Power System Control Study. Phase I. Integrated Control Techniques. Phase II. Detail Design and System Modeling

摘要

This report documents the results of a two phase program which addresses the integration of advanced power system control technologies into a reliable and fault tolerant system. The advanced control technologies integrated include: electric engine start, automatic load management, microprocessor control implementations, design techniques for providing no-gap power and an all solid state electric power distribution system. Electric system performance requirements are established and preliminary designs of an integrated baseline control system for single and multiengine aircraft for the 1990 operational time period are presented. Finally, a detail design was performed for a single and a multiple engine electric system. Analytical models and computer programs were developed for the IDG and VSCF implemented electrical systems. A users guide for each of the programs was prepared. Simulation runs of typical electrical system operations were made on the computer graphics system and included in the final engineering report.
