REACTION PROCESSING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ALUMINUM OXIDE/CHROMIUM CERAMIC/METAL COMPOSITESCamilla K McCormack (17538078) 03 December 2023 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">To decrease the use of fossil fuels that generate greenhouse gases, there has been a push to find alternative processes for electricity generation. An attractive renewable alternative is to use solar-thermal energy for grid level electricity production. One method used to generate electricity from the conversion of solar-thermal energy is concentrated solar power (CSP) via the power tower paradigm, which involves an array of mirrors that concentrate sunlight to a spot on a tower. The light heats up a heat transfer fluid which later transfers the thermal energy to a working fluid that expands so as to spin a turbine to generate electricity. Current CSP plants have a peak operation temperature of 550℃, but improvements to the heat exchanger are integral to increasing the peak operation temperature of such plants to a 750℃ target. Ceramic/metal composites (cermets) have been proposed for use as heat exchangers in these CSP plants due to the creep resistance of the ceramic component and toughness of the metal component. One potential material that has an attractive combination of properties for this application is the alumina/chromium (Al2O3/Cr) cermet, given the rigidity and creep resistance of the Al2O3 component and the high-temperature toughness of the Cr phase. Compared to other oxidation-resistant oxide/metal cermets, the Al2O3 and Cr components of this cermet have a relatively close average linear thermal expansion match from 25℃ to 750℃, which is advantageous due to the thermal gradients and thermal cycling of the heat exchanger during operation.</p><p dir="ltr">In this dissertation, the Al2O3/Cr cermet was produced via reaction forming (RF) or reactive melt infiltration (RMI). The RF method involves the reaction of Cr2O3 and Al constituent powder mixtures at high temperature and modest pressures to obtain dense Al2O3/Cr plates. The RMI method involves immersing a shaped porous Cr2O3 preform into an Al or Al-Cr alloy bath to infiltrate and react to form Al2O3/Al-Cr plates. For both methods, the plate microstructure was analyzed for the various reaction conditions. The adiabatic temperature increase for the reaction between Cr2O3 and Al liquid or Al-Cr liquid alloys was calculated. Thermal properties (linear coefficient of thermal expansion, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity) and mechanical properties for the RF Al2O3/Cr plates were also measured. Lastly, the reaction kinetics between dense, polycrystalline Cr2O3 and a liquid Al-35at% Cr alloy were experimentally determined at various temperatures and compared to models based on different rate-limiting steps.</p>

[en] NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF A HYBRID CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER PLANT / [pt] SIMULAÇÃO DE UMA USINA HÍBRIDA TERMOSSOLARBERNARDO WEBER LANDIM MARQUES 11 May 2020 (has links)
[pt] O presente trabalho consiste na integração de um campo solar em uma usina
de gaseificação de resíduos sólidos urbanos no município de Boa Esperança em
Minas Gerais. Os resíduos sólidos acumulados no lixão da cidade são utilizados
como insumos para a geração de gás de síntese no reator químico da unidade. Esta
operação recupera a extensa área degradada deste vertedouro permitindo a
instalação do campo solar com coletores de calhas parabólicas. O intuito do projeto
é o fornecimento contínuo de calor pelo campo solar através da instalação de
tanques de armazenamento direto de calor. A operação do campo solar é simulada
pela elaboração de uma rotina computacional no software Matlab através do método
das diferenças finitas unidimensional. A solução numérica do sistema de equações
diferenciais que compõe o balanço de energia do receptor solar é validada pela
comparação com o teste experimental do Laboratório Nacional de Sandia do
concentrador solar SEGS LS-2 com tubo absorvedor evacuado. Além disso, o
controle da vazão mássica circulante pelo campo solar é incorporado na lógica
computacional de modo que a temperatura na saída do campo solar seja mantida
com valores próximo ao set-point de 390 graus Celsius. Portanto, as simulações
computacionais com proposições sobre a partida e operação do campo solar são
testadas para dias ensolarados do ano meteorológico típico de Boa Esperança.
