments taking place in this industry. In the first part of this paper is presented the differences between the geometry of axial flux motors and the radial-flux motors to highlight the complexity of the analysis of AFPM and their particularities. Then, in the paper are presented and analyzed different classical AFPM motor variants and emerging new variants of AFPM including transversal flux motors, bearingless AFMs and magnetically geared AFPMs pointing out their strengths and weaknesses. Also, in this paper, an electromagnetic analysis of an axial flux motor type is presented.

Environmental regulations, rapid technological advancements, and evolving mobility trends have led to a significant transformation of the automotive industry in recent years. The adoption of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) has been accelerated by these developments, which are becoming increasingly efficient and widely deployed. Evaluating BEV energy consumption and performance is essential for optimizing energy efficiency, extending driving range, and developing effective control strategies under real-world operating conditions. The analysis is based on the WLTP Class 3 driving cycle, in which the vehicle operating points are projected onto the motor efficiency map to evaluate the influence of real-world operating conditions on overall propulsion efficiency. Two operating scenarios are considered: with regenerative braking and without regenerative braking. The inverter and battery are modeled using quasi-static energy-based representations to ensure system-level energetic consistency while maintaining computational efficiency. The results show that rotor topology significantly influences vehicle-level energy consumption. The dual-layer IPM configuration reduces net WLTP energy demand by approximately 9% and increases the estimated driving range from about 489 km to 535 km compared to the single-layer V-shaped configuration. Variations in rotor topology led to different efficiency distributions, which leads to systematic differences in battery energy demand and achievable driving range. The results highlight the importance of aligning traction motor design with realistic operating-point distributions rather than optimizing solely for peak efficiency or marginal improvements in regenerative braking performance.

Demand for useful heat it is the essential condition in the qualification of electricity production in high efficiency cogeneration. A solution to provide the demand for useful heat and compensation of load variations over time it is the storage of thermal energy. The paper presents the technical and economic analysis of the heat storage systems use for a cogeneration unit with ORC technology and biomass fuel.

This paper presents the development of an enhanced power supply designed for an intelligent traffic light used as a visible light communications emitter. In the context of an increasing preoccupation for alternative energy sources, the system is being supplied with solar energy which is converted in electric energy by a photovoltaic panel. In order to improve the efficiency of the panel, the system is enhanced with a patented solar tracking system and a microcontroller which is continuously monitoring the provided energy and is deciding its optimal use. The extra energy supplied by the solar panel can be stored in a supercapacitors block and used during unfavorable weather conditions or during the night time.
