Análise de performance comparativa entre as propulsões híbrido-elétrica e convencional aplicada a uma aeronave regional utilizando a plataforma suave

Abstract

The comparative performance analysis project between a hybrid-electric system of aeronautical propulsion and a conventional system applied to a regional aircraft is the objective of this work. It contains the motivations, given the global context of aviation; a succinct explanation of the concepts of aeronautical hybrid propulsion, as well as its state of the art in the market; a presentation of aeronautical hybridization topologies and the parts of their systems; and finally, the main proposal that consists in the development of a comparative analysis of the use of hybrid-electric propulsion in relation to a conventional aeronautical propulsion system. The comparative results are defined through an estimate of a mission performance of the regional commercial aircraft ATR-72-600, modeled and simulated in the open source software SUAVE in python language. The main expected result of this work is the conclusion about the technical feasibility (advantages and disadvantages) of the application of this hybridization technology for this aircraft based on specific fuel consumption and specific range; and the maturation of knowledge in hybrid systems for further optimization analysis of the hybridization level in the aircraft.
