Electric Machine for Landing Phase Kinetic Energy Recovery of Commercial Aircraft

EPSRC：Jakub Deja：EP/V519509/1预计到2050年，飞机造成的污染将比1990年高出7至10倍。为了解决这个问题，提出了一种安装在商用飞机上的动能回收系统。该系统广泛应用于汽车工业，但从未被提议用于航空航天应用。电机是一个限制因素，因为它们具有相对于重量的低功率输出。该研究项目将成为更广泛研究的一部分，并将专注于超越当前技术限制的电机开发，因此将允许以最小的重量惩罚满足航空航天应用要求。预期的交换结果是最终的电机拓扑选择和优化。此外，在整个交流过程中开发的网络将是长期合作的开始，重点是航空航天应用电机，这将使英国和加拿大受益。

EPSRC : Jakub Deja : EP/V519509/1The pollution from aircraft is expected to be seven to ten times higher in 2050 compared to 1990 level. To address the issue, a kinetic energy recovery system fitted onboard commercial aircraft is proposed. The system is widely used in automotive industry but has never been proposed for aerospace applications. Electric machines are a limiting factor because they have low power output relative to weight. This research project will be a part of the wider study and will focus on development of electric machine beyond current technological limits and therefore will allow to meet the aerospace application requirements at a minimum weight penalty. The expected exchange outcome is a finalized electric machine topology selection and optimization. In addition, the network developed throughout the exchange would be a beginning of long-term collaboration focused on electric machines for aerospace applications, which would benefit both the UK and Canada.
