This paper deals with electrical propulsion system for light aviation. Parameters and construction of the specially designed permanent magnet synchronous motor, is presented. In the article, influence of 3 aspects on the efficiency of the particular components, i.e on efficiency of the motor and frequency converter separately, as well as on efficiency of the whole drive (motor + converter) were investigated. In first phase manufacturing technology of the electric motor were examined - investigation of annealing (a heat treatment that alters the microstructure of a material causing changes in permeability and losses of an iron core of the motor). In second phase, switching frequency of the converter were tested adjusting of the switching frequency changes switching losses in the converter and the additional losses in the motor. Third phase of the research was an investigation of influence 3 different propellers (I fixed, 2 adjustable) on the efficiency of the entire system.

Development of an autopilot for automatic landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle
Arıbal, Seçkin; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
This thesis presents the design of an autopilot and guidance system for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Classical (PID) and modern control (LQT, Sliding Mode) methods for autonomous navigation and landing in adverse weather conditions are implemented. Two different guidance systems are designed in order to navigate through waypoints during normal and/or emergency flight. The nonlinear Pioneer UAV model is used in controller development and simulations. Aircraft is linearized at different trim points and total a...
Investigation of rotor rotor interactions for two helicopters in forward flight using free vortex wake methodology
Tonkal, Ozan Çağrı; Pehlivan, Sercan; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; İşler, Veysi (null; 2010-07-01)
This paper presents an investigation of the aerodynamic interactions between two UH-1H helicopter rotors in forward flight. The wake flow structure and performance characteristics of the rotors are investigated when the rear rotor is operating within the wake of the front rotor. A 3-D unsteady vortex-panel method potential flow solver based on a free-vortex-wake methodology is used for this purpose. The solver is validated using the experimental data from the Caradonna-Tung experiments. The interactional an...
Investigation of inertial support limits in wind turbines and the effects on the power system stability
Duymaz, Erencan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
In this study, the inertial support implementation is studied for variable speed wind turbines with a full-scale power electronics. To increase the active power as desired, Machine Side Converter is modified with an additional control loop. In the first part of the thesis, active power of the wind turbine is increased to the limits and the maximum achievable active power is found out to be restricted by the wind speed. It is found that the wind turbine can increase its output power by 40% of rated power in ...
Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamics of Flapping-Wing Micro-Air-Vehicle by Force and Flow-Field Measurements
Deng, Shuanghou; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas (2016-02-01)
This study explores the aerodynamic characteristics of a flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) in hovering configuration by means of force and flowfield measurements. The effects of flapping frequency and wing geometry on force generation were examined using a miniature six-component force sensor. Additional high-speed imaging allowed identification of the notable different deformation characteristics of the flexible wings under vacuum condition in comparison to their behavior in air, illustrating the re...
Aerodynamic design and control of tandem wing unmanned aerial vehicle
Kaya, Taşkın; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
This thesis presents an approach towards the design methodology of electrical propulsion, tandem wing unmanned aerial vehicle. Due to its possible rewarding features, tandem wing design is investigated as the main subject of this study. The stability and control characteristics of tandem wing aircraft are critical since the interference between the two wings may result in nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics for varying angles of attack. Thus, the design of the controller system requires careful handling, ...
