Simulating electrical faults within future aircraft networks
Simplifying converter models is necessary to improve simulation execution times but many techniques fail for system-level studies. A mathematically simpler approach is established which provides accurate results when compared against existing techniques, with orders of magnitude reduction in simulation time. The developed methods have been used to de-risk hardware builds in the later stages of the EU Framework V ‘Power Optimised Aircraft’ project, to support industry involvement in the UK-led industry consortium ASTRAEA [Rolls-Royce EPACS, mike.hirst@rollsroycemarine.com], and to support the electrical protection evaluation of the SEAS-DTC project IEPNEF at the University of Manchester [andrew.forsyth@manchester.ac.uk].
