Abstract

More-electric aircraft (MEA) has become a dominant trend for modern aircraft. On-board MEA, many functions, which are conventionally driven by pneumatic and hydraulic power, are replaced with electrical subsystems. Starting aircraft engines with an electric motor instead of using pneumatic power from the auxiliary power unit is one of the major characteristics of future aircraft. This paper presents the development of a novel electric starter-generator system for aircraft applications. This paper describes the main achievements of the AEGART (EU CleanSky Project) project in the key areas, including electric machines, power electronic converters, thermal management, and overall system control design. The developed prototype has been tested successfully, and the test results are presented in this paper.
