Descrizione del progetto
Testare il gruppo propulsore ibrido-elettrico modulare
I membri del programma di lavoro per l’agenda strategica per la ricerca e l’innovazione dell’impresa comune «Aviazione pulita» si propongono di sviluppare una comprensione approfondita delle caratteristiche operative relative alle architetture modulari del sistema di propulsione elettrica distribuita elettrico-ibrido, alimentato a batteria a celle a combustibile. Il progetto HyPoTraDe, finanziato dall’UE, progetterà, assemblerà e collauderà a terra una serie di queste architetture modulari con una potenza pari a 500 kW, che comprendono la gestione termica basata sulla criogenia per applicazioni di gruppi propulsori aeronautici. La campagna di collaudi a terra fornirà risultati quali una rapida caratterizzazione dell’architettura ottimale del sistema, la convalida per le mitigazione delle modalità dei guasti in relazione al rivoluzionario gruppo propulsore, la dimostrazione di complessi requisiti operativi e le capacità a prova di guasto del sistema di propulsione modulare.
Obiettivo
HyPoTraDe aims to design, assemble, and ground-test a set of 500-kW modular fuel cell-battery hybrid-electric DEP powertrain architectures, including cryo-enabled thermal management with ΘΕα > 0.12 emulating operation in a relevant environment (FL > 150). The ground testing campaign will lead to characterization of the optimal system architecture, validation of failure mode mitigations for the groundbreaking powertrain, demonstration of complex operating requirements (e.g. operation at high coolant temperatures, start-up and shut-down characteristics, in-flight restart and battery charging, etc.), and assessment of the fail-safe capabilities of the modular powertrain. Further, the system will be complemented with a digital twin, validated using the results from the ground test campaign. HyPoTrade covers the disruptive maturation and adaptation of fuel cell systems for aeronautical powertrain applications via ground testing of different system architectures with cryo-enabled heat management and representative electric loads, following the demonstrator strategy outlined in the CAJU SRIA.
The main impact of HyPoTraDe is the fast-track characterization of fuel cell powertrain architectures in relevant operating conditions, providing the members of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking with a comprehensive understanding on the operational characteristics of modular fuel cell-battery hybrid-electric DEP powertrain architectures. This will enable the focus of the efforts of the 2nd phase of the Clean Aviation Programme in the correct direction, helping to fulfil the ambitious goals of the Clean Aviation Programme for EIS of HER, SR and SMR hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2035.
