Methodology for determining the reactive parameters of aviation electrical energy consumers based on voltage and current data in transients

Modern trends in the aircraft development are associated with a significant increase in the level of its electrification. The emergence of new types of electricity consumers entails an increase in the power and number of consumers in the aircraft power supply system. At this stage of operation, direct control of the internal parameters (in particular, the parameters of reactive elements) of electricity consumers in the aircraft power supply system is not carried out. The aviation equipment control system is built taking into account the built-in system for monitoring the technical condition of the object. However, for greater efficiency, the built-in control can be supplemented with control capabilities through digital intelligent power distribution systems (local load control center). During the operation of aviation electrical equipment, the values of its parameters change relative to the nominal values. Deviations of equipment parameters from the nominal values should not exceed the specified values, which are determined by the operational technical documentation. Input impedances of secondary power supply sources can be investigated in a mode characterized by transient processes in the investigated component of aircraft equipment. Based on the experimental data of voltage and input current at the stage of transients in equivalent circuits of secondary power supplies, it is proposed to determine the values of the parameters of reactive elements. Changing the values of reactive elements gives information about the technical condition of the input stages of electrical energy receivers. This makes it possible to monitor the process of degradation of their properties or to diagnose a failure in the event of an abrupt change in reactive parameters. This method is proposed to be used for diagnosing electrical equipment during its operation on board the aircraft. This work is devoted to the development of methods for determining the parameters of secondary power sources of aircraft electrical equipment, characterizing its reactive properties.
