Project description
On-board power and data network designs face increasing demands
Increasing electrification of aircraft has numerous benefits, including lighter weight and lower fuel consumption and emissions, more compact and reliable systems and less maintenance. Much attention has been devoted to the high-voltage electrical driveline. The power and data transmission networks for supporting everything from more electrical sensed and actuated aircraft functions to passenger-related systems, contributing to ever-increasing aircraft safety are equally important. The EU-funded ADENEAS project will develop innovative solutions for more electric and connected aircraft by leveraging the power of AI-based design tools to deal with increased complexity. The resulting self-configuring and autonomous modular power and data distribution networks will provide scalable solutions with high-performance, high-speed connectivity that ensures safety and cybersecurity.
Objective
More Electric and Connected Aircraft (MECA) is one of the most promising enablers to reach Flightpath 2050. But MECA asks for more electrical systems, which exchange more data which can be safety critical, and consume more electrical power leading to higher thermal dissipation. This leads to complexity, weight penalty and increased exposure to intended (cybersecurity) and unintended (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) interference. Overcoming these barriers requires an interdisciplinary cooperation and, in this context, the ADENEAS project emerged, aiming at paving the way for a safe, light, self-configuring, autonomous and modular power and data distribution network that is scalable to all aircraft sizes. To achieve this long-term objective, ADENEAS will define new architecture concepts, develop advanced Artificial Intelligence-based design tools, enabling technologies for intra-aircraft data communication and for power network and a cooling system. The project will also demonstrate the integration of the data and power network and cooling system, initiate standardisation activities and ensure commercial viability.
To achieve these objectives, ADENEAS will start from solid foundation of partner’s background, previous and ongoing R&D activities and will implement a stepwise approach from the definition of requirements and reference case (for small, medium and large aircraft) up to the assessment and evaluation of the developed, tested and demonstrated technologies. This includes strong involvement of an Industrial Advisory Board as well as standardisation perspective.
The ADENEAS future proof power and data network, scalable to all aircraft size, will support the Flightpath 2050 objective by allowing to save 0.7% block fuel burn and >156,000 kg of CO2 emitted per aircraft per year and secondary by optimizing maintenance and providing novel technologies to be deployed for increased passenger experience.
