Abstract
VTT has implemented the demand of energy and resource
efficiency in the framework of Ecodesign concept covering
the whole material life cycle from material sources to
material design and manufacturing, component life time
optimisation and finally recycling concepts. The vision
of the virtually supported Ecodesign concept is to create
optimized and efficient machine and device components
regarding their whole lifecycle by evolving multiscale
modelling. In this presentation we will introduce our
development work within our Ecodesign concept by giving
two case examples including Cu flow in electrical motor
and Ni flow in waste incinerator. In the first case we
will discuss raw material scarcity based design criteria,
technological challenges and possibilities of Cu
substitution and finally energy efficiency in system
level. In the latter we will discuss multiscale modelling
approach starting from raw materials and new design
criteria regarding performance, life time, maintenance
strategies and energy efficiency in system level
operation.
