High Power Density and High Efficiency Wide Band-Gap Power Converters KU Leuven
In the aviation sector, fuel dependency and weight are two significant problems to be solved to reduce CO2 emission and operating cost. The reasons are bulky and inefficient power sources in aircraft such as mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic. As a solution, aircraft manufacturers have proposed a more electric aircraft (MEA) concept which uses electrical source for many subsystems in the aircraft. Due to increased electrical sources and new ...
