Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling aircraft electrical power are disclosed. A system in accordance with one embodiment includes an electric motor, an aircraft load coupled to the electric motor and powered by the electric motor, and a motor controller coupled to the electric motor to vary an output of the electric motor. The motor controller is changeable among a fixed number of preset controller modes, with individual controller modes corresponding to an operation mode of the aircraft and a non-zero output level of the electric motor. In further embodiments, motor controllers can be substituted for each other, e.g., in the event one motor controller becomes unoperational.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for controlling electrical power in an aircraft, including controlling the operation of motor controllers in a manner dependent on the mode of operation of the aircraft, and / or substituting one motor controller for another One. Background technique [0002] Aircraft manufacturers are under continuous pressure to reduce the power required by commercial transport aircraft and to increase the efficiency with which such aircraft are used to operate. One way to accomplish these goals is to replace equipment that has historically been powered by bleed air or shaft output from aircraft engines with electrically powered equipment. For example, hydraulic pumps on newer generation aircraft are now driven by electric motors. Hydraulic pumps pressurize hydraulic fluid, which in turn is used to power many aircraft systems, including landing gear, high lift devices (e.g., leading edge equipment a...
