  • Patent number: 12068645
    Abstract: A system configured to deliver as output a polyphase current of constant frequency from a synchronous generator driven at variable speed. The system includes, at the output of the generator, an AC-to-DC active rectifier including one arm per phase of the current, a DC bus and a DC-to-AC inverter for the output including one arm per phase of the current, the inverter or the DC bus including an arm connected to the neutral, each arm including a controllable switch, the system including an electronic control unit driving the rectifier and including means for tracking a voltage for the rectifier and/or the inverter and means for controlling the inverter, the system including an EMC filter including one arm for each phase of the current, each arm including an inductor, a capacitor connected in a bypass downstream of the inductor, the arm connected to the neutral being connected to each bypass.

  • Patent number: 11338928
    Abstract: A system for supplying electrical energy to at least one electrical load of an aircraft, this system including a main source of electrical energy connected to at least one electrical load through an electrical network, the system including a control device connected to the main source of electrical energy and configured to deliver a variable voltage level on the electrical network based on a predetermined voltage variation law depending on at least one parameter characterizing the altitude of the aircraft and according to the Paschen law with a predefined margin.

  • 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.
