Rolls-Royce Hybrid-Electric Propulsion System Sets Megawatt Milestone
Rolls-Royce's hybrid-electric aero power and propulsion system
has delivered more than a megawatt of power just weeks after
going on test for the first time.
Power Generation System 1 (PGS1) reached the milestone at
the newly-renovated Testbed 108 in Bristol, UK. Testing is continuing
with the aim of reaching up to 2.5 megawatts.
PGS1 is a demonstrator aimed at proving technology for future
hybrid-electric regional aircraft opportunities, and in addition the
generator could be used within a " more-electric " system for larger
aircraft or within future ground applications.
PGS1 forms an important element of our sustainability strategy,
which includes developing innovative electrical power and propulsion
systems.
Adam Newman, Chief Project Engineer, Aviation Futures,
Rolls-Royce, said: " We've made a tremendous start to testing -
reaching a megawatt is a great achievement. Now we want to go
further and see what we can ultimately achieve.
" Our generator is about the size of a beer keg, yet it has already
produced enough electricity to continuously power around 1,000
homes - that is really taking technology to new levels. When future
hybrid-electric aircraft opportunities emerge in the megawatt
and above class we want to be as prepared as we can be to offer
a ready-made solution. "
PGS1 has now delivered more than a megawatt of power
As well as the generator, the PGS1 system incorporates an

AE2100 engine, specialist controls and a thermal management
system.
Both Testbed 108 and PGS1 have been supported by the UK
Aerospace Technology Institute's MegaFlight project, while the
electrical generator, motor and power electronics design, make
and testing, which has taken place in Trondheim, Norway, has
been supported by the EU Clean Sky 2 programme.
