Considerations on the Development of an Electric Drive for a Secondary Flight Control Electromechanical Actuator (2019)
Journal Article
Giangrande, P., Galassini, A., Papadopoulos, S., Al-Timimy, A., Lo Calzo, G., Degano, M., …Galea, M. (2019). Considerations on the Development of an Electric Drive for a Secondary Flight Control Electromechanical Actuator. IEEE Transactions on Industry

The more electric aircraft concept aims to improve the fuel consumption, the weight and both the maintenance and operating costs of the aircraft, by promoting the use of electric power in actuation systems. According to this scenario, electromechanic... Read More about Considerations on the Development of an Electric Drive for a Secondary Flight Control Electromechanical Actuator.

Optimal Advance Angle for Aided Maximum-Speed-Node Design of Switched Reluctance Machines (2019)
Journal Article
Rocca, R., Giulii Capponi, F., Papadopoulos, S., De Donato, G., Rashed, M., & Galea, M. (2020). Optimal Advance Angle for Aided Maximum-Speed-Node Design of Switched Reluctance Machines. IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 35(2), 775-785. https://doi.

In the design processes of Switched Reluctance Machines that operate in wide constant power speed ranges, the maximum power available at maximum speed must be evaluated for every machine candidate. This is critical to ensure compliance with the power... Read More about Optimal Advance Angle for Aided Maximum-Speed-Node Design of Switched Reluctance Machines.

Feasibility Study of Integrating Renewable Energy Generation System in Sark Island to Reduce Energy Generation Cost and CO2 Emissions (2019)
Journal Article
Robinson, S., Papadopoulos, S., Jadraque Gago, E., & Muneer, T. (2019). Feasibility Study of Integrating Renewable Energy Generation System in Sark Island to Reduce Energy Generation Cost and CO2 Emissions. Energies, 12(24), 4722. https://doi.org/10.3390/

The island of Sark, located in the English Channel, has endured an electricity distribution crisis for the past few years, resulting in high electricity costs almost six times higher than UK mainland energy prices. This article is focused on a method... Read More about Feasibility Study of Integrating Renewable Energy Generation System in Sark Island to Reduce Energy Generation Cost and CO2 Emissions.

SMART: Modular Architecture for Reliable Transportation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papadopoulos, S., Galassini, A., Ruksnaitis, L., Farhat, N., Kiselychnyk, O., Midgley, W., & Degano, M. (2019). SMART: Modular Architecture for Reliable Transportation. . https://doi.org/10.1109/IECON.2019.8926931

This paper proposes a new ultra-reliable architecture for fully electric propulsion primarily aimed at the automotive sector. The system considers a direct drive arrangement, minimizing the number of moving components and is based on a network of mul...
