High Performance Generation Channel Integration

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

This topic will integrate and demonstrate, in the context of a developed supervisory control architecture, a high-performance high-voltage direct current electrical power generation system with a dependable mechanical isolation system for the protection against highly dissipative failure modes. These technologies are fundamental to optimized highly power dense and efficient power systems, using for example Permanent Magnet Generators, and permitting sharing between electrical sources to meet the needs of future more electric aircraft systems. The demonstration will utilise a high-performance test rig permitting combinations of external effects to be applied as well as emulation of faults and degradation of hardware.
