Dynamic Simulation of the Electrical Energy Consumption of Future Regional All-Electric Aircraft

The paper presents a numerical tool named Shared Simulation Environment (SSE) developed within Clean Sky - Green Regional Aircraft (GRA) platform - All Electric Aircraft (AEA) domain. In the All-Electric Aircraft an appropriate management of the electrical power available aboard is required to avoid excessive peaks of consumption with respect to generators capabilities. The SSE aims at the dynamic simulation of the various on-board systems of the new all-electric GRA, with particular focus on the electrical energy absorption. Such a tool is developed in order to permit the design and the validation of the electrical energy management logics to be implemented aboard, which are under development within the project. The paper briefly summarizes the scopes of GRA / AEA project and of the SSE tool. It describes the tool, the partners involved in its implementation, the energy management logics applied, the performances obtained and some examples of results.
