DC bus power electronic conditioner for electric aircraft system

Abstract

This project deals with the Electric Power Quality (PQ) in aeronautical environments. The More Electric Aircraft (MEA) concept focuses in the replacement of pneumatic and hydraulic actuators by electromechanical actuators and increases the electric power demand in the aircraft. The master project aims to the study and the implementation of a Power Electronic Conditioner (PEC) to mitigate the unwanted effects found in the DC aircraft internal feeders. The PEC must deal with the current unbalance between the positive and negative poles of the DC bus to comply with the standards. The speciĄc objectives are the development of a mathematical dynamic model for the current redistributor used as PEC and the study of control strategies for this aircraft electrical environment. Digital control solutions, with DSPs, FPGAs were studied along the project development. The appendixes provide the paper published in Cobep/Spec 2019 and experimental Setup.
