Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Galea, M., Pickering, S. J., Tighe, C., XU, Z., Hamiti, T., & Gerada, C. (2014). Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing. doi:10.1109/ICELMACH.2014.6960537

In this paper, the design and construction aspects of a wheel actuator to be used for aircraft taxiing on the ground and which will be located in the main landing gear are addressed. The main challenges with the application are the high torque densit... Read More about Development of an aircraft wheel actuator for green taxiing.

Mechanical and thermal management design of a motor for an aircraft wheel actuator (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Xu, Z., Galea, M., Tighe, C., Hamiti, T., Gerada, C., & Pickering, S. (2015). Mechanical and thermal management design of a motor for an aircraft wheel actuator. In 2014 17th International Conference on Electrical Machines and Systems (ICEMS). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICEMS.2014.7014056

A permanent magnet motor is designed as an actuator for taxiing large aircraft in an airport. The motor is attached to the main aircraft wheel to provide a direct drive. A special topology for this machine is developed selected and designed. Due to a... Read More about Mechanical and thermal management design of a motor for an aircraft wheel actuator.

Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Hill, C., Giangrande, P., Gerada, C., & Bozhko, S. (in press). Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica.

This paper presents a newly developed Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica. The library utilises a multi-level approach with increasing model complexity at progressively higher levels. All levels are fully interchangeable so as to provide a... Read More about Implementation of a multi-level Power Electronic Inverter library in Modelica.
