In Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo : Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition--2019-- : presented at The ASME Turbo Expo 2019 : Turbiomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition, June 17-21, 2019, Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Book 3. https://doi.org/10.1115/GT2019-91335

To achieve the goals of substantial improvements in efficiency and emissions set by Flightpath 2050, fundamentally different concepts are required. As one of the most promising solutions, electrification of the aircraft primary propulsion is currentl... Read More about A Framework for Optimization of Hybrid Aircraft.

Optimised low voltage loads allocation for MEA electrical power systems (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Spagnolo, C., Madonna, V., Sumsurooah, S., Hill, C. I., & Bozhko, S. (2019). Optimised low voltage loads allocation for MEA electrical power systems. In AIAA/IEEE Electric Aircraft Technologies Symposium (EATS 2019) (1-8). https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2019-4489

This paper proposes a smart controller design for an automated power load allocation for the more electric aircraft application. As the aircraft manufacturers are moving towards more electrified solutions, power management and optimization are becomi...

Finite state machine control for aircraft electrical distribution system (2019)
Journal Article
Spagnolo, C., Sumsurooah, S., Hill, C. I., & Bozhko, S. (2019). Finite state machine control for aircraft electrical distribution system. Journal of Engineering, 2018(13), 506-511. https://doi.org/10.1049/joe.2018.0039

This study deals with the development of new control logic for more electric aircraft (MEA) electrical power systems (EPSs). A key aspect of the MEA concept is that traditional pneumatic and hydraulic loads are replaced by electrical equivalents. The...