Finalmente, um dia real com nebulosidade é simulado para a análise do
funcionamento do campo solar de acordo com a variação intermitente da irradiância
direta normal. Os resultados da operação do dia real são utilizados como base para
a aplicação da presente rotina computacional em futuros projetos do campo solar. / [en] This work intends to hybridize a solar field into the current waste to energy
gasification power plant in Boa Esperança in Minas Gerais. The gasification
process converts municipal solid waste to usable synthesis gas for electrical
production. This current operation of waste to energy power plant removes waste
accumulated from the landfill site. It recovers an extensive area for future solar field
installation due to this available space without any waste in the future. The design
of the planned solar field comprises the parabolic trough concentrating systems.
The aim of the solar design is to provide ongoing heat to the power block with direct
storage tanks. The solar field operation is simulated by the development of a Matlab
computer program based one dimensional implicit difference method with energy
balance approach of an evacuated receiver. The validation of present model was
done by comparing the outlet temperatures of simulation results and the
experimental data obtained by Sandia National Laboratories. Moreover, the mass
flow rate is regulated through the field to make sure that the outlet temperature from
the solar collector is kept as close to the desired 390 Celsius Degree as possible. To accomplish
the main purpose of the work, many different computational models with start-up
and full operation stages are suggested for different clear days along the typical
meteorological year of the city Boa Esperança. Eventually, a cloud day with a real
meteorological data was chosen for a computational model of the solar field
performance. All results of the real day operation are used to improve the computer
program of the present work. These results are useful for future solar field design.

Utility-Scale Solar Power Plants with Storage : Cost Comparison and Growth Forecast AnalysisPragada, Gandhi, Perisetla, Nitish January 2021 (has links)
Renewable energy for energy production, like Solar, is turning out to be very pertinent in today's world [1]. It is very clear that Solar Energy is going to emerge as one of the key sources of energy in future. Moreover, the storage option is going to play an essential role to the future deployment of solar power plants. Concentrated solar power plants with thermal storage, photovoltaic plants integrated with battery energy storage, and hybrid plants are attractive solutions to obtain a stable and dispatchable energy production. Investors or policymakers usually find it challenging to come up with the most feasible solar storage technology because they need to consider techno-economic feasibility, and at the same time, from a market or administrative perspective as well. So, this thesis study will address the key problem which is aimed at investors or policymakers since there is a need to choose the best solar storage technology at a utility level in future based on so many attributes. The thesis project was carried out in two phases which includes forecast modelling & estimations and techno-economic assessment of virtual plants. These two phases helped to address various questions in relation to the problem statement of this study. The entire thesis study broadly covered seven countries spanning across four major regions around the world. The first phase of the thesis, forecast modelling estimations shows how the seven countries will look in future (2020 – 2050) with respect to installed capacity and costs for PV, CSP, and BESS technologies. Some major results from phase 1 include, in low-cost estimates, China will remain to be the market leader in PV & CSP by 2050. In U.S.A and India, the installed costs of PV are projected to decline by 70% by 2050. By 2050, the installed costs of Solar Tower technology are estimated to drop by about 65% in China and Spain. In U.S.A, the prices of BESS technology are likely to fall by around 58 – 60 % by 2050. In the second phase of thesis study, a techno-economic evaluation of virtual plants addressed the aspects which are to be considered for a solar project if it is deployed in future across seven specific countries. Results from this analysis helps investors or policymakers to choose the cheapest solar storage technology