  • Patent number: 9983609
    Abstract: An electrical energy distribution network in a transport vehicle, such as an aircraft, includes nodes to which at least one power supply source and at least one equipment can be connected by external links. The nodes are interconnected by internode links forming at least one mesh in a meshed network, each mesh being polygonal of order higher than or equal to three, at least one node of each mesh being an active node controlled by a management unit. The active nodes include switches and transmit physical operating characteristics measurements to the management unit, which configures the active nodes according to said measurements so as to enable each equipment to receive power supply via the meshed network. Flexibility in configuration of the electrical energy distribution network is thus achieved.

  • Patent number: 9503192
    Abstract: A data network, especially a data network for an aircraft or spacecraft, includes a primary data grid, and at least one secondary data grid, the primary data grid including primary data nodes, wherein the primary data nodes are directly or indirectly coupled in data communication with each other, and the at least one secondary data grid comprising secondary data nodes, wherein the at least one secondary data grid is configured to connect the secondary data nodes in a data communication chain and to connect the first secondary data node of the data communication chain to a first respective primary data node and/or the last secondary data node of the data communication chain to a second respective primary data node.

  • Publication number: 20150134137
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an electrical energy distribution network in a transport vehicle, such as an aircraft, of the type comprising nodes to which, by means of links, referred as external links, at least one power supply source and equipment to be supplied by said power supply source can be connected. According to the invention, said nodes are connected together by internode links forming at least one mesh in a meshed network, said or each mesh being polygonal of an order higher than or equal to three, at least one node of the or each mesh being an active node designed to be controlled by a management unit in order to control each of the electrical links of the internode and external links connected to said active node. The present invention also concerns an electrical installation comprising at least one such electrical energy distribution network.
