Improved external power supply module for an aircraft
By designing a mobile power supply module that synchronizes with multiple AC power distribution networks and converts to DC voltage, the problem of increased power demand when aircraft are parked on the ground is solved, simplifying the airport power supply process and reducing the complexity and cost of ground logistics.

Abstract
The invention relates to an improved external power supply module for an aircraft, the power supply module (APSM) comprising at least an electrical connection to a first AC power distribution network (GPU1), an electrical connection to a second AC power distribution network (GPU2), a synchronization and connection module, and a power converter (C1), the power supply module (APSM) being external to the aircraft (AC). The power converter (C1) is configured to deliver a DC supply voltage (HVDC1) to said aircraft (AC), the DC supply voltage (HVDC1) being obtained from the first and second AC power distribution networks (GPU1, GPU2) by the synchronization and connection module. Advantageously, it is thus possible to supply electrical energy to a plane parked in an airport area without complex logistics and without using the auxiliary power unit of the plane.