at a utility level across seven specific countries in future (2020 – 2050). Key results from this analysis show that, in the U.S.A, by 2050, PV+BESS will be the cheapest storage technology for 4 – 10 storage hours. Addition of another renewable technology will add up more viability to the comparison. In China, Hybrid will be the cheapest storage technology for 4 – 8 hrs by 2050. There is huge potential for deployment of CSP & hybrid plants in future than PV. In South Africa, CSP will be the cheapest storage technology by 2050 for 4 – 10 hours of storage. It is assumed that deployment of BESS projects at utility level starts from 2025 in South Africa. Beyond this, market forces analysis was carried out which offers insights especially for the policymakers of how various drivers and constraints are influencing each solar technology across the specific countries in future. Overall, the entire thesis study provides guidelines/insights to investors or policy makers for choosing the best solar storage technology in future at a utility scale for a particular country. / Förnybar energi för energiproduktion, liksom Solar, visar sig vara mycket relevant i dagens värld [1]. Det är mycket tydligt att solenergi kommer att framstå som en av de viktigaste energikällorna i framtiden. Dessutom kommer lagringsalternativet att spela en väsentlig roll för den framtida distributionen av solkraftverk. Koncentrerade solkraftverk med värmelagring, solcellsanläggningar integrerade med batterilagring och hybridanläggningar är attraktiva lösningar för att få en stabil och skickbar energiproduktion. Investerare eller beslutsfattare brukar tycka att det är utmanande att komma på den mest genomförbara solcellstekniken eftersom de måste överväga teknikekonomisk genomförbarhet, och samtidigt, ur ett marknads- eller administrativt perspektiv också. Så denna avhandlingsstudie kommer att ta itu med nyckelproblemet som riktar sig till investerare eller beslutsfattare eftersom det finns ett behov av att välja den bästa solenergilagringstekniken på en användningsnivå i framtiden baserat på så många attribut. Avhandlingsprojektet genomfördes i två faser som inkluderar prognosmodellering och uppskattningar och teknikekonomisk bedömning av virtuella anläggningar. Dessa två faser hjälpte till att ta itu med olika frågor i samband med problemstudien i denna studie. Hela avhandlingsstudien omfattade i stort sju länder som sträcker sig över fyra stora regioner runt om i världen. Den första fasen i avhandlingen, prognosmodelleringsuppskattningar visar hur de sju länderna kommer att se ut i framtiden (2020 - 2050) med avseende på installerad kapacitet och kostnader för PV-, CSP- och BESS -teknik. Några viktiga resultat från fas 1 inkluderar, i lågkostnadsuppskattningar, att Kina kommer att vara marknadsledande inom PV och CSP år 2050. I USA och Indien beräknas de installerade kostnaderna för PV minska med 70% år 2050. Av 2050 beräknas de installerade kostnaderna för Solar Tower -teknik sjunka med cirka 65% i Kina och Spanien. I USA kommer priserna på BESS -teknik sannolikt att sjunka med cirka 58 - 60 % år 2050. I den andra fasen av avhandlingsstudien behandlade en teknikekonomisk utvärdering av virtuella anläggningar de aspekter som ska övervägas för ett solprojekt om det används i framtiden i sju specifika länder. Resultaten från denna analys hjälper investerare eller beslutsfattare att välja den billigaste solenergilagringstekniken på en användningsnivå i sju specifika länder i framtiden (2020 - 2050). Viktiga resultat från denna analys visar att i USA, år 2050, kommer PV+BESS att vara den billigaste lagringstekniken på 4 - 10 lagringstimmar. Tillägg av en annan förnybar teknik kommer att öka jämförbarheten. I Kina kommer Hybrid att vara den billigaste lagringstekniken i 4-8 timmar fram till 2050. Det finns en enorm potential för distribution av CSP & hybridanläggningar i framtiden än PV. I Sydafrika kommer CSP att vara den billigaste lagringstekniken år 2050 för 4 - 10 timmars lagring. Det antas att distributionen av BESS -projekt på verktygsnivå börjar från 2025 i Sydafrika. Utöver detta genomfördes marknadskravsanalys som ger insikter speciellt för beslutsfattarna om hur olika drivkrafter och begränsningar påverkar varje solteknik i de specifika länderna i framtiden. Sammantaget ger hela avhandlingsstudien riktlinjer/insikter till investerare eller beslutsfattare för att välja den bästa solenergitekniken i framtiden i en nyttoskala för ett visst land.

