The Study of Selected Multi-Pulse Rectifiers, used in 'Conventional' Airplanes and Aircrafts Compatible with the Concept of a 'More/All Electric Aircraft' (MEA/AEA)

摘要

Based on the analysis, mathematical models and simulation of the power of modern aircrafts (conventional, MEA/AEA) in the terms of key components of on-board autonomous power supply system ASE, which are multi-pulse rectifiers (6-, 12- and 18-, 24-) pulse, and even (48-, 60-) pulse, presented in this paper, the main importance of these components of ASE (PES, EPS) system was highlighted. The key objective of the paper is to make an analysis, presentation of the mathematical models and simulation of selected multi-pulse rectifiers, used not only on civil airplanes compatible with the concept of the more/all electric aircraft of Airbus and Boeing airline corporations (A-380 and A-350XWB, B-787) and on military Lockheed Martin JSF aircraft (Joint Strike Fighter) F-35 and F-22 Raptor, but also for "conventional" military aircraft (F-18, F-16) and civilian (A-320, B-777). Additionally, in the final part of the paper, the analysis and exemplary simulations of main components of ASE in the field of PES system (multi-pulse rectifiers) based on mathematical models have contributed to highlighting the key practical applications in terms of the trend of MEA/AEA.
