Control and Stability Analysis of More Electric Aircraft Power Systems.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
More Electric Aircraft (MEA) underline the utilization of electrical power to power the traditional aircraft systems. Through replacing the hydraulic, pneumatic, and petrol power with electrical power, MEA achieve numerous advantages over the traditional aircraft in system reliability, cost, energy efficiency, and pollution emission. More electrical loads and generation components of an MEA increase the system control complexity and meanwhile demand higher system performance in stability, reliability, and efficiency. This dissertation addresses specific areas of the analysis and control of MEA power systems. A fault-tolerant multi-phase permanent magnetic motor and drive system is proposed that utilizes the model predictive loss minimization direct torque control (DTC) and can deliver superior system response, efficiency, and fault tolerance comparing with traditional control strategy. At the same time, the majority of electrical motor & loads in MEA can be classified as CPLs. A CPL has the small-signal negative impedance, which may significantly degrade the stability margin of the power system. An analytical method is proposed to predict the system stability with CPLs under the change of operating points as well as design parameters. This work can be served as a reference guide for similar MEA power system design as well as can be interconnected with other system for a more powerful and flexible stability analysis tool.
