3 – 5 December 2014 | Radisson BLU Hotel, Hamburg Airport, Germany

Dear colleagues,

The trend of replacing hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical systems and sub-systems with electric equivalents, coupled with a call
for high passenger comfort and in-flight entertainment systems has resulted in an ever increasing demand on an aircraft's power
­requirements.

Advances in the areas of power electronics are therefore necessary to provide the technology to improve efficiency and safety of
aircraft systems operation. At the same time, an increased use of electromechanical and electro hydrostatical actuation requires
the evolution of the electrical power distribution system.

The reliability of the electrical system is also reliant on maintenance and ground support, the correct independent part selection and
the supervised installation of each electrical component. Drivers of weight and of course cost reduction must also be taken into
consideration. All these issues and more take on an increased significance as the aircraft industry moves towards the More Electric
Aircraft with an ultimate goal of distributing only electrical power across the airframe.

At these two conference days and two specialist workshops you will have the opportunity to exchange and discuss experience on the
advanced system architectures, intelligent thermal management and optimised component technologies needed to ensure the
­success of the next generation More Electric Aircraft.

I look forward to meeting you in Hamburg!

What did past participants say about last year's conference?
Kind regards,
“Good conference and excellent networking opportunity.”
Mark Wood, Engineering Director, Safran Power

“I particularly appreciate the wide range of experts

participating in this conference.”
Guillaume Galzin, Project Manager - Air System,
Karolina Edge Liebherr-Aerospace

“Thank you - very well organised. Let’s do this again!”

A: 09:30 – 12:30

Electric power quality issues for More Electric Aircraft

Join this workshop to gain a deeper understanding of electric power quality issues for More Electric Aircraft.

Topics to be discussed during this workshop include:

• Why electric power quality requirements in future more-electric platforms should be reviewed?
• How to define “actual” electric power quality requirements in MEA?
• What is “the cost” of following legacy power quality standards?
• What should be reviewed in the existing standards?

Be prepared to discuss your own experiences with fellow technical experts.

Interactive workshop led by:

Dr. Serhiy Bozhko,

Principal Research Fellow,
Power Electronics, Machine and Control Group,
University of Nottingham, UK

11:00 Coffee break and networking opportunity

B: 13:30 – 16:30

Optimised energy and thermal management for More Electric Aircraft architecture

Following on from the introductory lecture on day two, this workshop will focus on the growing demand for efficient and
­affordable cooling methods to meet ever increasing system level performance requirements.

The workshop will draw upon extensive research performed at the Boeing company in the last several years and will provide
an overview of ongoing and future development efforts.

Be prepared to discuss your own experiences with fellow technical experts.
