Modeling and Simulation of Power Loss in Drive Unit of Electromechanical Actuator

Aircraft thermal management: Practices, technology, system architectures, future challenges, and opportunities

“…In the case of the A380, part of the wing had to be redesigned to ensure more convective air cooling [88]. Research in more electric actuator thermal behaviour have been devoted to characterising the power losses of both the actuator motors and the associated power electronics [89]- [91], which are the two biggest sources of waste heat in these actuators [89].…”
