I'm doing a university project which looks at regenerative braking in aircraft when coming down to land. Around 3MW of power is available when a large plane lands and we want to try and capture some of this by using generators on the wheels to charge supercapacitors, which will feed into batteries which will then be used to run electric motors for taxiing the plane.
It would be very interesting and helpful for inspiration if anyone could share their thoughts on this project
The landing of the plane will be simulated with a motor generator as in the picture. So I would like to simulate this by using the motor to have a high initial torque and then gradually decrease over time. Would the best way to do this be to have a variable current source going into the DC shunt motor? I also assume that the output voltage would then come from the field winding of the generator? I am a bit rusty on motor/generator concepts as I have spent more time studying electronics so please forgive me
