8月15日上午，中共寧波市委辦公廳、寧波市人民政府辦公廳召開新時代高水平創(chuàng)新型城市建設推進大會，寧波諾丁漢大學作為第一完成單位申報的“高可靠、輕量化航空電驅系統(tǒng)關鍵設計技術研發(fā)及其產(chǎn)業(yè)化應用”項目獲2022年度寧波市科學技術進步獎一等獎，獲一等獎這項殊榮的，寧波全市僅九席。

從科學技術進步獎的評定條件上看，只有在關鍵技術或者系統(tǒng)集成上有重大創(chuàng)新，技術難度大，總體技術水平和主要技術經(jīng)濟指標達到國際先進水平，市場競爭力強，經(jīng)濟效益、社會效益或生態(tài)環(huán)境效益顯著，對行業(yè)的技術進步和產(chǎn)業(yè)結構優(yōu)化升級作用顯著的項目才能獲評一等獎。

學?？蒲信c知識交流副校長周蔭強教授向項目團隊表達了由衷的祝賀，感謝他們?yōu)橹袊窈绞聵I(yè)所做的努力。寧波諾丁漢大學一直致力于推動全球領先的研究和創(chuàng)新，把優(yōu)質(zhì)的科研資源與中國經(jīng)濟社會發(fā)展需要相結合，引進了業(yè)界領先的研究平臺，產(chǎn)出了高質(zhì)量的科技成果。此次獲評寧波市科學技術進步獎一等獎正是對寧諾在航空技術產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展領域所作貢獻的認可。

產(chǎn)學研通力合作

打造最強戰(zhàn)隊

“高可靠、輕量化航空電驅系統(tǒng)關鍵設計技術研發(fā)及其產(chǎn)業(yè)化應用”項目由寧波諾丁漢大學領銜，聯(lián)合寧波永久磁業(yè)有限公司、浙江華擎航空發(fā)動機科技有限公司、寧波卡倫特電器有限公司進行產(chǎn)業(yè)化攻關。

據(jù)了解，項目由張何教授、張曉晨博士等帶領的電力電子電機驅動控制研究組負責完成。這支隊伍已先后獲批浙江省首批高校高水平創(chuàng)新團隊、浙江省多電飛機技術重點實驗室、浙江省航空電氣化技術工程研究中心。

團隊負責人張何教授驕傲地說：“這是一支不折不扣的‘夢之隊’。2014年開始組建團隊時，既沒有學生，也沒有設備，一切從零開始。近十年來，我一直堅信要賦能團隊每個人，讓他們發(fā)揮自身的價值，并最大化支持原創(chuàng)科學研究。現(xiàn)在，我們的團隊既有全球前2%頂尖科學家，也有業(yè)界寧諾校友、寧波協(xié)誠集團執(zhí)行董事，還有多位浙江省高層次拔尖人才。大家攜手做出了比肩一流水平的科研成果，同時也與產(chǎn)業(yè)界和工業(yè)界密切合作。”

對于這一觀點，團隊核心成員、副研究員趙偉鐸博士感觸頗深。他說，“我2015年加入團隊，一直從事高性能電機相關研究工作。最大的感受有兩方面：一是在國際化團隊的影響和支持下，想問題、解決問題的出發(fā)點更高。每次開組會，都有來自英國、德國、意大利、馬耳他等國際高水平院校的專家學者，建言獻策。二是充分發(fā)揮諾丁漢智能電氣化研究院中試基地的作用，團隊解決實際工程問題能力強。專業(yè)的工程師團隊能夠將理論研究提出的創(chuàng)新結構、新材料、新工藝得到很好的實現(xiàn)，使科研人員的工程能力顯著提升，從而反哺理論創(chuàng)新?！?br/>

團隊核心成員、英國皇家航空學會會士、英國工程技術學會會士Giampaolo Buticchi教授表示，選擇加入是因為團隊所開展的研究世界領先并具有極高的國際聲譽?！按舜卧u審對團隊進行了多維度的評估，能夠獲獎證明了我們出眾的科研實力。我在團隊中負責電力電子方面的研究。獲此殊榮讓我更有動力開展前沿科學研究。”

上下游打通

實現(xiàn)顯著社會經(jīng)濟效益

據(jù)介紹，本次獲評一等獎的“高可靠、輕量化航空電驅系統(tǒng)關鍵設計技術研發(fā)及其產(chǎn)業(yè)化應用”項目屬于工業(yè)技術領域。圍繞航空電氣化核心部件電驅系統(tǒng)的關鍵技術，項目攻克了航空電驅系統(tǒng)兼顧輕量化、高效率和高可靠的關鍵設計技術瓶頸，在熱管理、輕量化設計和可靠性提升方面取得創(chuàng)新性成果，系統(tǒng)化地解決了航空電驅領域的世界公認難題。項目理論研究成果在領域內(nèi)國際頂級期刊發(fā)表學術論文100余篇，獲得國家發(fā)明專利授權5件，申請國際發(fā)明專利3件。

