Descrizione del progetto
Un’idea incisiva ed elettrizzante per velivoli più ecologici
Molti componenti del sistema energetico presente negli aeromobili convenzionali sono pneumatici, idraulici o meccanici e, per generare movimento, fanno affidamento su aria pressurizzata, un fluido incomprimibile o un’altra parte della struttura, come un ingranaggio. Le progettazioni di velivoli maggiormente elettrici, o completamente elettrici, consentono riduzioni significative in termini di peso, spazio, consumo di carburante, emissioni generate e costi a livello di funzionamento e manutenzione, aprendo la strada a un settore dell’aviazione più ecologico. Il progetto MISSION, finanziato dall’UE, sta sviluppando un avanzato sistema di distribuzione dell’energia elettrica per gli aeromobili. Non solo la tecnologia stessa si configurerà come un contributo di grande importanza, ma gli avanzati strumenti di modellizzazione e simulazione andranno a sostegno delle future progettazioni.
Obiettivo
The MISSION Consortium will bring together world-leading expertise in the field of aircraft electric power systems, power line communication systems, solid-state power electronics technologies, metaphysical modelling and simulation, control, validation testing and integration, to design, develop, manufacture and validate the advanced electrical power distribution system (EPDS) based on Multifunctional Power Network with Electrical Switching. This will be a key component in the creation and demonstration of the Multifunctional Fuselage demonstrator being developed within Clean Sky 2 LPA IADP platform 2.
The technical areas of work will cover advanced architectures for the Electric Power Systems (EPS) architecture including their design, control and analysis, Power Electronic Switches based on Solid-State Devices, onboard communication networks, power line communication systems, and Power Line Communication (PLC). The technical work will be completed with advanced methods in model-based design, as well as multi-physic modelling and simulation, together with world-recognised expertise in manufacturing, testing and qualification of EPDS for aerospace applications to. This will enable a step changebreakthrough in the design and development of integrated electrical power bus and communication system (IPBCS) for future aircraft platforms. by introducing highly innovative technological solutions leading to a substantial reduction of overall weight, making aircraft more efficient, hence reducing fuel burn and contributing towards more efficient, greener aviation.
