Abstract

IEEE Aircraft electrification requires novel designs to supply the growing demand for electric power on-board through efficient and reliable production and distribution of electrical energy. Moreover, the aircraft power system will be a key enabler for the integration of future technologies. Pledging to these intentions, we propose a formulation to synthesize a power system architecture that complies with safety specifications following a Platform Based Design methodology that optimizes the main aerospace drivers. Due to the non-linear nature of the design problem, this paper presents reliability based MILP network design formulations for topology synthesis. The novelty of this approach relies in the adoption of network design optimization for MEA power system construction that allows explicit design formulations as MILP problems. This approach will provide an effective way to include safety specifications by introducing reliability and resiliency constraints.
