Design of the Power Management System for Electrical Power Systems in More Electric Engine / Aircraft

This paper addresses the concept of designing and implementing the power management system (PMS) for electrical power system (EPS) of more electric engine/aircraft (MEE/MEA). An optimization model for the PMS in MEE/MEA is formulated. Various PMS solutions are required to meet different performance expectations. In order to have least possible electrical network losses, two types of PMS solutions are proposed, i.e., to optimize the generator efficiency and to optimize the EPS level efficiency, as single objective optimization problem (SOOP) and multiple objective optimization problem (MOOP), respectively. The SOOP is solved as a mixed integer programming problem while the MOOP is solved with a modified non-dominated genetic algorithm. The proposed PMS algorithm is implemented in the MEE/MEA simulation model and results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
