Descripción del proyecto
Sistemas de propulsión eléctrica eficientes para aeronaves
La propulsión eléctrica de aeronaves consiste en utilizar propulsores (hélices o ventiladores) impulsados por motores eléctricos para propulsar la aeronave. La tecnología requiere el desarrollo o el perfeccionamiento de varios componentes para garantizar que el sistema eléctrico suministra la potencia eléctrica necesaria para la propulsión de manera eficiente, al tiempo que mantiene las emisiones electromagnéticas dentro de los límites de seguridad. El proyecto EASIER, financiado con fondos europeos, es una colaboración interdisciplinar entre investigadores de diferentes países que llevarán a cabo investigaciones sobre varios temas relacionados con los sistemas de suministro de energía eléctrica. Más concretamente, investigarán los sistemas de filtrado, que eliminan las interferencias electromagnéticas (IEM), y los sistemas ligeros de interconexión por cableado eléctrico que limitan la generación de IEM. Además, estudiarán cómo mejorar la transferencia de calor de los sistemas eléctricos al exterior de las aeronaves.
Objetivo
Challenges presented by aircraft electric propulsion requires the development of new airborne technologies that enable expanding the electrification technology trend already impacting other areas, like ground transportation or the autonomous generation/usage of electricity from renewables, to efficient and economical air transportation. Those intended technologies must be capable of producing a highly efficient, lightweight, and compact aircraft electrical system that can supply the electric power for propulsion as well as for other uses while keeping electromagnetic emissions under safe limits compatible with airborne equipment operation and human safety. In addition, they shall control heat up of the system by enhanced thermal dissipation through a proper thermal management system.
With this aim, EASIER will bring together a multidisciplinary team in order to achieve the following objectives:
1. Investigating EMI filtering solutions with less volume and weight.
2. Investigating EWIS technologies with less radiated EMI, less volume and lower weight.
3. Improved heat transfer from electrical systems to the aircraft exterior.
4. Optimization of the integration of electrical systems with significant mutual impact.
5. Engagement with airframers and regulatory agencies.
6. System trade-off analysis and technology identification.
7. Roadmapping of hybrid/electric aircraft key enabling technologies in terms of EMI and thermal management.
To achieve the objectives a strong partnership is established among all members of the EASIER consortium from EU and US who will collaborate following a coordinated plan, with the Industrial Advisory Board and other consortium(s) executing areas 1-3 from the call.
