That\u2019s certainly the case with a 1 megawatt electric machine with an integrated power electronics system university students are now testing with NASA support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This innovative hybrid electric technology isn\u2019t fictional. It\u2019s reality, and it could someday help single-aisle commercial aircraft reduce fuel consumption and produce fewer carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine, which can operate as a motor or generator, is being tested in NASA\u2019s Electric Aircraft Testbed (NEAT) in Sandusky, Ohio. It\u2019s the capstone deliverable for a project led by The Ohio State University and its academic partners, one of five university teams that were awarded in 2017 during the very first round of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/aeroresearch\/programs\/tacp\/uli\/description\/\">NASA\u2019s University Leadership Initiative (ULI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing that a faculty and student team from these universities advanced their revolutionary ideas in five years by designing, building, and testing a 1 megawatt electric machine that is now being tested at a nationally significant NASA facility,\u201d said Koushik Datta, project manager for the ULI. \u201cIt\u2019s an excellent example of universities advancing leading-edge technologies and furthering U.S. global leadership in aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This university project is one part of NASA\u2019s strategy under ULI to tap the research power of universities, engage their students, and help research one potential approach in reducing aircraft emissions as part of the United States\u2019 and international community\u2019s goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ohio State University performed the power electronics work on the 1 megawatt electric machine, and led the team of additional universities that also made major contributions.  The University of Wisconsin was responsible for designing and building the machine. The University of Maryland and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University performed thermal designs for the machine including electronics, and The Georgia Institute of Technology led a system level study of how the technology could improve fuel economy with a hybrid electric aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?w=1365\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Large motor mounted inside a testing unit with colorful blue and yellow wires.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=683,1024 683w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=1365,2048 1365w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=600,900 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=800,1200 800w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/grc-2022-c-10271-test_article-best.jpg?resize=1333,2000 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">The University Leadership Initiative hybrid electric motor\/generator and integrated electric power system is mounted for testing inside NASA\u2019s Electric Aircraft Testbed in November 2022.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">Credits: NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe work is based on close collaborations between multiple universities and multiple teams at NASA,\u201d said Jin Wang, professor at Ohio State. \u201cA group of very talented and hardworking students have been trained through this process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although challenging in many aspects, the team integrated the electric power systems on the machine to save weight by reducing structure, and sharing systems such as thermal management to gain efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFive years ago, this university-led team set out to advance hybrid electric technologies with a very challenging set of performance targets.
