13836 - Electrical Machines for Flight Applications Modulübersicht

Module Number: 13836
Module Title:Electrical Machines for Flight Applications
  Elektrische Maschinen für Fluganwendungen
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Möhlenkamp, Georg
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome: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.
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.
