Abstract

Most loads of electrical power systems on a more electric aircraft (MEA) are regulated power converters. These loads behave as constant power loads (CPLs) that can significantly affect system stability. The system will become unstable and will be unable to operate at the rated power. In this article, a novel adaptive stabilization of a permanent magnet synchronous generator-based dc electrical power system in MEA is presented using a nonlinear feedback approach via loop-cancellation technique with a simple equation of feedback gain, which can be calculated from the power level of the CPL. The equation can be derived from a polynomial curve fitting based on the proposed mathematical model derived using the dq method. The adaptive stabilization results are validated by a small-signal stability analysis using the linearization technique, a large-signal stability analysis using the phase plane analysis, an intensive time-domain simulation using MATLAB, and experimentation. The results indicate that the proposed adaptive stabilization technique can provide the considered aircraft power system always stable for all operating conditions within the rated power, and the dc bus voltage can adhere to the MIL-STD-704F standard.
