14905 - Control of Electrified Aero Engines Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14905
Module Title:Control of Electrified Aero Engines
  Regelung Elektrifizierter Luftfahrtantriebe
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Schiffer, Johannes
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Enghardt, Lars
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:

The students will get a deeper understanding of the challenges presented by the need to control electrified aeronautical propulsion systems. They will learn to formulate mathematical models of the components involved in the control system, analyze the behavior of those models, and develop controllers for such components using  linear and non-linear methods.

Contents:

Air transport of the future will have to be more climate friendly. The lecture provides an overview of the technological development required to guarantee the reliable, safe, and environmentaly friendly performance of novel hybrid or purely electrified engines for civil aircraft. In parallel, the course will introduce control theoretical topics motivated by the application.
