  • Design of DC-Link VSCF AC Electrical Power System for the Embraer 190/195 Aircraft
    Available online at http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/jate Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering 7:1 (2017) 19–44 Design of DC-Link VSCF AC Electrical Power System for the Embraer 190/195 Aircraft Eduardo Francis Carvalho Freitas ETEP – Faculdade de Tecnologia de Sa˜o Jose´ dos Campos, Brazil Nihad E. Daidzic AAR Aerospace Consulting, LLC Abstract A proposed novel DC-Link VSCF AC-DC-AC electrical power system converter for Embraer 190/195 transport category airplane is presented. The proposed converter could replace the existing conventional system based on the CSCF IDGs. Several contemporary production airplanes already have VSCF as a major or backup source of electrical power. Problems existed with the older VSCF systems in the past; however, the switched power electronics and digital controllers have matured and can be now, in our opinion, safely integrated and replace existing constant-speed hydraulic transmissions powering CSCF AC generators. IGBT power transistors for medium-level power conversion and relatively fast efficient switching are used. Electric power generation, conversion, distribution, protection, and load management utilizing VSCF offers flexibility, redundancy, and reliability not available with a conventional CSCF IDG systems. The proposed DC-Link VSCF system for E190/195 delivers several levels of 3-w AC and DC power, namely 330/270/28 VDC and 200/ 115/26 VAC utilizing 12-pulse rectifiers, Buck converters, and 3-w 12-step inverters with D-Y, Y-Y, and Y-D 3-w transformers. Conventional bipolar double-edge carrier-based pulse-width-modulation using three reference AC phase signals and up to 100 kHz triangular carriers are used in a manner to remove all even and many odd super-harmonics.

    Job Task Analysis of the Aviation Maintenance Technician Larin K. Adams Edward J. Czepiel Gilbert K. Krulee The Transportation Center Northwestern University 1936 Sheridan Road Evanston IL 60208 Jean Watson Office of Aviation Medicine Federal Aviation Administration May 1999 Final Report Executive Summary The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for the training and certification of Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). In carrying out these responsibilities, there has always been a need to rely on a realistic understanding of the work actually performed and of the skills in carrying out this work. At the present time, the regulations are based upon data that is now somewhat out of date. Specifically, regulations are based upon data collected as part of the Allen Study, completed in 1974. Because of the many technological changes that have taken place over the past 25 years, Northwestern University has taken on the responsibility for carrying out a second job task analysis (JTA) with the objective of bringing up-to-date and understanding of the work currently performed by AMTs. This effort has the overall objective of setting the stage for a number of important improvements. First, there is the need to encourage the schools responsible for the training of AMTs to engage in an effort at curriculum revision and reform. The objectives of these changes would be to modernize these instructional programs in light of the changes that have taken that govern both the certification of the schools as well as of the AMT graduates of these schools. This job task analysis now being completed by Northwestern University’s Transportation Center has been carried out in three phases, with the current phase being the third in this sequence.

SAE1202 -AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS UNIT-III AC &DC POWER GENERATION Prepared by :Ponnidevi.J Alternators • Three-phase AC generators called alternators provide most of the electrical power we use today. • Electrical power companies use alternators rated in gigawatts. • 1 gigawatt = 1,000,000,000 watts Alternators use the same operating principle as direct-current generators. However, alternators have no commutator to change the armature AC into DC. Most alternators are three-phase Construction • There are two basic types of alternators – revolving-armature-type alternators – Revolving-field-type alternators Revolving-Armature-Type Alternators • The revolving-armature type is the least used of the two basic types • This type uses sliprings instead of a commutator. • The armature windings are rotated inside a magnetic field. • This type has very limited output power. Revolving-Field-Type Alternators • The revolving-field type uses a stationary armature called a stator and a rotating magnetic field.

  • Thermal Management Systems for Civil Aircraft Engines: Review, Challenges and Exploring the Future
    applied sciences Review Thermal Management Systems for Civil Aircraft Engines: Review, Challenges and Exploring the Future Soheil Jafari * and Theoklis Nikolaidis Centre for Propulsion Engineering, School of Aerospace Transport and Manufacturing (SATM), Cranfield University, Cranfield MK43 0AL, UK; t.nikolaidis@cranfield.ac.uk * Correspondence: s.jafari@cranfield.ac.uk Received: 26 September 2018; Accepted: 22 October 2018; Published: 24 October 2018 Abstract: This paper examines and analytically reviews the thermal management systems proposed over the past six decades for gas turbine civil aero engines. The objective is to establish the evident system shortcomings and to identify the remaining research questions that need to be addressed to enable this important technology to be adopted by next generation of aero engines with complicated designs. Future gas turbine aero engines will be more efficient, compact and will have more electric parts. As a result, more heat will be generated by the different electrical components and avionics. Consequently, alternative methods should be used to dissipate this extra heat as the current thermal management systems are already working on their limits. For this purpose, different structures and ideas in this field are stated in terms of considering engines architecture, the improved engine efficiency, the reduced emission level and the improved fuel economy. This is followed by a historical coverage of the proposed concepts dating back to 1958. Possible thermal management systems development concepts are then classified into four distinct classes: classic, centralized, revolutionary and cost-effective; and critically reviewed from challenges and implementation considerations points of view. Based on this analysis, the potential solutions for dealing with future challenges are proposed including combination of centralized and revolutionary developments and combination of classic and cost-effective developments.

Groom and Ray V. Hood Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia Proceedings of a workshop held in Hampton, Virginia June 9-10,1981 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Sciontific and Tadmica1 Information Branch 1982 PREFACE A joint NASA/industryworkshop on electric flight systems was held in Hampton, p' Virginia,June 9-10,1981. The purpose of the workshop was toprovide a forumfor li' the effectiveinterchange of ideas, plans,and program information needed to developthe technology for electric flight systems applications to both aircraft andspacecraft during the years 1985 to 2000. Approximately 154 government/ industry representatives attended the workshop. The first dayconsisted of a number of presentations by industry representa- tives.These presentations provided an excellent overview of work eitherbeing conductedor planned by the varioussegments of the aerospaceindustry. On the secondday of the workshop,separate working group sessions were heldcovering six disciplinary areas related to electric flight systems. These areas were: engine technology; power systems;environmental control systems; electromechanical actuators; digital flight controls;and electric flight systemsintegration. Each group was asked to consider the principalcomponent and system technology issues related to that particular discipline area, majorsteps to be taken relative to ~ technologydevelopment and application, NASA's role,and views on whether flight testing of an all-electric airplane would be necessaryto improve the data base and 1 determinefeasibility. Following these workingsessions, summary reports on the 1 findingsand conclusions of each group were presented by the groupchairmen at a plenary session.
