Project description
Novel hybrid power modules for aircraft
The scarcity and cost of fuel options have created a pressing demand for improved engines and power modules for aircraft and beyond. These innovative solutions can effectively optimise fuel consumption and costs. However, despite their potential, hybrid power modules are currently under-researched and lack funding. To address this, the EU-funded AMPS project proposes a two-fold plan. Initially, it will focus on designing and developing a ground-breaking power module, laying the groundwork for two distinct power converter types suitable for commercial aircraft. Secondly, the project will demonstrate the module’s efficiency in power converter applications through a specially designed showcase.
Objective
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the use of integrated hybrid power modules in the design of aircraft power converters. The project aims to show that using a standardized power module for various converter topologies will give numerous benefits, including higher power denisty, lower cost and higher reliability.
This first part of the project entails the design and manufacture of a Power Module which will form the building block for two different power converter types which can be used in commercial aircraft power distribution applications.
The second part of the project entails the demonstration of the use of the power module, which will be developed in the first part of the project, in power converter applications by designing and building a matrix contactor demonstrator, which will demonstrate the benifits of the modular approach, including small size, high effiency and modularity.
The project will also look at the trade-offs of different design choices for the power module, in this particular application.
