The topology employed here is one of the main candidates for future more-electric aircraft (MEA). A detailed mathematical model is developed and comprehensive EPS modal analysis is performed. Eigenvalue sensitivity and participation factor are utilized in order to assess the effect of machine and control parameters, as well as system operating conditions, on EPS stability. Furthermore, this paper also presents comparative analysis of system models with and without the inclusion of system cabling. This crucial analysis shows that the tendencies in stability behavior can be significantly different with and without cabling. It is therefore shown that system simplification, by removal of cabling, can deliver remarkably misleading results. Time domain simulations are carried out to support the theoretical analysis. The comprehensive analysis presented in this paper provides EPS designers with an extremely useful methodology for the selection of appropriate EPS parameters at the early design stages.Index Terms-Modal analysis, stability, eigenvalue sensitivity, more electric aircraft, DC power distribution.

Electric Power Systems in More and All Electric Aircraft: A Review

“…Eigenvalues in small signal stability analysis performed in [66] are needed to be calculated with varying parameters and, thus, authors in [111] provided analysis utilizing eigenvalue sensitivity and participation factor in MEA EPS. Besides, authors showed that simulation results differ in a meaningful way when cabling is considered, that omitting cables can lead to misleading simulation results.…”

“…W ITH the ongoing continuous development of the moreelectric aircraft (MEA) [1]- [7] concept, replacing the ac electrical power systems (EPS) with a dc distribution systems has become a new research direction and development tendency [1], [2], [8], [9]. Compared with ac systems, dc systems are much simpler to control and they have no reactive power thus don't need compensation devices.…”
