H2GEAR - Power Electronics and Network Development

“GKN项目与一个名为H2 GEAR的大型研究项目有关（https：//www.gknaerospace.com/en/our-technology/2021/H2Gear）。该项目旨在建造一架完全无排放的电动飞机--由氢燃料电池提供动力，为电动机发电。整个项目有来自工业合作伙伴和3所大学的60多人参与。我们致力于电力网络和电力电子-电动机正在曼彻斯特建造。已经有3名研究人员和一名博士生在纽卡斯尔工作，通过CDT还有2名博士生。“-初始项目简介：该项目的初始范围是研究GKN正在开发的地面演示器的比例版本，然后将评估电力电子和网络的实施将如何在演示器系统中运行。这将有助于工业合作伙伴为该项目开发机身和电气系统。

" The GKN project is connected to a large research project called H2GEAR (https://www.gknaerospace.com/en/our-technology/2021/H2Gear.) which is aimed at building a completely emission free electric aircraft - powered by hydrogen fuel calls that generate electricity for electric motors. The overall project has over 60 people working on it from the industrial partners and the 3 Universities involved. We work on the electrical network and the power electronics - the electric motor is being built at Manchester. There are already 3 research staff and one PhD student working here at Newcastle on the project with 2 more PhD students through the CDT." - Initial project brief.The initial scope of the project is focused on investigating a scale version of the ground-based demonstrator that is being developed by GKN, which will then lead on to assessment of how the implementation of the power electronics and network will operate in the demonstrator system. This will contribute to the industrial partners work in developing the airframe and electrical systems for the project.
