Hybrid ElectriC regional Aircraft distribution TEchnologies

航空业需要实现欧洲绿色协议的宏伟目标。这意味着混合动力支线飞机需要一个步骤的变化，以显着减少燃料燃烧。这只能通过能够安全地处理高功率和高电压水平（最终高达几兆瓦）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，雷电、电弧和电磁干扰带来的高压挑战，以及优化的热管理，此外还将通过数字孪生子实现设计过程的数字化。这将导致变革性的技术砖，在系统集成架构层面进行整体优化。HECATE项目将在TRL 5的铜鸟中展示>500 kW的架构。这将使人们更清楚地了解高压挑战以及如何缓解这些挑战，并为CAJU第2阶段飞行演示和2035年新建混合动力支线飞机的开发提供可扩展性路线图。此外，还将评估环境影响和LCA。为了实现最佳协调并确保可认证性，HECATE将与其他清洁航空项目（例如，用于MW推进的HER-01，用于热力的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团体（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，并充分实现该呼吁的预期成果。这个由37个成员组成的联盟动员了整个现有供应链中的主要欧盟行业：从飞机原始设备制造商到系统集成商，再到系统和子系统供应商，其中5家是中小企业。17个研究与技术组织补充和加强了这些行业，这也确保了所获得的知识嵌入到未来的研究和教育计划中。HECATE申请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 establish relationships 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 fulfil 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 also ensures knowledge gained is embedded in future research and education programs.
