Abstract: An aircraft starting and generating system includes a starter/generator and an inverter/converter/controller that is connected to the starter/generator and that generates AC power to drive the starter/generator in a start mode for starting a prime mover of the aircraft, and that converts AC power, obtained from the starter/generator after the prime mover have been started, to DC power in a generate mode of the starter/generator. A four leg inverter is coupled with the DC power output and has an inverter/converter/controller (ICC) with a four leg MOSFET-based bridge configuration that drives the starter/generator in a start mode for starting a prime mover of the aircraft, and converts DC power to AC power in a generate mode of the starter/generator. A four leg bridge gate driver is configured to drive the four leg MOSFET-based bridge using pulse width modulation (PWM) during start and generate mode.

Abstract: One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for operating a gas turbine engine. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for operating a gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine including at least a high pressure spool and a low pressure spool. The method includes causing, by one or more control devices, electrical power to be drawn from the high pressure spool and the low pressure spool into a power distribution system. The method includes determining, by the one or more control devices, a power adjustment event associated with the high pressure spool. The method includes initiating, by the one or more control devices, a power assist operation to redirect electrical power to the high pressure spool based at least in part on the power adjustment event.
