About the session
Environmental regulations to reduce noise and NOx levels has led to some disruptive technologies being identified in future aerospace transportation technologies such as hybrid electric propulsion. This presentation looks at the design of a fully superconducting motor for an aerospace distributed propulsion fan motor. A benchmark aerospace specification of 1 MW, 12,000 rpm was chosen and the design of a conventional permanent-magnet (PM) machine was used to assess the performance of the equivalent fully superconducting AC motor. Previously at Imperial College, Cambridge University and Brook Crompton. Joined UMIST (Manchester) now University of Manchester in 2000. Director of the Roll-Royce University Technology Centre on Power Conversion Systems. Fellow of the IET (formerly IEE), UK and currently Editor of the IET Journal – Electrical Systems in Transportation. Research interests in design and modelling of motors, generators and drives.
