“…This topic is addressed in the specialized literature using Matlab/Simulink [17,18], or with the simulation made in other programming languages (Saber [19,20], ANSYS Simplorer [21, 22,], Amesim [23], SimVimCockpit [24]), but the generator is driven from a constant torque, never using the CSD, as it is in reality, and with the help of which the automatic control of the rotational speed, respectively of the frequency is also done.…”

Although recent developments in aircraft electrical technology have had a significant impact on aircraft electrical power systems (EPS), thus reminding the development and production of more electric aircraft (MEA), but also important steps in the development of all-electric aircraft (AEA), still the EPS of the latest aircraft produced by the two big players in the market, the Neo series from Airbus and the NG or Max from Boeing respectively, is completely traditional – a constant speed constant frequency (CSCF) system. Thus, for an alternating current one, it is composed of the power source – the integrated drive generator (IDG), the command and control system – the generator control unit (GCU), the transmission and distribution system, the protection system – the CBs (circuit breaker) and electrical loads. This paper presents the design and simulation of an aircraft EPS using Simulink’s Simscape package, a MATLAB program, and for the first time in the specialized literature, a model of the constant speed drive (CSD) generated with the same program is used to drive the synchronous generator (SG) in the IDG.

Recent developments in aircraft electrical technology, such as the design and production of more electric aircraft (MEA) and major steps in the development of all-electric aircraft (AEA), have had a significant impact on aircraft’ electrical power systems (EPSs). However, the EPSs of the latest aircraft produced by the main players in the market, Airbus with the Neo series and Boeing with the NG and MAX series are still completely traditional and based on the constant speed constant frequency (CSCF) configuration. For alternating current ones, the EPS is composed of the following: prime movers, namely the aircraft turbofan engine (TE); the electrical power source, i.e., the integrated drive generator (IDG); the command and control system, the generator control unit (GCU); the transmission and the system distribution system; the protection system, i.e., the CBs (circuit breakers); and the electrical loads. This paper presents the analysis of this system using the Simscape package from Simulink v 8.7, a MATLAB v 9.0 program, which is actually the development of some systems designed in two previous personal papers. For the first time in the literature, a complete MATLAB modelled EPS system was presented, i.e., the aircraft turbofan engine model, driven by the constant speed drive system (CSD) (model presented in the first reference as a standalone type and with different parameters), linked to the synchronous generator (SG) (model presented in second reference for lower power and rotational speed) in the so-called integrated drive generator (IDG) and electrical loads.
