“…Since harmonic cancellation and power factor correction are two critical requirements for improving the power quality of MEA, [66] applied full-bridge inversion topology-based APFs along with harmonic-oriented control techniques for THD attenuation. Different from [66], a novel dual-buck inversion topology for APF was proposed in [67] to eliminate harmonics, correct the power factor of supplies, and minimize the effect of unbalanced loads. It was demonstrated that the THD and power factor of the generator voltage and current of the studied MEA power system with the proposed APF are in compliance with the most recent military aircraft electrical standard MIL-STD-704F.…”

This paper presents a review of the electrical and electronic technologies investigated in moreelectric aircraft (MEA). In order to change the current situation of low power efficiency, serious pollution, and high operating cost in conventional aircraft, the concept of MEA is proposed. By converting some hydraulic, mechanical, and pneumatic power sources into electrical ones, the overall power efficiency is greatly increased, and more flexible power regulation is achieved. The main components in an MEA power system are electrical machines and power electronics devices. The design and control methods for electrical machines and various topologies and control strategies for power electronic converters have been widely researched. Besides, several studies are carried out regarding energy management strategies that intend to optimize the operation of MEA power distribution systems. Furthermore, it is necessary to investigate the system stability and reliability issues in an MEA, since they are directly related to the safety of passengers. In terms of machine technologies, power electronics techniques, energy management strategies, and the system stability and reliability, a review is carried out for the contributions in the literature to MEA. INDEX TERMS More-electric aircraft, machine technologies, power electronics techniques, energy management strategies, system stability and reliability.

“…However this method is laborious and low accuracy. Compared with manual inspection, the accuracy and stability of automatic inspection by robots [3], [4] or UAV [5]- [7] have been greatly improved, but the cost of inspection is still high and the real-time performance is poor. The current on-line monitoring system of transmission line usually adopts wired communication technology [8]- [10].…”

The tower is a key component of the transmission line system and its stability and reliability is the guarantee for the safety of entire transmission line system. This paper proposes a transmission tower monitoring network integrating wireless sensor network (WSN) and radio frequency identification (RFID). Compared to current designs, the proposed monitoring network shows the advantages of low cost, fast fault locating, tracking and management of grid equipment, and long-time monitoring. Low delay design is critical for the proposed monitoring network. In order to achieve balance between transmission delay and network cost, this paper establishes the transmission delay model for sink node optimization. For the redundant data of RFID, this paper presents a novel data cleaning scheme specially for the transmission tower monitoring, which can effectively reduce the redundant data at the reader end. The simulation results show that the optimal group number is 10 according to the proposed delay model. INDEX TERMS Transmission line tower monitoring network, WSN, RFID, relay node optimization, redundant data processing.

Abstract:In this paper, we present our research into the interruption performance of vacuum circuit breakers in aviation intermediate-frequency (360 Hz to 800 Hz) power supply systems. Intermediate-frequency vacuum arc experiments were carried out in interrupters with a diameter of 41 mm and CuCr50 alloy contact material. The results show that, as the frequency and peak value of the current increase, both the peak value and rise rate of the intermediate-frequency vacuum arc voltage also increase, and the interruption ability decreases. However, compared to the power frequency current at the same value, the erosion of the contacts is weaker over a shorter arc period. When the vacuum arc reignites, metal droplets are emitted from the contacts. The drive force is from the center of the contact to the edge. If the density of the plasmas and metal vapors and the number of the metal droplets reaches a certain level, the arc may break down, which will cause the interruption to fail.
