1. A system, comprising:
an axial field rotary energy device having an axis, a printed circuit board (PCB) stator and rotors having respective permanent magnets (PM), and the rotors are configured to rotate about the axis relative to the PCB stator;
a variable frequency drive (VFD) comprising VFD components coupled to the axial field rotary energy device;
an enclosure containing the axial field rotary energy device and the VFD, such that the axial field rotary device and the VFD are integrated together within the enclosure; and
a cooling system integrated within the enclosure and configured to cool the axial field rotary energy device and the VFD.
