Electrical power is being utilize d in areas such as vertical and winged propulsion\, flight and environment al controls\, utility actuation\, taxiing\, de-icing\, and anti-icing\, ea ch at varying levels of maturity. Additionally\, the need for higher effic iency electrical circuits requires higher voltages\, currents\, and freque ncies than current aerospace standards allow. The shift from using electri c generators to batteries as energy storage devices is transforming power distribution to High Voltage DC (HVDC)\, replacing the conventional 400Hz and variable frequency AC distribution systems. These changes are driving new requirements for electrical system architecture and the associated com ponents. These drivers necessitate enabling technologies from material sci ences\, high efficiency components \, and advanced algorithms to address t he challenges faced by the industry. This presentation will discuss the un derlying physics behind the drivers listed above and some of the enabling technologies being researched to address the industry’s evolving demand\ n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Waleed Said Dr\n\nExperienced Technologist with a demonstrated history of working in the aviation and aerospace industry.
