Funded by EPSRC

About AETN The workshop is organised by the EPSRC funded Airport Energy Technologies Network (AETN), which was founded in 2008 to develop the low carbon energy research community and its links with the key industrial and commercial players in the Airport, Airline and Aeronautical industries. The Network participants are conducting research projects which represent high value to commerce and industry in terms of energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and compliance with future operating practices and legislation.

Transport research R&D skills profile

Prof Stewart presenting on the School of Engineering's Transport R&D capabilities in Brussels at the EU

The Transport Research open days gave us a great opportunity to present on our capabilities, network, and engage in brokerage activities with potential project collaborators.

We have long-standing, significant research experience in these areas and our capabilities in this area can be summarised:

  • Power optimised systems for aeronautical and automotive applications, including the More Electric Aircraft  and Electric/Hybrid Vehicles
  • Electrical machines, power converters and energy storage
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Electromechanical/Electrohydraulic actuation systems
  • IC and gas turbine combustion, emissions and performance testing, analysis and multi-dimensional (CFD) modelling
  • Fluid-Solid interactions
  • Dual fuel and alternative fuel combustion
  • Advanced, intelligent engine modelling, design and control
  • Artificial Intelligence for low carbon transport operation
Part of the Brokerage area at the event, which was populated with R&D expertise pro-formas, and project proposals

 

This is a selection of some of the EU projects which our staff have worked on:

‘PeakFly’ Flywheel Energy Storage PL95-0904

‘FlyTech’ Flywheel Energy Storage BE-95-1616

‘FPEC’ Free Piston Energy Converter GRD2-2001-51813

‘ELVAS’ Electronic Valve Actuation Systems GRD1-2000-25251

‘MOET’ More Open Electrical Technologies AIP5-CT-2006-030861

MAAT Multi-body Advanced Airship for Transport FP7-AAT-2011-RTD-1 Project:285602 (Sept 2011 start.)

EU Framework 7 Aeronautics and Air Transport briefing Brussels 18 July 2011

Aeronautics and Air Transport plenary session at the European Commission Charlemagne Building

Profs Chris Bingham and Paul Stewart from the School of Engineering attended the Framework 7 Aeronautics and Air Transport  – 5th Call briefing in Brussels on Monday

The event provided information on the forthcoming calls, and most importantly provided a vital opportunity for networking and project brokerage with potential collaborative partners.

The EU funded project ETNA is organised a networking and brokerage event focussing on the topics covered by the next round of calls to be published in July of 2011. The networking and brokerage events followied the informational sessions carried out by the European Commission in the morning. The event on day 1 (Monday, July 18)  focused on the topics in the sub-programme Aeronautics and Air Transport (AAT). The event took place in the building Charlemagne, rue de la Loi 170 – the same location as the informational sessions in the morning.
