The effect of speed variation on aircraft electric power systems: Speed modulation and voltage modulation

摘要

HIGHER-PERFORMANCE aircraft and missiles place extreme requirements on electric power systems. These systems cannot be divided into components such as drive generator, or regulator, as has been done in the past; rather, they have to be treated as a whole or a system. This places new emphasis on the division between mechanical drive and electric components. This paper deals with this co-ordination problem and the effect of each component on the others.
