Piezo Power Supply Module for Piezo Actuator Bench

Objective

"The Green Rotorcraft research Consortium of Clean Sky (CS-GRC) requests the development of a Piezo Power Supply module (PPS) and the associated Man Machine Interface (MMI).
CEDRAT (coordinator, SME) and UJF-G2ELAB (partner, lab from Grenoble Joseph Fourier University) forms a consortium using their shared experience on piezoelectric actuators and high efficiency high power supplies to meet the GRC request by the PPSMPAB project.
The PPSMPAB project aims at developing 2 PPS offering the highest required power (16kVA) with a high efficiency, for driving piezo actuators, accounting for further helicopter applications.
The proposed development splits the need in 3 main items: The preferred DC-DC converter providing the DC sources would be an isolated full bridge resonant converter, with adjustable bus DC voltage. The DC-AC 2-channels switching amplifier will provide the 2x8kVA power with adjustable output voltage range. The preferred approach is today a full bridge offering bipolar output. For highest targeted voltages, multilevel amplifiers will be considered. The MMI will combine a digital platform and associate software, preferred one being Labview Real-Time RIO.
For the PPSMPAB project, CEDRAT and UJF-G2ELAB propose the following WBS: WP1 - Management: CEDRAT will perform a technical, contractual and financial administration of the project and will guarantee the objectives and deadline complying. WP2 - Design concept & architecture: UJF-G2ELAB will analyse electronic architectures (several being identified in the proposal) and technologies (MOSFET vs IGBT) and will present the results in form of trade-off, allowing the GRC Consortium to select the one to develop. WP3 - Detailed design & manufacturing: CEDRAT will perform the PPSM detailed design and manufacture two prototypes. WP4 - System validation tests: CEDRAT will perform requested tests on PAB and EDS benches and provide both support and the final report with recommendations on PPS modules."

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
