Multifunctional Aircraft Power Network with Electrical Switching

The topic contributes to develop advanced electrical distribution system architectures to be integrated in the Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator. Design, Development, Manufacturing and Validation of a “Multifunctional Aircraft Power Network with Electrical Switching” shall deliver a hardware and software system with an achieved Technology Readiness Level of 4. The development includes the control of a data network and switching on the power buses controlled by the Bus Controller Unit (BCU). The scope of the project includes the BCU, Solid State Bus Tie Contactor (SSBTC), loads with representative impedances and integrated bus controlled switching, as well as the performance of these when integrated with the Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD) bus.
