Ricardo Role Ricardo were first able to apply our breadth and depth of engineering knowledge to assess many potential technologies (including hydraulics, pneumatics, and flywheel systems) before identifying Li-Ion battery electric as the most promising to meet the KERS targets. Ricardo were then able to apply our in-depth knowledge of battery chemistry, battery management, power electronics and electric machine design to develop systems and deliver race-winning solutions to the track. Results and Benefits Ricardo were able to accelerate our clients’ programmes by bringing experienced personnel from different industry sectors and provide knowledge in disciplines new to motorsport. By understanding the fundamentals of these technologies, we were able to push the boundaries of performance beyond even the expectations of the component suppliers, and to deliver engineering services and components leading to race winning performances Ricardo role Ricardo have identified advanced kinetic hybrids as very effective energy storage systems for a number of applications involving frequent speed changes such as motorsport originally initiated by new opportunities in Formula 1. The technology behind conventional electrical hybrids is well understood, but the systems remain costly and have low overall efficiencies due to the conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy and then to chemical energy for storage. Results and benefits Ricardo has developed expertise in all components of mechanical hybrid systems and has a suite of patents to protect IP To eliminate the need for vacuum seals a non-penetrative magnetic coupling system is used to transfer kinetic energy through the housing High efficiency bearing solutions are being developed for the flywheel A variety of CVT solutions can be used to connect the flywheel to the driveline.
