Project Goals and Objectives
-
Simulation and evaluation of the dynamic performance of GT, SOFC and batteries in a tightly coupled cycle-integrated hydrogen-based propulsion system of one megawatt.
-
Develop and mature necessary, transformative technologies for the coupling and the integrated operation of an airborne hybrid power and propulsion system of GT and SOFC.
-
Development of an overall controls approach to optimize power management and distribution of the IPPS and its validation in cyber-physical demonstrator of GT and SOFC coupling.
-
Cyber-physical demonstration for validation of TLR 3 of hydrogen combustion with steam ingestion to achieve zero CO2 emissions and at least a 50 % reduction in NOX emissions.
-
Contribution to Horizon Europe impact assessment, technical Committees, the Governing Board of the Clean Aviation and Clean Hydrogen partnerships, as well as the scientific community with a technology roadmap for GT-SOFC hybrid systems and open-access publication of datasets and models.
