SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AVIATION ELECTRIC POWER PRODUCTION

摘要

An electrical power system for an aircraft including a turbine engine (101) coupled to the aircraft (5) and providing propulsive thrust and emitting heat during operation to define a high temperature source, a cryogenic fuel system (12) located within the aircraft and providing fuel for the turbine (101) and emitting heat at a lower temperature than the heat from the turbine engine to define a low temperature source and an electrical power generator located on the aircraft and having a thermodynamic generator using the temperature difference to generate electrical power and a method for producing electric power.
