Research

Application of thermodynamic power synthesis in hybrid/battery-electric propulsion concepts for regional air traffic in order to model a holistic thermal management system. The Gasturb software is used for the power calculation and scaling of the gas turbine according to a concept of operation. The accompanying modeling of the electrical system and the subsystems (oil system, fuel system, secondary air system) takes place in the Matlab/Simulink environment.
