A Power Conversion System (PCS) is a device that is connected between the battery system and the grid or load and is used to convert electrical energy in both directions. Charge and discharge capabilities, active and reactive power control capabilities, and off-line switching capabilities should all be present in this device.
An aeroplane may be flown with great precision and dependability thanks to a control system, which is a collection of mechanical and electronic technology. Cockpit controls, sensors, actuators (hydraulic, mechanical, or electrical), and computers make up a control system.
Electronic devices, power supplies, and other circuits requiring specified voltage and current levels other than the available raw supply energy frequently use converters. Any type of required voltage is supplied by the converters at the required magnitude.
Designs for distribution systems can be either radial, loop-based, or network-based. As you might anticipate, you may combine all three systems, and this is something that is regularly done. The least expensive to construct is the radial distribution system, which is frequently utilized in sparsely populated areas.
Converting electric current from a source to the proper voltage, current, and frequency to power the load is the primary purpose of a power supply. Either AC to DC or DC to DC is possible. As a result, power supplies are occasionally mistaken for electric power converters.
Maintaining desired performance and stabilising the power system in the wake of various disruptions, such as short circuits and loss of generation and/or load, are referred to as power system control.
The Global Aircraft Power Conversion system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
CorePower aircraft power conversion systems from Astronics set the industry standard for higher efficiency, cleaner power, and a reduction in total system weight.
The Astronics Regulated Power Conversion Unit (RPCU) performs the function of a traditional Transformer Rectifier Unit (TRU) leveraging solid state technology to provide dramatic improvements in performance.
The RPCU takes variable frequency 3-phase 115VAC input power (324Hz to 800Hz) and converts it to regulated 28VDC output. Astronics currently offers two RPCU options: 250 Amp output and 150 Amp output.
