Develop Hybrid Electric Aircraft Power Systems with Simscape

Overview

In this webinar, we will show how Simscape can be used to develop hybrid electric aircraft power systems and how we can map computational tools to different stages of a technology development cycle. We will show how to,

• Design and evaluate different technologies such as PMSG, AC/DC converters, batteries, and fuel cells.
• Choose an appropriate level of model fidelity to help answer a specific engineering question.
• Test components in isolation to confirm functional behavior and recognize when behavior is incorrect.
• Integrate different components into a system and develop management systems to achieve an overall operational objective.
• Prepare a model for real-time simulation and/or deployment as a digital twin.
