Project description
High-power electric motors key for flying electric aircraft
The EU-funded HIVOMOT project will investigate solutions to address the scientific and technical challenges arising from the use of high-voltage, high-power electric drives at high altitudes. Modelling activities will shed more light on technical issues related to inverter-fed high-voltage insulation and arcing effects in electric machines. The project will conduct research into the electromagnetic, electrical, thermal and mechanical design of actual electric machine topologies to assess the limits of each technology in high-power, high-voltage operations. Insulation and thermal management approaches will be investigated, and assessments of their reliability at high altitudes will also be carried out. The project envisions the design of an electric motor prototype relying on the use of high-temperature superconducting elements.
