The constant growth of air traffic, the demand for performance optimization, and the need for
decreasing both operating and maintenance costs have encouraged the aircraft industry to …

This paper presents an overview of technology related to on-board microgrids for the more
electric aircraft. All aircraft use an isolated system, where security of supply and power …

In recent decades, extensive research has been conducted on the electrification of
commercial aircraft to reduce the dependence on mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic …

In an electrical machine design, thermal management plays a key role in improving the
performance and reducing size. End-windings are commonly identified as the machine hot …

The More Electric Aircraft (MEA) initiative aims to increase the penetration of electrical
systems in aircraft to decrease weight and further develop overall efficiency and reliability …

High slew rate of the line voltage (dv/dt) has been a concern for power inverters based on
the emerging wide bandgap switching devices, such as silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETS …

Compared to the traditional aircraft, electrification of power system in aircraft has potential to
revolutionise the aviation industry. Typically, more‐electric aircraft (MEA), even all‐electric …

In the more electric aircraft context, dc distribution systems have a time-varying structure due
to the flexible distributed loads and complex operation conditions. This feature poses …

In the framework of the more electric aircraft, the use of isolated dc–dc power conversion for
the electrical power distribution system is one of the most investigated solutions. If the dc–dc …

For safety‐critical applications, electrical machines need to satisfy several constraints, in
order to be considered fault tolerant. In fact, if specific design choices and appropriate …
