Hybrid ElectriC regional Aircraft distribution Technologies (HECATE)

航空业需要实现《欧洲绿色协议》的宏伟目标。这意味着需要逐步转向混合动力支线飞机，以显著减少燃油消耗。这只能通过能够安全地处理高功率和高电压水平的配电网络来实现，最终达到几兆瓦。HECATE项目将解决系统重量和功率密度的相关挑战，雷电、电弧和电磁干扰的高压挑战，以及优化的热管理，此外还将通过数字双胞胎实现设计过程的数字化。这将导致在系统集成架构级别上全面优化的变革性技术块。HECATE项目将在TRL5的铜鸟中展示一个bbb500kw的建筑。这将提供对高压挑战以及如何缓解这些挑战的更清晰理解，并提供2035年新型混合动力支线飞机CAJU第二阶段飞行演示和开发的可扩展性路线图。此外，还将评估环境影响和LCA。为了实现最佳一致性和确保可认证性，HECATE将与其他清洁航空项目(例如：HER-01用于兆瓦推进，HER-02用于热能，TRA-01用于建筑，TRA-02用于认证)以及权威机构和标准组织（例如EASA， EUROCAE）。作为一组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，并充分实现该呼叫的预期结果。这个由37个成员组成的联盟动员了整个现有供应链中的欧盟关键行业：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rto，补充和加强了行业，也确保了获得的知识嵌入到未来的研究和教育计划中。HECATE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.
