Project and Performance Evaluation on an Optimized 18-Pulse Rectifier With Delta-Differential Connection ATRU and Cascaded Boost Converters for More Electric Aircraft
Abstract:This paper presents the design and analysis of a special Rectifier Unit (RU) composed of a Delta-Differential Symmetric 18-pulse Autotransformer and cascade Boost converters for applications in More Electric Aircraft (MEA), which is denominated as RU-DDS18PATR+Boost. The cascaded Boost converters provide dc-link regulation, while eliminating the need to use interphase transformers (IPTs), interphase rectors (IPRs), and zero-sequence blocking transformers (ZSBTs), thus contributing toward decreasing the complex… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
