This activity is focused on more electric and all electric type power systems for air vehicles. The scope of which includes source, distribution and user contributions to electrical power quality, failure modes, coordination, system reliabilty and robustness, impacts of being flight critical and the gaps which exist in present standards and guidance documents.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report is intended to provide advanced methods for wire selecting and sizing in aerospace application as a continuation of AIR6540, Fundamentals in Wire Selection and Sizing for Aerospace Applications. Also, it will provide valuable information for the electrical design engineer to verify the proper wire selection and validate a set of system design requirements which includes meeting environmental and installation constraints.

EPS stability is an essential property that defines EPS ability to provide secure operation under required range of operation scenario. Power system stability is defined as “the ability of an electric power system, for a given initial operating condition, to regain a state of operating equilibrium after being subjected to a physical disturbance, with most system variables bounded so that practically the entire system remains intact”. This is applicable for AC and DC systems and has to address steady state conditions, transient conditions as well as high power loads connection / disconnection on the network.

The standard delineates the characteristics of electric power supplied to airborne equipment at the equipment terminals and the requirements for the utilization of such electric power by the airborne equipment.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) considers the issue of power regeneration into the EPS of an aircraft. A series of options for dealing with this regenerative power are considered and arranged in categories. Advantages and disadvantages of each solution, including the existing solution, are included. Validated simulation results from representative Electrical Power systems are presented in order to demonstrate how some of the solutions may operate in practice and how power quality can be maintained during regeneration. The impact on changes to the electrical generation system are also highlighted in this AIR, as these changes may have an impact on the solution deployed and the wider impact on the design of engines and auxiliaries. This AIR reviews concepts and excludes detailed discussions on power system design. These concepts relate to the More Electric Aircraft, cover both AC and DC systems and can be applied to both normal operating conditions or as fault mitigation.

This document addresses recommendations for power conversion between electrical buses with noise and/or voltage disparities. These recommendations include isolation, grounding and bonding, filtering and other such practices, and power converter topologies for common applications.

In this report, "Cryogenically Fueled Dynamic Power Systems" include all open cycle, chemically fueled, dynamic engine power systems which utilize cryogenic fuels and oxidizers. For nearly all practical present day systems, this category is limited to cryogenic hydrogen or hydrogen-oxygen fueled cycles with potential in future, more advanced systems for replacement of oxygen by fluorine. Excluded from the category are static cryogenic systems (e.g., fuel cells) and chemical dynamic power systems which utilize earth storable propellants.
