Optimal Power Flow Based Architecture Design for Electrical Power System in More-Electric Aircraft (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, X., Atkin, J., Bozhko, S., & Hill, C. I. (2019, October). Optimal Power Flow Based Architecture Design for Electrical Power System in More-Electric Aircraft. Presented at IEEE 45th Annual Conference of the Industrial Electronics Society (IECON'2019), Lisbon, Portugal

When designing an electric power system (EPS) architecture for a more electric aircraft (MEA), the total weight of the system is treated as one of the most important criteria. For the weight saving purpose, this paper proposes an optimal power flow (... Read More about Optimal Power Flow Based Architecture Design for Electrical Power System in More-Electric Aircraft.

A reliability approach for the MEA power system architecture design optimization problem (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Recalde, A., Bozhko, S., Atkin, J., & Hill, C. (2018, November). A reliability approach for the MEA power system architecture design optimization problem. Presented at 2018 IEEE International Conference on Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway, Ship Propulsion and Road Vehicles & International Transportation Electrification Conference (ESARS-ITEC)

In the literature, there has been thorough research on reliability-based design in different fields. However, aircraft power system investigations have mostly dealt with sub-system optimization. Hence, there is considerable potential to excel innova... Read More about A reliability approach for the MEA power system architecture design optimization problem.

The importance of considering pushback time and arrivals when routing departures on the ground at airports (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Stergianos, C., Atkin, J., Schittekat, P., Nordlander, T. E., Gerada, C., & Morvan, H. The importance of considering pushback time and arrivals when routing departures on the ground at airports. Presented at 8th International Conference on Applied Operational Research (ICAOR 2016)

With the constant increase in air traffic, airports are facing capacity problems. Many airports are increasingly interested in utilising optimisation methods for specific airport processes. However, many such processes do happen in parallel, and maxi... Read More about The importance of considering pushback time and arrivals when routing departures on the ground at airports.