Optimization of energy dispatch in concentrated solar power systems : Design of dispatch algorithm in concentrated solar power tower system with thermal energy storage for maximized operational revenueStrand, Anna January 2019 (has links)
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a fast-growing technology for electricity production. With mirrors (heliostats) irradiation of the sun is concentrated onto a receiver run through by a heat transfer fluid (HTF). The fluid by that reaches high temperatures and is used to drive a steam turbine for electricity production. A CSP power plant is most often coupled with an energy storage unit, where the HTF is stored before it is dispatched and used to generate electricity. Electricity is most often sold at an open market with a fluctuating spot-prices. It is therefore of high importance to generate and sell the electricity at the highest paid hours, increasingly important also since the governmental support mechanisms aimed to support renewable energy production is faded out since the technology is starting to be seen as mature enough to compete by itself on the market. A solar power plant thus has an operational protocol determining when energy is dispatched, and electricity is sold. These protocols are often pre-defined which means an optimal production is not achieved since irradiation and electricity selling price vary. In this master thesis, an optimization algorithm for electricity sales is designed (in MATLAB). The optimization algorithm is designed by for a given timeframe solve an optimization problem where the objective is maximized revenue from electricity sales from the solar power plant. The function takes into consideration hourly varying electricity spot price, hourly varying solar field efficiency, energy flows in the solar power plant, start-up costs (from on to off) plus conditions for the logic governing the operational modes. Two regular pre-defined protocols were designed to be able to compare performance in a solar power plant with the optimized dispatch protocol. These three operational protocols were evaluated in three different markets; one with fluctuating spot price, one regulated market of three fixed price levels and one in spot market but with zero-prices during sunny hours. It was found that the optimized dispatch protocol gave both bigger electricity production and revenue in all markets, but with biggest differences in the spot markets. To evaluate in what type of powerplant the optimizer performs best, a parametric analysis was made where size of storage and power block, the time-horizon of optimizer and the cost of start-up were varied. For size of storage and power block it was found that revenue increased with increased size, but only up to the level where the optimizer can dispatch at optimal hours. After that there is no increase in revenue. Increased time horizon gives increased revenue since it then has more information. With a 24-hour time horizon, morning price-peaks will be missed for example. To change start-up costs makes the power plant less flexible and with fewer cycles, without affect income much. / Koncentrerad solkraft (CSP) är en snabbt växande teknologi för elektricitets-produktion. Med speglar (heliostater) koncentreras solstrålar på en mottagare som genomflödas av en värmetransporteringsvätska. Denna uppnår därmed höga temperaturer vilket används för att driva en ångturbin för att generera el. Ett CSP kraftverk är oftast kopplat till en energilagringstank, där värmelagringsvätskan lagras innan den används för att generera el. El säljs i de flesta fall på en öppen elmarknad, där spotpriset fluktuerar. Det är därför av stor vikt att generera elen och sälja den vid de timmar med högst elpris, vilket också är av ökande betydelse då supportmekanismerna för att finansiellt stödja förnybar energiproduktion används i allt mindre grad för denna teknologi då den börjar anses mogen att konkurrera utan. Ett solkraftverk har således ett driftsprotokoll som bestämmer när el ska genereras. Dessa protokoll är oftast förutbestämda, vilket innebär att en optimal produktion inte fås då exempelvis elspotpriset och solinstrålningen varierar. I detta examensarbete har en optimeringsalgoritm för elförsäljning designats (i MATLAB). Optimeringsscriptet är designat genom att för en given tidsperiod lösa ett optimeringsproblem där objektivet är maximerad vinst från såld elektricitet från solkraftverket. Funktionen tar hänsyn till timvist varierande elpris, timvist varierande solfältseffektivitet, energiflöden i solkraftverket, kostnader för uppstart (on till off) samt villkor för att logiskt styra de olika driftlägena. För att jämföra prestanda hos ett solkraftverk med det optimerade driftsprotokollet skapades även två traditionella förutbestämda driftprotokoll. Dessa tre driftsstrategier utvärderades i tre olika marknader, en med ett varierande el-spotpris, en i en reglerad elmarknad med tre prisnivåer och en i en marknad med spotpris men noll-pris under de soliga timmarna. Det fanns att det optimerade driftsprotokollet gav både större elproduktion och högre vinst i alla marknader, men störst skillnad fanns i de öppna spotprismarknaderna. För att undersöka i vilket slags kraftverk som protokollet levererar mest förbättring i gjordes en parametrisk analys där storlek på lagringstank och generator varierades, samt optimerarens tidshorisont och kostnad för uppstart. För lagringstank och generator fanns att vinst ökar med ökande storlek upp tills den storlek optimeraren har möjlighet att fördela produktion på dyrast timmar. Ökande storlek efter det ger inte ökad vinst. Ökande tidshorisont ger ökande vinst eftersom optimeraren då har mer information. Att ändra uppstartkostnaden gör att solkraftverket uppträder mindre flexibelt och har färre cykler, dock utan så stor påverkan på inkomst.

