HL-POWERTRAIN

Integration and manufacturing of a prototype hyperloop propulsion system using a turbojet and an electric vehicle powertrain

Description

HL-POWERTRAIN is an innovative technology development project aimed at implementing a functional prototype and a digital twin of the hyperloop propulsion system using a turbojet and an electric vehicle powertrain for validation.

Objectives

Electric turbojet design.
Structural design capable of minimizing deformations at high frequencies.
Design of the electronic system hardware and software architecture of a battery management and control system to ensure the functionality and safety of the power system.
Development and implementation of prototype power and energy management system – Development and implementation of prototype grid integration system and fast recharge technology study.
Development and implementation of a prototype of a high-performance, low-weight composite structure.
Development and integration of the complete prototype for its validation in the laboratory and adaptation of the digital twin to achieve its faithful reproduction.
Theoretical and experimental modeling based on a digital twin of the system to analyse the aerodynamic, thermal, electrical and structural behaviors of the electrical turbojet, through which virtual experiments can be performed.
