  • Patent number: 11873112
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for sychronising energy sources coupled to an electrical grid supplying at least one electrical load of an aircraft, said system comprising: a main source of electrical energy supplying said electrical load comprising a multi-stage generator, said multi-stage generator comprising: a primary stage comprising a generator with permanent magnets, a secondary stage comprising an excitation, and a tertiary stage comprising a main generator; an auxiliary source of electrical energy supplying said electrical load; and a device for synchronising the main source and the auxiliary source, designed to measure an electrical voltage at the outlet of the primary stage of the main source, and to control the supply of said electrical load by means of the auxiliary source of electrical energy at an electrical voltage slaved to the characteristics of frequency and phase of the electrical voltage of the primary stage.

  • Patent number: 10913544
    Abstract: A method of electrically powering an electrical load in an aircraft, the method including electrically powering the electrical load with a main source that generates electricity; measuring an instantaneous parameter characterizing the main source; determining a level of use of the main source from the measured instantaneous parameter; adjusting the voltage of the main source as a function of the level of use; measuring an output voltage from the main source; comparing the measured voltage or the level of use with a predetermined threshold value; and whenever the measured voltage is less than the predetermined threshold value, electrically powering the electrical load from an auxiliary source that stores electricity so as to supply additional electric power to the electrical load.
