“…Similar control scheme was introduced in [15] with the use of droop based bus voltage controller focusing on its design and stability analysis. Classic bus voltage control was used in [18], [19] and [20]. Their control schemes seemed sufficient for the priorities mentioned earlier, however an alternative control scheme has to be considered to introduce the "voltage wild" concept.…”

The paper deals with the innovative concept of "variable voltage" bus concept for future more-electric aircraft platforms. Using new functionalities and opportunities offered by innovative sources actively controlled by power electronics, there is an opportunity for significant increase of their output power (within powertrain capabilities, machine thermal limits and power converter maximum current) to supply increased load demands under certain conditions. The paper investigates application of this concept to satisfy power demands for wing ice-protection system for business-jet. The study includes detailed study into the control challenges of the proposed approach and suggests corresponding theoretical solutions. Furthermore, the controller design aspects are explored with considerations to achieve stable operation. The concept is tested in simulation environment and validated through experimental studies. This paper might be of interest for the researchers and engineers focused on innovative solutions for future aircraft platforms.

“…Currently, the actual speed can no longer track the target speed, and the required power of the rear power chain exceeds the output capacity of the engine generator set. Because of this problem, the literature [17] studies the influence of different loading rates on the engine speed-switching process. It gives the maximum allowable loading rates at different speeds through simulation to avoid engine overload.…”

Ultralight power generation equipment has high requirements for the power density, continuous operation, and transient stability of the whole machine, and there is a direct conflict between high power density and substantial stability control in the power unit design. In order to meet the power density requirements of ultralight power stations, three main problems need to be solved, namely engine speed oscillation and flameout in the process of load power mutation, matching of the generator and engine torque, and stabilizing the voltage waveform of the AC output end. In this paper, we proposed an exquisite compound control strategy for ultralight power generation systems in engines, generators, and inverters. The effectiveness and practicability of the proposed strategy are verified by both simulation and experiment. The results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively solve the instability problem of the ultralight generator set and improve the stability of the system, where response recovery can be achieved within 0.9 s under the conditions of a total load increase or decrease, and the mismatching degree of the generator following the engine is reduced by 90%. The strategy could also guarantee long-term stable operation with high-quality electrical energy output.

“…Since the latter utilizes both d and q axis currents, when the same strategy as SPMSM is used for IPMSM, the reluctance torque is not optimally used and the generator/motor is operated at a lower power factor (increasing ac side losses). For example, in [2], [4], [6], [7], [9], [10], [16], [20], the q axis current is used to control the dc bus voltage (generator) and Most controllers for dc/ac and dc/dc converters employ a two loop strategy: inner current control and outer voltage or speed/torque control [12], [22], [23], and their stability analysis is typically presented using linearization techniques such as root locus [19]. This particular control structure owes its development to the nature of the physical system, composed of both fast and slow states.…”

A new strategy is proposed to control interior permanent magnet generators in dc microgrids interfaced through an active rectifier. The controller design is based on the decomposition of the system dynamics into slow and fast modes using singular perturbation theory. An inner current controller is developed based on output regulation techniques and an outer voltage controller is proposed using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC). The NMPC regulates the dc bus voltage and minimizes the ac side losses. Simulation results are then presented based on realistic conditions for aircraft power systems.
