Potential analysis for the optimization of the electrical network of large modern civil and future single aisle aircraft and examples of the network capacity utilisation
“…However, a critical issue of MEA is the weight of the needed electric components and systems as discussed in [4]. Thus, weight reduction is one the main drivers for future aircraft systems [5], [6]. Typical electrical power distribution architectures as applied in today's aircraft can be found in [7] and [8].…”
This review paper summarizes state-of-the-art energy management methods applied to electrical systems of large aircraft. An electrical load management based on fixed priorities of the loads is considered a conventional implementation as applied in today's aircraft systems. It can cut and reconnect loads depending on their importance. The advantages and disadvantages of such a system are presented. Further implementations are depicted that are able to eliminate certain drawbacks of such a typical load management. Most promising is the exploitation of so-called slow responding loads which can be handled like an electrical storage. The optimization potential on future energy management functions is finally discussed and conclusions are drawn.

“…Indeed, modern power networks, in aircrafts for instance, are mainly composed of Power Electronics Converters, interfacing sources and loads to the grid [1], [2]. Therefore, power quality constraints (in the low frequency range), as well as EMC requirements (high frequency) impose adding specific filters.…”
Section: Taking Into Account Interactions Between Converters In the Dmentioning
Abstract-This paper presents some key interactions among converters, which need to be taken into account when designing a modern embedded electrical grid, including a large amount of Power Electronics based loads. A design by Optimization method is first used to define the converter parameters. During this step, it is mandatory to account for the interaction between the input and output EMI filters. The second step consists in designing the control strategy; the paper will show that the results are largely improved if all converters are considered simultaneously. Finally, the stability study of the embedded network has to be investigated. All these interactions are studied in the example of a three phases AC network, composed of a Voltage Source Inverter and an Active Front End.
