Description du projet/ Project Description
Modeling and simulation of envisioned MEA electrical power architectures and components. Development and validation of a real-time/non-real-time simulation laboratory for the MEA and MEE concepts. Established methods will be used for the evaluation of operational requirements and research on optimizations within economical and safety constraints.

Objectifs/ Objectives
1) Develop a long-lasting collaboration between the university and the aerospace industry toward MEA and MEE research and development.
2) Develop and maintain R&D expertise for the MEA and MEE concepts. 
3) Develop a simulation and testing environment for aircraft electrical power system studies. 
4) Use numerical simulation tools for the development and validation of future electrical power topologies thus alleviating design costs within increased simulation and testing precision.
5) Provide basis for the simulation of other MEA concepts such as those of other R&D projects: generators, starters, converters, electric motors, electric actuation, power electronics, cooling systems, multiphase power architectures.
