Résumé

This paper presents a method to model and optimize brushless dc motor for a solar airplane. In order to obtain the optimal solution for the given specifications, all free parameters are analyzed globally in one go. For this, the commercial optimization software Pro@Design is used. The method is fully analytical and deterministic. The actual multiphysic model comprises electromagnetic, thermal, and propeller models. Different results of the design of solar airplane motor using this method are presented.

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Avion électrique

Un avion électrique est un aéronef dont la propulsion est assurée par un ou plusieurs moteurs électriques, alimentés par des batteries, des capteurs solaires photovoltaïques ou des piles à combustible. Jusqu'à la décennie 2010, les avions alimentés par batteries sont surtout des prototypes, des drones ou des modèles réduits. Leur production en série n'est pas envisageable à cause de leurs performances modestes et de la concurrence des technologies plus anciennes non électriques plus performantes et adaptées au transport aérien, la densité d'énergie du stockage électrique restant à ce stade trop faible.

Solar vehicle

A solar vehicle or solar electric vehicle is an electric vehicle powered completely or significantly by direct solar energy. Usually, photovoltaic (PV) cells contained in solar panels convert the sun's energy directly into electric energy. The term "solar vehicle" usually implies that solar energy is used to power all or part of a vehicle's propulsion. Solar power may also be used to provide power for communications or controls or other auxiliary functions.
