POWER is an R&D project co-funded by the Aeronautics Technology Programme managed by CDTI, whose objectives are focused on research into the enabling technologies needed for the development of an electric propulsion system for sustainable aircraft.
The companies AIRBUS Operations, LANCOR 2000, OBEKI INNOBE, SKYLIFE Engineering and AERTEC have held the annual monitoring meeting of the POWER project together with the CDTI monitoring technician.
This conference, coordinated by Airbus Operations as leader of the POWER consortium, took place at AERTEC's Development Centre at the Aerópolis aeronautical complex in Seville.
POWER - Power Electric System Technologies for Aviation Decarbonisation is an R&D project co-funded by the European Commission. AERONAUTICS TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMME in the "Major Strategic Projects" category for the year 2023.
It focuses on investigating the enabling technologies necessary for the development of an electric propulsion system for sustainable aircraft. In addition to contributing to the process of decarbonisation of aviation, POWER aims to cover:
- Functional and safety implications of the latest generation of HV (high voltage) contactors;
- High efficiency high voltage conversion and distribution concepts;
- High efficiency and power density electrical machines; and
- Intelligent integration, architecture and topology of electric motors and modular MCU (Motor Control Unit) to reduce overall weight.
Este proyecto ha sido subvencionado por el CDTI, con el apoyo del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, con número de expediente 00160225 / PTAG-20231007 a través de la convocatoria para el año 2023 del procedimiento de concesión de ayudas destinadas al “Programa Tecnológico Aeronáutico” del Programa Estatal para Catalizar la Innovación y el Liderazgo Empresarial del Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2021-2023, en el marco del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia.
