AI Technical Summary
Existing turbine generator technology is difficult to adapt to different propulsion functions and operating modes of aircraft, and the voltage output directly depends on the rotational speed and power, resulting in insufficient system robustness.
It adopts a multiphase permanent magnet generator and a gas turbine installed concentrically, combined with a starter/generator and management unit, and realizes voltage conversion and fault tolerance through a bidirectional converter. Monitoring elements detect winding faults, and an integrated battery or supercapacitor power supply unit is used.
It improves the efficiency and power density of the power generation system, ensures stable system operation in the event of a fault, reduces surge margin, and optimizes turbine size.
