The more electric aircraft provides 115 V/360~800 Hz variable frequency power supply for the variable frequency asynchronous motor, and the motor operation characteristics change with the power frequency variation. It causes the starting pulse vibration torque with the low-frequency power supply (360 Hz) to increase greatly and the mechanical shock and fatigue damage. Therefore, this paper proposes step-down starting method with the low-frequency power supply. Based on the electromagnetic principles generated by the starting pulse vibration torque, this paper uses a novel method of simulation data fitting to establish an approximate model of the starting pulse vibration torque. The parameter design formulas of the low-frequency step-down starting methods, including the reducing voltage, the series resistance, and the series inductance are proposed. The effectiveness of the different methods are verified, and the performance is compared through the simulation. The experimental verification of a small power asynchronous motor is completed. The simulation and experiment results show that the low-frequency step-down starting methods effectively reduce the starting peak torque, and also suppress the shock impact of starting current on the power supply.
The energy structure change of more electric aircraft makes the aircraft airborne system more complicated. Each subsystem realizes the transmission, interaction, and conversion of energy and information through the dynamic coupling and coordinated control of electrical energy, mechanical energy, hydraulic energy, and thermal energy. This paper applies the multiphysical domain modeling method with the parameter identification according to the original model data. Based on the power conversion relationship of electrical equipment, it defines the port with the power potential variable and flow variable and is supplemented by the information control. It can show the dynamic characteristics, power conversion, and loss characteristics of the device itself. The models can conveniently perform the large-scale system integration, which not only can build the complex electrical equipment formed by multiphysical domain models with the series connection but also can build a complex power supply system formed by multiphysical domain models with the parallel connection.
