National Fusion Facility Achieves Milestone 

The DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego, home of the largest magnetic fusion research machine in the U.S., recently surpassed its 200,000th experimental cycle since it began operations, marking an important milestone in the development of clean fusion energy. Referred to as “shots,” each of these tests and discharges have advanced the U.S. fusion research program’s collective understanding of how to create, shape, and confine plasmas to support the development of fusion as a source of base-load energy in the future.  […]

Ontario Emerging as Technology Center for Next-Gen e-Power 

Radiating from brainpower of the Automotive Excellence Centre at McMaster University, startup motor developer Enedym in collaboration with industrial neighbors Toyota Tsusho, a manufacturer of industrial trucks, and JFE Shoji Power Canada, a manufacturer of transformer cores and electrical steel products, are transforming their locale in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada into a center for next generation e-power technology. The place has roots. More than a hundred years ago, George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla hung out there.

Tech Tips: From desktop simulation to motor drive testing 

By Dr.-Ing. Christoph Hahn, Head of Technical Marketing, Speedgoat GmbH

Designing electric motor controls and testing embedded controllers for motor drives is time-consuming, and tests with rotating components and under high-voltage conditions are potentially dangerous. Testing intelligently using digital twins allows for a safe testing environment that not only prevents equipment damage but also personal injury. Furthermore, it provides a continuous workflow across all test phases within a single platform. Development thus becomes faster and more innovative, and errors can be detected early on. […]
