Abstract-The constant growth of air traffic, the demand for performance optimization and the need for decreasing both operating and maintenance costs have encouraged the aircraft industry to move towards more electric solutions. As a result of this trend, electric power required on board of aircraft has significantly increased through the years, causing major changes in electric power system architectures. Considering this scenario, the paper gives a review about the evolution of electric power generation systems in aircraft. The major achievements are highlighted and the rationale behind some significant developments discussed. After a brief historical overview of the early DC generators (both wind-and engine-driven), the reasons which brought the definitive passage to the AC generation, for larger aircraft, are presented and explained. Several AC generation systems are investigated with particular attention being focused on the voltage levels and the generator technology. Further, examples of commercial aircraft implementing AC generation systems are provided. Finally, the trends towards modern generation systems are also considered giving prominence to their challenges and feasibility.

The proposed approach, which can be used in terrestrial DC microgrids as well, effectively improves the load sharing accuracy under high droop gain circumstance with consideration of cable impedance. Since no extra communication line and controllers are required, it is easily implemented and also increases the system modularity and reliability. By using the proposed approach the DC transmission losses can be reduced and system stability is not deteriorated for normal and fault scenarios. In this paper optimal droop gain settings are investigated and the selection of individual droop gains as well as the proportional power sharing ratio has been described. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Index Terms-DC power system, droop control, load sharing, voltage deviation, transmission losses.

This paper deals with the source/load impedance analysis of the droop-controlled multiple sources multiple loads system which is a promising candidate in the future more-electric aircraft (MEA). This paper develops a mathematical model of the PMSG-based variable frequency generation system, derives the output impedance of the source subsystem including converter dynamics and shows the effect of parameters variation on source impedance and load impedance. A dynamic droop controller is proposed to provide the active damping to the system. In addition, the impedance analysis is extended to a generalized single bus-based multiple sources multiple loads system in which power losses are also investigated. The aforementioned analytical result is confirmed by experimental results.
