Updated 09/10/19
A seminar looking at the future of energy generation, and the roles magnetics will play. Delegates from industry and academia will hear about many types of generation and related subjects, including fusion, wind, and tidal energy generation, and materials, machine design, research directions and more.
The programme is being developed, and there’ll be more details as they’re finalised. A tour of Durham University’s Superconductivity facilities or a short tour of the School of Engineering including the energy conversion and wind tunnel labs will be included in the seminar.
Chairs
- Dr Arwyn Thomas, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Ltd
- Dr Hamed Bahmani, Durham University
- Mr Chris Riley, Dassault Systèmes
DRESS CODE
The dress code for the event is business attire / smart casual.

High Performance Magnetic Materials for Sustainable Energy Applications
by Jiawei Mi of University of Hull
Magnetic materials play an important role in improving the efficiency and performance of devices in electric power generation, conditioning, conversion, transportation, etc. High performance and low cost permanent magnetic materials are essential for direct-drive electric motors in energy generation and transportation industry. In this presentation, I give an overview on the recent advances in the design and manufacturing of high performance rare-earth intermetallic magnetic materials, with an emphasis on the applications to electrical machines.

Advances in Electrical Machine Design for Electrification
by Jonathan Godbehere of Motor Design Ltd
Transportation is seeing a rapid growth in electric technology. Continuous improvements in electrical machines are required in the areas of reliability, system cost and performance. Soft and hard magnetic materials have a critical role to play in these advancements, and this presentation will explore the areas in which this will affect future electric machine development. Multi-physics simulation and design optimisation are becoming an increasingly important component of the design lifecycle, allowing improvements in performance and a reduction of the development time of an electrical machine.
