efficiency - and expecting trade-offs to maintain a simple,
speedy design process - power system developers can significantly
streamline the resources required for a full-custom
design. Building blocks developed as a family of options are
interchangeable, each operating within a window of performance
and creating a clear path for designers to scale up or
down as efficiency dictates. A key benefit here is flexibility,
with the same building blocks applicable to systems ranging
from a low-power, 100-Watt control unit to end-loads as
high as 6000 Watts.
Designers can further capitalize on modularity within the
end-unit itself. Power distribution design for a 4 kW or 6 kW
application can tap into a 2 kW converter, designed for more
than just one type of use. Such a system design could integrate
five 2 kW converters - separate but coordinated system
components - delivering a nominal 10 kW. Proven technology
is applied to meet customised power levels, while automatic
power routing simultaneously ensures system reliability,
even in the unlikely event of failure of any single converter.
Isolated performance has been a common theme in power
control system design used in aircraft applications. However,
built-in power redundancy is a basic tenet of all-electric aircraft
- lighter than " A Lane/B Lane " duplication strategies and
proving to be an optimized design path for electric aircraft
power.
Urban air mobility is imminent and already transforming
aviation as we know it. Its ability to transport people and supplies
can readily extend to meet the needs of the U.S. armed
forces - keeping troops out of harm's way, delivering equipment,
conducting search and rescue missions, and more. DC
power technologies unlock the value of electrified aircraft and
represent an important shift in the design of power systems
today - and tomorrow.
