Using simulation to develop a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system
Exploring the use of simulation to develop a commercially viable hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system for aircraft
The aviation industry is currently responsible for three percent of global CO2 emissions. To achieve the goal of climate-neutral aviation, it is essential to develop and implement new technologies that can reduce the carbon footprint of air travel. One promising solution is the use of hydrogen fuel cells as a propulsion system for aircraft. Simulation allows us to test and optimize the design of the propulsion system in a virtual environment, reducing the time and cost required to bring the technology to market. In this webinar, we will explore the use of simulation to develop a commercially viable hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system for aircraft.
Topics covered will include:
- The main advantages of hydrogen fuel cell compared to other approaches toward climate-neutral aviation
- The main challenges when it comes to the propulsion system
- Fuel cell system development – the multiple stacks balance of plant (BOP) which makes the fuel cell perform
- The use of Simcenter simulation technology to develop and optimize the design of the propulsion system in a virtual environment, reducing the time and cost required to bring the technology to market.
