Generator Controller: A Must-Have for Powertrain Systems
Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) is experiencing rapid and vigorous development. These aircraft need to achieve high power, high efficiency, and complete reliability in safety while operating under extremely strict weight and volume constraints. At the core of each high-performance eVTOL powertrain, there is no shortage of a key component: the generator control unit.
The operating conditions of eVTOL aircraft are extremely demanding - rapid power surges, extreme weight sensitivity, strict safety requirements, and dynamic flight profiles - all these factors together form a unique set of demands. Herein lies the true differentiation of the generator set controller specifically designed for eVTOL aircraft.
Lightweight Integrated Solution
In the design of eVTOL aircraft, the weight control of the generator controller is extremely strict and has the most significant impact. After all, every additional kilogram of equipment will have a certain effect on the flight range or payload capacity. Unlike ground power generators, eVTOL equipment must be able to achieve the most extreme reduction in weight without sacrificing performance.
Our combined generator and controller product adheres to this one-in-one concept. The direct connection assembly method eliminates the need for separate enclosures, wiring harnesses, and intermediate coupling components, freeing up a significant amount of cabin space and keeping the total system weight at 24kg. Within such a lightweight range, it achieves a rated power of 69kW, a peak power of 73kW, and a system efficiency of 94.5%. This integrated design is supported by the Weight Optimized Genset Controller, which intelligently balances power output and heat management, enabling the aircraft to achieve remarkable endurance performance without adding additional weight.
Silicon Carbide Redefines eVTOL Systems
The silicon carbide (SiC) controller has redefined the performance boundaries of the electric drive system for aircraft. It enables low-altitude flight equipment to achieve higher switching frequencies, lower on-state and switching losses, as well as superior thermal performance, thereby achieving a higher power density for the equipment.
Our integrated controller has a wide voltage tolerance range and a silicon carbide power stage design. When applied to low-altitude flight, it becomes a "High Power Density SiC Generator Controller". Compared with traditional flight electric drive solutions, this controller achieves a comprehensive performance upgrade.
Safety is the Foundation of Everything
The eVTOL aircraft must maintain controllable operation even in the event of a failure. This requirement fundamentally determines the architecture design of the controller.
Our platform has implemented highly secure control strategies. The controller communicates via CAN2.0 with the vehicle-level control unit for deterministic real-time data exchange; a rotary transformer is used to ensure the accuracy of rotor synchronization under all operating conditions; the IP67 protection level guarantees that the equipment can still operate reliably in various weather conditions.
These functions are precisely where the High Safety Redundancy Drone Motors come into play. By having the generator controller act as part of the integrated safety system, it coordinates the overall operation of the powertrain, ensuring that the system operates under controlled conditions for flight.
