Larger airframes drove the development of electrical systems,
capable of quickly and reliably starting the new higher power
engines. These soon gave rise to the need for engine-mounted
electrical generators as the primary source of in-flight power for
the electrical loads and onboard recharging of the aircraft battery
system. Of all the backup power sources, batteries represent the
most common means of storing energy for auxiliary or emergency
power requirements. It is not unusual for a typical commercial
airliner, such as a B-737 or A-320, to have dozens of batteries on
board. Over time, multiple battery chemistries were put to the test
and the industry is still working on the optimal option. The
lithium-ion technology has been gaining acceptance, with some
important aspects to be considered: the application type, basic
safety requirements and the presence or absence of humans on the
vehicle. The Electrification of Civil Aircraft and the Evolution of
Energy Storage, edited by Michael Waller, presents 10 seminal SAE
technical papers which address multiple aspects of specific design,
cell configuration and mitigation strategies in the case of battery
failure. Additionally, with all the changes resulting from
monitoring, control, and performance/safety test criteria, battery
manufacturers have found themselves becoming systems integrators,
having to quickly acquire knowledge of electronics and system
modeling. As new technologies become available, industry will
attempt to take advantage of all potential benefits, in a process
that can have a profound impact on the product offerings that
emerge and in the way business is conducted. The Electrification of
Civil Aircraft and the Evolution of Energy Storage presents a solid
perspective on how civil aviation has matured in its quest to
develop lighter, more efficient and less polluting aircraft, and
also more electric.
