  • Publication number: 20220399590
    Abstract: A method for managing operation of an aircraft system comprising at least one electrical energy storage set to be supplied with DC current connected to a DC current power supply bus, at least one electrical machine providing AC current by mechanical draw on a drive system connected to a current generation control unit, a bidirectional converter configured to convert a DC voltage into AC voltage, and a control module of the converter, the management method generating a command for the converter from the angular position (?) of the electrical machine, from the intensity of the electrical current delivered by the electrical machine, and from the output electrical voltage of the converter.

  • Publication number: 20210131400
    Abstract: A method of operating a wind converter is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of forecasted datasets. The forecasted datasets include event signals for the wind converter during fast transient operating conditions (OCs) and operational data for the wind converter having a low sampling rate. The method further includes estimating a converter life consumption during normal OCs and a converter life consumption during the fast transient OCs. Further, the method includes computing a total converter life consumption of the wind converter. Moreover, the method includes predicting, using a remaining useful life (RUL) prediction module, an RUL for the wind converter based on the total converter life consumption. The method further includes adjusting operation of the wind converter by adjusting operating variables of the wind converter.

  • Patent number: 7737647
    Abstract: The invention concerns a reversible current rectifier, for connection to part of a polyphase network and to a continuous bus comprising a plurality of rectifier cells each rectifier cell including a rectifying device and a on-way electronic switch connected in anti-parallel with the rectifier device, the rectifying devices of different cells being arranged so as to form one rectifier. Each rectifier cell comprises means for controlling the electronic switch of the cell arranged to control the latter in closure after detecting a conduction of the rectifying device of the cell so as to enable current to be returned to the network. The control means are arranged to receive a signal external to the cell, for controlling the opening of the electronic switch, derived from another rectifier cell.
