Livrables

Documents, reports (5)

Battery material and pouch cell specification

This report will document the specifications of the selected electrochemistry, the prototype pouch cells to be manufactured and updates on achievable performances.

Advanced Electric Machines Technologies Report

The outcome of the trade studies and preliminary analysis of new key technologies for high-power compact airborne electrical machines will be summarized. All the different electrical machine modular configurations studied and their performance resulting from the added degrees of current control freedom will be reported. Performance in terms of fault tolerance capability, ability of higher power density and ability for harmonic and vibration cancellation will be detailed.

State-of-the-art Review Report

This Deliverable will report the results of intensive technological review related to the modular TBBs for M2EA EPS.

Report on M2EA battery pack concept

This report will document the M2EA battery module and pack concept including assessment of electrical performance and thermal management aspects. The M2EA battery pack simulation model will be delivered as FMU.

V&V Plan

Detailed V&V Plan will be provided, setting TRL targets for M2EA configuration and basic principles behind V&V. The plan will also include a Compliance Matrix reporting the means of compliance for each identified requirement.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Project website

A project website will be set up within 3 months of the project start to promote the project and its results to the scientific and technological community. This will be continuously updated to include the latest news on the project and its progress.

Collection of M2EA EPS Thermal Loads

In this report, the partners input on relevant M²EA EPS devices (TBBs) and their preferred location will be gathered and technological solutions for thermal management will be proposed. The list will be extended with additional main heat producers in an aircraft. Reduced order models will be provided for integration in the aircraft thermal model.

Initial version of the aircraft thermal model with dummy heat loads

Report on a first version of a thermal management model with zonal subdivision of the reference aircraft. Thermal loads will be represented as dummy heat loads. First mission profiles will be simulated to demonstrate the capability of the model.
