Abstract

This paper proposes a smart controller design for an automated power load allocation for the more electric aircraft application. As the aircraft manufacturers are moving towards more electrified solutions, power management and optimization are becoming more important design considerations. With the evolution of control techniques, and newly available intelligent tools and powerful hardware, it is now possible to find smart solutions to the distribution and load allocation problem. In this paper a mathematical solution is proposed to reconfigure the connected loads on each single bus based on the value of the available power and the level of priority of each load with the aim to optimize the allocation of the loads. Simulations performed within Simulink environment are used to verify the results.
