Electrical Machines for Flight Applications
Elektrische Maschinen für Fluganwendungen
6 CPWinterEN
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
• Fundamental lectures in electrical engineering and electrical machines
Contents
Students learn the dedicated requirements for electrical machines in flight applications (compared to other traction and industrial applications). Different designs to achieve those requirements like high speed PMSM or low speed axial flux machines are designed and calculated. Different power converter designs and their potential integration into the electrical machine are constructed. The integration into aircraft bodies is explored.
Learning outcomes
Students learn the dedicated requirements and solutions for electrical machines in flight applications. Under the very high requirements concerning power density, reliability and safety, different designs of electrical machines for motor and generator applications are discussed.
