Hybrid ElectriC regional Aircraft distribution Technologies (HECATE)

航空业需要实现欧洲绿色协议的雄心勃勃的目标。这意味着需要向混合动力支线飞机迈出一步，以显著减少燃料消耗。这只能通过能够安全地处理最终高达几兆瓦的高功率和高电压水平的配电网络来实现。Hecate项目将解决系统重量和功率密度的相关挑战，闪电、弧光和电磁干扰的高压挑战，以及优化的热管理，此外还将使用数字孪生兄弟实现设计过程的数字化。这将导致变革性的技术砖，这些技术砖在系统集成体系结构级别进行整体优化。Hecate项目将在TRL5展示一只铜鸟的500千瓦建筑。这将提供对高压挑战以及如何缓解这些挑战的更清晰的理解，并为CAJU第二阶段飞行示范和2035年新制造的混合动力支线飞机的开发提供可伸缩性路线图。此外，还将评估环境影响和生命周期评价。为了实现最佳匹配并确保可认证性，Hecate将与其他清洁航空项目(例如，用于兆瓦推进的HER-01、用于热能的HER-02、用于建筑的TRA-01、用于认证的TRA-02)以及权威机构和标准组织(例如EASA、EUROCAE)建立关系。作为一套集成良好的关键使能技术，Hecate将为清洁航空SRIA及其预期影响做出贡献，并全面实现电话会议的预期结果。这个由37个成员组成的联盟动员了整个现有供应链中以欧盟为基础的关键行业：从飞机OEM到系统集成商，再到系统和子系统供应商，其中5家是中小企业。17个RTO，补充和加强行业，这也确保所获得的知识被嵌入未来的研究和教育计划。赫卡特要求34,210,348欧元的赠款。

Aviation needs to meet the ambitious targets of the European Green Deal. This means a step change is needed towards hybrid electric regional aircraft to significantly reduce the fuel burn. This can only be accomplished with power distribution networks that can safely handle the high power and high voltage levels, ultimately up to several Megawatt. The HECATE project will address the associated challenges ofsystem weight and power density, high voltage challenges with lightning, arcing and electromagnetic interference as well as optimized thermal management, in addition to digitizing the design process with digital twins. This will lead to transformative technology bricks, which are holistically optimized at system integration architecture level. The HECATE project will demonstrate a >500 kW architecture in a copper bird at TRL5. This will provide a clearer understanding of high voltage challenges and how to mitigate them, with a scalability roadmap towards CAJU Phase 2 flight demonstration and exploitation in a 2035 new built Hybrid Electric Regional aircraft. Also, environmental impact and LCA will be assessed. For optimal alignment and ensuring certifiability, HECATE will establishrelationships with other Clean Aviation projects(e.g. HER-01 for MW propulsion, HER-02 for thermal, TRA-01 for architecture, TRA-02 for certification) and authorities and standards groups (e.g. EASA, EUROCAE). As a set of key enabling technologies that are well integrated, HECATE will contribute to the Clean Aviation SRIA and its expected impacts, and fully fulfill the call's expected outcomes. The 37-member consortium mobilizes key EU based industries throughout the entire existing supply chain: from aircraft OEMs to system integrators, to system and subsystems suppliers, 5 of which are SMEs. 17 RTOs, complement and reinforce the industries, which alsoensures knowledge gained is embedded in future research and education programs. HECATE requests 34 210 348€ of grant.
