This thesis gives a contribution to the fulfilment of a numerical tool named Shared Simulation Environment (SSE) developed at the University of Pisa within the Clean Sky GRA AEA European project. This tool aims at the dynamic simulation of the electrical energy absorption of the various on-board systems during the manoeuvres of the new all-electric Green Regional Aircraft (GRA).
In the GRA an appropriate management of the electrical power available aboard is required to avoid generator overloads or temporary lack of energy for powering safety-critical systems. The SSE is developed in order to permit the design and the validation of the electrical Energy Management Logics under development within the project.
The thesis describes the methodologies used to develop a prototype of the SSE by integrating models coming from different simulation environments (Simulink, AMESim, Dymola). It also depicts the architecture of the prototype itself and describes the effects on the computation time of different integration methods, together with some preliminary simulation results.