Development of Tantalum-Doped Tin Oxide as New Solar Selective Material for Solar Thermal Power PlantsLungwitz, Frank 15 April 2024 (has links)
Solar absorber coatings are one of the key components in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. Currently operating at temperatures up to 565°C and suffering from emissive losses, their energy conversion efficiency could be improved by applying high-temperature stable materials with solar selective properties, i.e. high absorptivity and low emissivity. In this work, the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) SnO2:Ta is developed as a solar selective coating (SSC) for CSP absorbers. Starting with simulations covering basic requirements for SSCs, the deposition process of SnO2:Ta is optimized and extensive optical characterization and modelling are performed. It is shown that upon covering with a SiO2 antireflective layer, a calculated absorptivity of 95% and an emissivity of 30% are achieved for the model configuration of SnO2:Ta on top of a perfect black body (BB). High-temperature stability of the developed TCO up to 800 °C is shown in situ by spectroscopic ellipsometry and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The universality of the concept is then demonstrated by transforming silicon and glassy carbon from non-selective into solar selective absorbers by depositing the TCO on top of them. Finally, the energy conversion efficiencies ηCSP of SnO2:Ta on top of a BB and an ideal non-selective BB absorber are compared as a function of solar concentration factor C and absorber temperature TH.

Accelerated Discovery of Multi-Principal Element Alloys and Wide Bandgap Semiconductors under Extreme ConditionsSaswat Mishra (19185079) 22 July 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Advancements in material science are accelerating technological evolution, driven by initiatives like the Materials Genome Project, which integrates computational and experi- mental strategies to expedite material discovery.

Développement de nouveaux milieux et catalyseurs acides pour la transformation de biomasse lignocellulosique en molécules plateformes / New catalytic systems for the production of platform chemicals from lignocellulosic biomassChappaz, Alban 08 October 2014 (has links)
L'objectif de la thèse est d'étudier la transformation de la fraction cellulosique de la biomasse en acide lévulinique. Cet acide est une molécule plateforme permettant un accès à de multiples produits, tels que des solvants, des monomères ou encore des molécules à plus forte valeur ajoutée.Nous proposons d'étudier la transformation de la cellulose en acide lévulinique catalysée par des solutions aqueuses concentrées en acides de Brønsted. La forte acidité de ces milieux et leur capacité à rompre les liaisons hydrogène de la cellulose rendent possible des réactions à température modérée (80°C), ce qui laisse espérer la production sélective d'acide lévulinique.L'état de l'art concernant la production d'acide lévulinique à partir de glucose ou de cellulose est d’abord présenté, ainsi qu’une étude bibliographique sur les techniques permettant la mesure d’acidité de milieux concentrés.La caractérisation de l’acidité des milieux semblant être un point clé pour contrôler la réaction, la seconde partie concernera les mesures d’acidité des milieux concentrés utilisés. La méthodologie expérimentale pour identifier et quantifier les produits de réaction de la cellulose ainsi que les paramètres critiques qui la régissent sont ensuite détaillés.Enfin l’étude s’achèvera par deux chapitres traitant de la transformation du glucose ou la cellulose en acide lévulinique dans des milieux comportant une forte acidité de Brønsted combinée, ou non, avec des sels métalliques. La transformation du glucose conduit à des sélectivités en acide lévulinique de 50 mol% dans l’acide sulfurique 65 % et supérieures à 70 mol% dans l'acide sulfurique 48 % en présence de chlorure d'aluminium hydraté. La transformation de la cellulose conduit à des sélectivités en acide lévulinique d'environ 43 mol% dans les milieux acides de Brønsted concentrés et 60 mol% lorsque des sels métalliques sont ajoutés. De telles sélectivités en acide lévulinique n'ont jamais été décrites dans les milieux concentrés. / The thesis presented in this document aims at converting lignocellulosic biomass into levulinic acid. This target is a valuable building block which can lead to various products.This