Workshop on Controls Development and Testing for Electrical Aviation
Workshop on Controls Development and Testing for Electrical Aviation
✈️ Shaping the Future of Electrical Aviation with Real-Time Simulation & HIL Testing
Excited to announce that the IEEE PELS UK and Ireland Section Chapter is co-hosting an in-person workshop with the University of Bath and the IAAPS focused on Controls Development and Testing for Electrical Aviation on September 3, 2026, in Bristol, UK. This event will bring together industry and academic leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities driving the next generation of electric aircraft.
Explore the latest advances in:
➡️Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing
➡️Real-time simulation for aerospace systems
➡️Battery Management Systems (BMS)
➡️Electrified propulsion systems
➡️Power management and protection systems
➡️Aerospace electrical network validation
➡️Power electronics and control development
The workshop will feature technical presentations and insights from experts representing organizations including Vertical Aerospace, GKN Aerospace, Collins Aerospace, the University of Bath, the University of Nottingham, and OPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES.
As aerospace moves toward higher levels of electrification, the ability to validate controls, power systems, and protection architectures using high-fidelity real-time simulation is becoming critical to reducing development risks and accelerating innovation.