項目成果包括為中國商飛研發(fā)的“大功率直流起發(fā)系統(tǒng)”。它創(chuàng)造性地采用了高速、高功率密度永磁電機和多電平控制器方案，電機的鐵芯材料和冷卻結構等也有針對性創(chuàng)新，使得功率密度較目前波音787三級式起發(fā)系統(tǒng)提升20%；與中國航空工業(yè)集團完成的緊湊型電靜液作動器電驅系統(tǒng)，提高了功率密度和系統(tǒng)效率；與合作單位浙江華擎航空發(fā)動機科技有限公司，聯(lián)合研制了起發(fā)電機集成式渦輪發(fā)動機，已應用于在某型號飛行器。

據(jù)張何介紹，項目還有一大創(chuàng)新亮點，即將有關技術移植于上下游領域，在項目合作單位永久磁業(yè)有限公司實現(xiàn)了用于高端電機的超高溫度性能磁性材料的應用；在合作單位寧波卡倫特電器有限公司，推出小型家用器械電機產(chǎn)品，性能達到國際領先水平。近三年實現(xiàn)新增銷售超10億元。

“項目成果產(chǎn)業(yè)化，通過高性能、世界領先的電機驅動器推動航空運輸領域‘碳達峰、碳中和’是我們一直秉承的理念。希望通過技術革新真正為人類和社會作出一點點改變和貢獻。”

UNNC wins first prize in the 2022 Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award

A project for aeroplane electric drive systems with improved efficiency and reduced weight, led by the UNNC Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Group, won first prize in the 2022 Municipal Science and Technology Progress Award. The team is one of the nine awardees in the whole city.

Professor Patrick Chau, Vice provost for Research and Knowledge Exchange, expressed his congratulations to the team and thanked all for their contribution towards fulfilling China’s aviation dreams. “UNNC is committed to promoting cutting-edge research and innovation, both in China and globally. The university leverages high-quality research resources, combined with the needs of China's economic and social development, to introduce top level research platforms and develop high-quality science and technology innovations. This great achievement is an honoured recognition from local government to the university’s scientific research impact contributing to the development of the aviation technology industry,” said professor Chau.

Named “Research and development of key design technologies for high reliable and lightweight aeroplane electric drive systems and their industrialization application”, the project is undertaken in collaboration with Ningbo Permanent Magnetic Industry Co., Ltd., Sino-Engine Technologies Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Karen Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. to carry out industrialization research. Focusing on key technologies, the project has overcome the key design bottlenecks and achieved a balance between reduced weight, high efficiency, and high reliability of aeroplane electric drive systems.

Previously, the PEMC research group has successfully won the first batch of ‘High-Level Innovative University Teams’ in Zhejiang, Provincial Key Laboratory, and Zhejiang Aviation Electrification Technology Engineering Research Centre.

Professor He Zhang, the group leader of this project, proudly praised the team as a true dream team. “Together we have made world-class scientific research achievements. At the same time, we have worked closely with industry to solve real world problems,” he said.

Dr Weiduo Zhao, who has been engaged in this research area since 2015, mentioned the team’s strong global link. “At each group meeting, experts and scholars are from world-leading institutions. Therefore, we have a bigger picture when thinking and solving problems,” he said.

Professor Giampaolo Buticchi, who leads the power electronics activities in the team, feels that it’s a great honour to achieve this recognition, since the award is very prestigious and evaluates the teams across multiple dimensions. “This achievement gives me even more motivation to carry out my research,” he said.

According to Professor Zhang, the theoretical outcome of this project included over 100 academic papers in top international journals and five national invention patents. The practical achievements include a high-power rating DC Starter/Generator system for aeroplane engines with improved efficiency and reduced weight, a compact electro hydrostatic actuator electric drive system with improved power density and system efficiency, and a generator integrated turbine engine, which has been applied to a certain type of aircraft.

The project also includes a major innovation, namely transplanting relevant technologies upstream and downstream in the industrial chain. In the partnership with Ningbo Permanent Magnetic Industry Co., Ltd., they have together developed the application of ultra-high temperature performance magnetic materials for high-end motors; In the partnership with Ningbo Karen Electric Appliance Co., Ltd., they have launched small household appliance motor products with internationally leading performance. In the past three years, the project has achieved new sales of over 1 billion yuan.

Professor Zhang said, "I hope that we can not only make world-leading efficient airplane generators, but also integrate research results into the industry, and make contributions to humanity and society through our technological innovations.”