platform intermediate can be obtained by acid-catalyzed conversion of cellulose contained in raw biomass. However, the state of the art concerning this acid-catalyzed reaction revealed that the current conditions (diluted acids in harsh temperature conditions) result in numerous by-products formation. The selectivity issue often deals with process control, in particular with reaction time optimization.Our approach lies in using concentrated Brønsted acids as alternative media to catalyze cellulose conversion. Indeed, the high acidity level allow the interaction with hydrogen bonds in cellulose fibrils and favor cellulose decristallization. This property should promote the transformation of cellulose into levulinic acid at lower temperature thus limiting the formation of by-products. Therefore, acidity measurements in such media have been developed and performed. An extensive study on glucose and Avicel cellulose conversion in concentrated aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid was performed at 80°C. Levulinic acid yields, up to 50 mol%, were determined by HPLC analysis and a special attention was dedicated to the identification and quantification of soluble or insoluble by-products, allowing the characterization of new species never described in aqueous solutions. Referring to the acidity levels previously determined, a comparison between acidity and catalytic results will be setted.Finally, the effect of metallic chloride addition on the transformation of glucose and cellulose in sulphuric acid solutions has been investigated, revealing improvements yielding up to 70 mol% levulinic acid. This range of selectivity is unprecedented at such a low temperature.

Contribution à la conception silencieuse par démarches directe et inverse de machines synchrones à aimants permanents et bobinage dentaire / Contribution to permanent magnet synchronous machines quiet design with concentrated winding using inverses approachesLa Delfa, Patricio 15 December 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur la conception silencieuse par démarches inverses de machines synchrones à aimants permanents dotées de bobinages dentaires. Notre travail se focalise sur l’analyse des raies de forces radiales à l’origine du bruit magnétique. En premier lieu, un modèle direct électromagnétique, nous a permis de déterminer le spectre spatio-temporel de la force radiale dans l’entrefer. Ce dernier nous offre la possibilité d’obtenir pas à pas et de manière analytique l’induction radiale dans l’entrefer, résultat du produit de la force magnétomotrice totale et de la perméance d’entrefer globale. Plusieurs machines dotées d’un bobinage dentaire et distribué ont été évaluées, comparées à des simulations par éléments finis et corroborés par une analyse modale opérationnelle sur un prototype existant au laboratoire. Puis la démarche inverse de conception est abordée par le biais de deux outils « analytiques prédictifs » donnant les origines des ordres faibles spatio-temporels de la force radiale dans l’entrefer. Enfin, la résolution du problème inverse est conduite au moyen d’une boucle itérative d’optimisation donnant parmi un échantillon de solutions, une fonction de bobinage, visant à atténuer ou supprimer une raie potentiellement risquée en termes de nuisances acoustiques / This thesis deals the quiet design by inverses approaches of synchronous machines with permanent magnets concentrated windings. Our work focuses on the analysis of magnetic noise origin of air gap radial force orders. Firstly a direct electromagnetic model allowed us to determine the spatio-temporal spectrum of air gap radial pressure. The latter offers us the possibility of obtaining step by step and in an analytical way the radial induction in the gap, result of the product of the total magnetomotive force and global air gap permeance. Several machines equipped with a concentrated winding and distributed were evaluated, compared to simulations by finite elements and corroborated by an operational deflection shape on an existing prototype in the laboratory. In the second time two inverse approaches named predictive methodology identified the radial pressure low order origin. Finally, the resolution of the inverse problem is carried out by means of an iterative optimization loop giving among a sample of solutions, a winding function, aimed at attenuating or eliminating a potential risky line in terms of acoustic nuisances.

