Power and Energy – Paul Stewart : Research

P1000783 — 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

P1000767 — 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:
