Fault Tolerant Electrical Power System. Phase 2. Analysis and Preliminary Design
Abstract
The primary purpose of the program is to develop an electrical power generation and distribution system that can supply electrical power to the various critical systems on the aircraft with a reliability and power quality level commensurate with the requirements of the loads. Phase II consisted of 4 task, Task I-FTEPS Demonstrator Basic Requirements, Task 2-Analysis, Task 3- FTEPS Demonstrator Conceptual Design, and Task 4-FTEPS Demonstrator Preliminary Design. In Task 1, the basic fault and reliability requirements of the system were developed and a load profile was established for the baseline aircraft. Task 2 activities included development of specific system requirements and reliability analysis of power delivered to the main power buses of different architectures. A data bus analysis was performed on an integrated single data bus and an integrated hierarchical data bus. The hierarchical data bus was selected for the FTEPS. In Task 3, conceptual designs were developed for a 3 generator configuration and a 4 generator configuration with the 4 generator configuration being selected for further development in Task 4, Preliminary Design. Preliminary designs were developed for the power generator system, the distribution system, the data bus control system, the integrated load simulator and a laboratory support system. Keywords: Computer applications.
