Abstract |
Aircraft nowadays carry various loads imposing a very dynamic load profile on the electricaldistribution bus. The proposed bidirectional converter topology and its controller successfullystabilise the power bus in any combination of distribution impedance and constant –power / pulsedloads. The power topology permits the use of a storage capacitor with lower rating, as all of the storedenergy can be used. A simple adaptive controller was developed, requiring only voltagemeasurements, thus dispensing with expensive sensors. Extensive SABER simulation results arepresented which verify the control principles and demonstrate the practicality of the approach. |
