Towards Smart Electric Power Systems in Future Aircraft
Towards Smart Electric Power Systems in Future Aircraft // Plenary session of 2016 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Energy and Power Systems IEPS, KYIV, Ukraine
S. Bozhko, S. Peresada
Presentation Content: Introduction; More-Electric Aircraft Concept; Changes in on-board Electric Power Systems; Introduction of smart-grid functionalities into aircraft Electric Power Systems; Key Challenges.
S. Bozhko and S. Peresada discussed aircraft problems to become more smart concerning electric power systems. The More-Electric Aircraft:
1. Rationalization of onboard non-propulsive power.
2. Conventional devices are replaced by electrical systems;
3. Ease of electric power generation and transmission;
4. Advances in power electronics systems;
5. Great level of Availability and Maintainability – low operational costs.
6. Controllability – power on demand.
7. Green energy.
