“…The weight of the PMAD is added. Latest research focuses on high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials that offer the best available power to weight ratios [29] with power densities up to 40 kW/kg [30]. These superconducting materials conduct currents with nearly no resistive losses [31].…”

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 CO 2 emissions. Regional hybrid electric aircraft (HEA) powered by conventional gas turbines and battery powered electric motors are investigated to test hybrid propulsion operation strategies. Especially the role of the battery within environmentally friendly concepts with significantly reduced carbon footprint is analyzed. Thus, a new simulation approach for HEA is introduced. The main findings underline the importance of choosing the right power-to-energy-ratio of a battery according to the flight mission. The gravimetric energy and power density of the electric storages determine the technologically feasibility of hybrid concepts. Cost competitive HEA configurations are found, but do not promise the targeted CO 2 emission savings, when the well-to-wheel system is regarded with its actual costs. Sensitivity studies are used to determine external levers that favor the profitability of HEA.

“…A lo largo del siglo XX su uso se limitó a aplicaciones tales como la fusión eléctrica, soldadura eléctrica y tratamientos térmicos que requerían fuentes de alimentación con frecuencias comprendidas entre 1.000 y 10.000 Hz (Walker, 1946). Actualmente hay un renovado interés por los AI, que se están utilizando en los sistemas de iluminación y aire acondicionado de los ferrocarriles (Pillai et al, 2008), en grandes vehículos especiales para minería y obra civil (Milspec Manufacturing) y, especialmente, en aplicaciones a altas velocidades de rotación, acoplados a un volante de inercia (Severson et al, 2015) o al eje de una turbina de gas, en generadores superconductores (Sivasubramaniam et al, 2009). …”

ResumenConsiderando que existen restricciones electromagnéticas, mecánicas y térmicas que condicionan el diseño de las máquinas eléctricas de alta velocidad, se establecen los criterios que conducen a una adecuada selección de la máquina. Además, teniendo en cuenta el estado actual de la tecnología, se presentan los valores críticos en la relación (potencia de salida)/(velocidad de rotación). El artículo se centra en los generadores síncronos de alta velocidad, especialmente en los generadores con imanes permanentes, los alternadores inductores y los alternadores con conmutación de flujo, haciendo hincapié en sus fundamentos constructivos y en sus ventajas e inconvenientes. El análisis se completa con una evaluación crítica que los clasifica, de acuerdo con unos requisitos previamente definidos. Aunque la decisión de la elección final está muy condicionada por la aplicación de interés, puede afirmarse que, en general, los generadores síncronos con imanes permanentes en el rotor constituyen la mejor opción. Palabras clave: máquinas eléctricas de alta velocidad; generadores síncronos; alta frecuencia; alternadores inductores High-Speed Synchronous Generators. A Critical Assessment AbstractConsidering that there are electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal constraints that determine the design of high-speed electrical machines, the criteria that lead to adequate selection of the machine are established in this work. Moreover, taking into account the current state of technology, the critical values in the ratio (output power)/(rotation speed), are presented. The paper focuses on the high-speed synchronous generators, especially in permanent magnet generators, inductor alternators and flux switching alternators, emphasizing their constructive fundamentals and their advantages and disadvantages. The analysis is completed with a critical assessment that classifies them according to previously defined requirements. Although the decision of the final choice is largely determined by the application of interest, it can be said that, in general, synchronous generators with permanent magnets in the rotor are the best option.

“…Through the utilization of High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) materials, the gravimetric specific power and the efficiency of the electrical component can be significantly improved. The most common application of HTS materials at this point in time is for electric motors and generators [38,40,41]. The application of HTS technology to the transmission cable is also considered [10,11].…”

Following the hybridization or complete electrification strategy of the electric drive pursued on terrestrial vehicles, the aviation industry is considering with great attention the application of electrical technology and power electronics for transport aircraft. The growing interest towards electric application in transport aircraft is driven by the ambitious targets for aviation declared by Europe and by the United-States of America and is motivated by the growing evidence that evolutionary improvement of the technologies might not be sufficient to fulfill these targets. As a result, the introduction of disruptive technologies turns out to be essential. With respect to the progress and perspective in electrical technology, electric drive applications to transport aircraft reveals itself to be a promising field in view of meeting the future goals.The focus of this chapter is the assessment of the electrification of the propulsion system of transport aircraft. While aiming for the ultimate goal of universally-electric aircraft, hybrid-electric approach will be first necessary to match the requirement of aircraft propulsion system and the development pace of the electrical components technology. The combinatorial variety of hybrid-electric and universally-electric propulsion system topology considered for transport aircraft application as well as key enabling technologies are first reviewed. A compendium of hybrid-electric and universally-electric advanced aircraft concepts is then proposed to obtain a notion of the cloud of aircraft configurations and electric drive options investigated up to this point in time. Finally, the integrated prospects of hybrid-electric aircraft are investigated to establish the feasibility of hybrid-electric aircraft for future market segments.Keywords: Hybrid-electric aircraft, Universally-electric aircraft, Hybrid-electric propulsion topology, Battery-fuel hybrid propulsion system, Aircraft conceptual design, Aircraft Sizing, Aircraft Performance IntroductionFollowing the hybridization or complete electrification strategy of the electric drive pursued on terrestrial vehicles, the aviation industry is considering with great attention the application of electrical technology and power electronics for transport aircraft.