Contributions à l’étude de machines multi-enroulements pour l’aéronautique : machine synchrone à aimants permanents pour la tolérance aux défauts : machine asynchrone pour la traction / Contributions to the study of multi-winding machines for aeronautic : Permanent Magnet synchronous Motor for fault tolerant applications : Asynchronous motor for TaxiingVelly, Nicolas 06 April 2011 (has links)
Le projet d'avion électrique vise à remplacer les vecteurs énergétiques que sont les fluides hydrauliques et l'air comprimé par le courant électrique et d'obtenir en conséquence une diminution significative de la consommation en carburant Dans cette thèse, nous proposons deux solutions : la première dans un souci d'accroitre la disponibilités des actionneurs électriques et la seconde pour la traction au sol (taxiage d'avion). Dans la première étude, nous nous plaçons dans le cadre d'un actionneur pour lequel il est demandé une redondance électrique. Ceci peut être le cas d'un actionneur de mode « normal », redondé par un actionneur de type secours, mais où les fiabilités cumulées ne sont pas suffisantes, et où la partie électrique et la commande du système dit normal est redondé. Nous proposons une topologie de moteur synchrone à aimants permanents à bobinage à plots à deux étoiles découplées magnétiquement et à courant de court-circuit limité. Pour les machines à plots, nous avons établi un modèle semi analytique dans le but de prédire l'amplitude de la résultante des forces radiales agissant sur le rotor de cette machine en cas de fonctionnement en modes sain et dégradé. Nous avons établi le modèle de cette machine en vue de la commande et nous avons validé expérimentalement ce principe de conception sur un prototype dimensionné au laboratoire et réalisé par une société du groupe SAFRAN. Dans la seconde étude, nous avons investigué sur l'utilisation de moteurs multi-enroulements permettant de répondre au mieux à un cahier des charges exigeant pour une application de traction d'aéronefs: le « green taxiing ». Le principe est de permettre de faire varier le coefficient de couple d'un moteur de manière à optimiser la masse du moteur mais aussi les contraintes sur le convertisseur qui l'alimente permettant d'atteindre de larges plages de vitesse. Le modèle en vue de l'alimentation a été développé et validé par une comparaison à une résolution par éléments finis en magnétodynamique / The more electrical aircraft project aims at replacing most of current power generation sources by electrical ones. Consequently this replacement might generate a significant decrease of the fuel consumption. Through this thesis we determine two electrical solutions allowing on the one hand the increase of disponibility level of the actuators and on the other handthe aircraft taxiing by electrical means. We firstly focused on electrical actuators that require electrical redundancy. A first mean to achieve this redundancy is to use two actuators. Nevertheless this solution is not relevant under the reliability constraint because the global failure rate is increased. A double star permanent magnet synchronous motor with concentrated winding is proposed in which a special care was taken to the short circuit current limitation and the magnetic decoupling between the two star winding. We established a semi-analytic model for this kind of motors to predict the amplitude of the resultant of the radial forces acting on the rotor of the machine when operating under normal and faulty operation. We established the model of the machine in order to determine the command strategy. We experimentally validated all of the design principles mentioned above through a prototype designed in the laboratory and built by one of the SAFRAN group company. We secondly investigated on the way to apply the multi winding principles to a brand new project linked to the aircraft taxiing called “green taxiing”. The goal is to obtain a motor topology that allows operating on a wide speed range thanks to the command strategy and the change of its torque coefficient. We established the model of the machine and we compared the results given by this ingenious model to the results given by a finite element resolution using a transient magnetic application
