Study of Multi-Pulse Rectifiers of the PES System in Accordance with the Concept of a More Electric Aircraft

摘要

The subject of this paper is to conduct the testing process of multi-pulse rectifiers (6-, 12- and 18-, 24-) impulse of energo-electronic power supply system in terms of the on-board electrical energy power processing of the aircraft (analysis, mathematical model, simulations) in accordance with more and more the growing "more-electric" trend of modern advanced aircrafts. The above trend is referred to in the literature of the subject of research as the concept of "more electric aircraft" or "more electric technology". The primary goal of the paper is to create a transducer model implemented in aviation, i.e. the one that can be considered for use, both on civil aircraft of aviation corporations (Airbus, Boeing) in terms of their hit products (A-380 and A-350XWB, B-787), as well as on military aircraft of the Lockheed Martin corporation (JSF F-35 and F-22 Raptor) compatible with the concept of a partially/fully electric aircraft. Based on the above considerations, in the final part of the paper based on the conducted simulations of selected multi-pulse rectifiers, the simulation processes performed in the Matlab/Simulink program were made and practical conclusions were drawn on this basis.
