Modelling of a Hybrid-Electric Light Aircraft

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract The European Research and Innovation Agenda as well as the NASA long-term programs have set ambitious targets in terms of emission reduction for the aviation industry. Continuous improvements of conventional technologies will not be enough to fulfil these ambitious requirements; there is a need for revolutionary aircraft concepts and/or ...

Conceptual Design of Operation Strategies for Hybrid Electric Aircraft [PDF]

Energies, 2018
Ambitious targets to reduce emissions caused by aviation in the light of an expected ongoing rise of the air transport demand in the future drive the research of propulsion systems with lower CO2 emissions. Regional hybrid electric aircraft (HEA) powered by conventional gas turbines and battery powered electric motors are investigated to test hybrid ...

Using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to improve access to blood in low- and middle-income countries: Current challenges and opportunities. [PDF]

Vox Sang
Abstract Blood transfusion is life‐saving for patients in emergencies, but low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) often face a severe shortage of banked blood. Establishing blood banks in rural areas presents substantial logistical and economic challenges for many LMICs.

Aircraft-level sensitivities of electric network component performance for (hybrid-) electric aircraft [PDF]

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Research on electric aviation energy networks tends to focus on either detailed studies of individual subsystems, or full-aircraft analyses that use highly simplified network (component) models. This paper aims to bridge that gap by performing sensitivity studies for various network parameters (HVDC cables, power converters, and motors), evaluating ...

Predictive Energy Management for Hybrid Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2023
We present a Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for energy management in aircraft with hybrid electric propulsion systems consisting of gas turbine and electric motor components. Series and parallel configurations are considered. By combining a point-mass aircraft dynamical model with models of electrical losses and losses in the gas turbine, the
