DC Current Redistributor for Electric Aircraft System

The More Electric Aircraft (MEA) concept focuses on the replacement of pneumatic and hydraulic actuators by electromechanical actuators and increases the electric power demand in the aircraft. This article aims to the study and the implementation of a Power Electronic Conditioner (PEC) to mitigate the unwanted effects found in the dc aircraft internal feeders. The PEC must deal with the current unbalance between the positive and negative poles of the dc bus to comply with the standards. A mathematical dynamic model and control of PEC were simulated in the software PSIM
