| Abstract |
This paper describes research related to producing integrated electric motor driven flight control
surface actuation systems, for a More Electric Aircraft. The main requirements and motor options are
discussed. The advantage of the Matrix Converter in terms of compactness, due to removal of energy
storage elements, is highlighted. However, this advantage is shown to bring with it problems when
motors which have switched voltage and current waveforms are employed. The resulting
discontinuities in power flow during current commutations are reflected at the input terminals to the
drive as supply current harmonics. |
