Lecture Summary

The application of power systems represented by lithium batteries, solar cells, and hydrogen fuel cells in transportation systems such as electric aircraft is increasing day by day. Among them, hydrogen fuel cells have received more and more attention in the field of new energy transportation electrification due to their zero emissions, long lifespan, and high energy density. With technological progress and industrial upgrading, the performance requirements of electric aircraft in remote and long endurance are also increasing in the future. The report focuses on the technical research of key components of energy power systems for high-altitude and long endurance electric aricraft, mainly including power systems, onboard power transmission and distribution systems, and electric propulsion systems.
