    摘要: One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for operating a gas turbine engine. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for operating a gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine including at least a high pressure spool and a low pressure spool. The method includes causing, by one or more control devices, electrical power to be drawn from the high pressure spool and the low pressure spool into a power distribution system. The method includes determining, by the one or more control devices, a power adjustment event associated with the high pressure spool. The method includes initiating, by the one or more control devices, a power assist operation to redirect electrical power to the high pressure spool based at least in part on the power adjustment event.

    摘要: Systems and method for an electrical system on an aircraft are provided. In example embodiments, the electrical system can be for an aircraft having a turbine engine. The turbine engine having a high pressure (HP) spool and a low pressure (LP) spool. The HP spool can be configured to drive a first generator to provide a first electrical output. The LP spool can be configured to drive a second generator to provide a second electrical output. The first generator and the second generator can be coupled to an electrical power distribution bus that provides electrical power to a load. A hybrid electric propulsion system and a secondary aircraft systems bus can both be coupled to the electrical power distribution bus. The electrical system can further include a control system configured to allocate power among the first generator, the second generator, and the hybrid electric propulsion system, and the secondary aircraft systems bus.

    摘要: An aircraft starting and generating system includes a starter/generator and an inverter/converter/controller that is connected to the starter/generator and that generates AC power to drive the starter/generator in a start mode for starting a prime mover of the aircraft, and that converts AC power, obtained from the starter/generator after the prime mover have been started, to DC power in a generate mode of the starter/generator. A four leg inverter is coupled with the DC power output and has an inverter/converter/controller (ICC) with a four leg MOSFET-based bridge configuration that drives the starter/generator in a start mode for starting a prime mover of the aircraft, and converts DC power to AC power in a generate mode of the starter/generator. A four leg bridge gate driver is configured to drive the four leg MOSFET-based bridge using pulse width modulation (PWM) during start and generate mode.
