摘要:

氢能源飞机是航空业实现绿色能源转型的重要途径,全球多个国家正在积极进行氢能源商用飞机的研究与试验。氢燃料电池支线飞机是当下最热门的发展方向之一,以道尼尔228和冲8-Q300为平台的氢能改装飞机已率先完成首飞,有望在2027年前投入商用。针对支线及以上级别氢能源飞机的整体方案设计和可行性论证较少,难以有效支撑氢能航空发展的情况,提出了一种基于现有涡桨支线飞机平台的氢燃料电池动力改装设计方案,并通过仿真方法分析了改装后的飞机性能水平,估算了氢能源飞机的使用成本和碳排放强度。与传统燃油动力飞机相比,氢能源飞机的主要劣势是最大航程和舱位容积更低,氢燃料的使用成本也更高。氢能源飞机的有效载荷与燃油动力飞机基本持平,飞行效率略高于燃油动力飞机,全生命周期的碳排放极低。随着氢能技术进步,氢能源飞机的性能表现有望追上甚至超越燃油动力飞机。

Abstract:

Hydrogen aircraft is an important development direction of the aviation industry to achieve green energy transformation. Airbus, Universal Hydrogen and other institutions are conducting research on hydrogen aircraft. Hydrogen fuel cell regional aircraft is one of the hottest development directions at the moment. Hydrogen-powered DHC-8-300 and Dornier 228 have completed their first flight and are expected to be put into commercial use by 2027. But now, the research on hydrogen regional aircraft in China mostly stays in technical exploration, and there are few studies on the overall design scheme of full-size regional aircraft platform. In this paper, a retrofit design of hydrogen fuel cell power based on the turboprop regional aircraft platform is proposed, and the performance of the hydrogen fuel cell aircraft is analyzed by simulation method. The regional aircraft with modified hydrogen fuel cell uses a hybrid energy system of liquid hydrogen fuel and lithium battery, powered by electric motors. The main disadvantages of hydrogen aircraft compared to jet aircraft are lower maximum range, seating capacity and higher operating costs. The payload of the hydrogen aircraft is equal to that of the jet aircraft. The flight efficiency of hydrogen aircraft is higher, and the carbon emissions are extremely low. With technological advances, hydrogen aircraft is expected to match or even surpass the performance of jet aircraft.
