Cover Story: In recent decades, the problem of pollution related to human activities has pushed research towards zero or net-zero carbon solutions for transportation. The main objective of this paper is to perform a preliminary performance assessment of the use of hydrogen in conventional turbine engines for aeronautical applications. A 0-D dynamic model of the Allison 250 C-18 turboshaft engine was designed in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The model was dimensioned based on the parameters measured during the testing campaign and validated by the acquired data using Jet A-1 fuel. Further, the 0-D dynamic engine model was used to predict the performance of the engine, using hydrogen as the input of the theoretical combustion model. The simulation’s outputs running conventional Kerosene Jet A-1 and hydrogen and using different throttle profiles were compared. View this paper
