Description

PhD thesis in electric drives for aircraft applications

The main objective of the PhD is to investigate solutions for the scientific and technical challenges regarding the use of high voltage high power electric drives at high altitude conditions. Research into:

  • The implications of high voltage (HV) and altitude in the reliability and safety of actual systems and its technical solution

  • New HTS (High Temperature Superconductors) based electric drives for these conditions.

The research will be conducted within an H2020 project.
