METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SUPPLY OF POWER TO A POWER SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

A method for controlling the supply of power to a power system for an aircraft having a plurality of power-consuming components includes supplying power to the power system with a generator having a power output, determining a power requirement of the power system, and supplying the power to the power-consuming components.

1. A method of controlling the supply of power to a power system for an aircraft having a plurality of power-consuming components, some of which have transient power requirements, resulting in the power system having a transient-state power requirement and a non-transient power requirement, the method comprising:
supplying power to the power system with a generator having a predetermined power output incapable of providing sufficient power for the transient-state power requirement; determining a transient power requirement of the power system; comparing the determined transient power requirement to a predetermined power output; determining the transient power requirement exceeds the predetermined power output; and supplying additional power to the power system from a non-battery power source in response to the determination that the transient power requirement exceeds the predetermined power output.
