DEVELOPMENT AND HIL-BASED VALIDATION OF AN ELECTRIC PROPULSION MOTOR FOR HYBRID AIRCRAFT APPLICATIONS

The aim of this work thesis is to develop a Simulink model and the associated control system for a six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor, with the goal of implementing a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) demonstrator based on Speedgoat technology. The work involve modeling activities, torque control system development and validation, as well as performance analysis of the system in both simulated and HIL configuration. The entire project is part of Clean Aviation’s research and development programme, to which Avio Aero contributes through the AMBER project, promoting the development of regional aviation based on hybrid propulsion technologies.
