Project description
Intelligent power conditioning protects future aircraft from fluctuations and surges
‘Intelligent’ or ‘smart’ devices are virtually ubiquitous these days, sensing their environment and responding to it to enhance functionality or prevent loss of function. Intelligent power modules (IPM) are among the most recent developments in power engineering. They are ‘power conditioners,’ highly integrated solid-state power switches supported by self-protection functions to shield sensitive loads. They are designed to drive motors in many applications and will be important to Europe’s advanced, more electric aircraft. The EU-funded SPARTAN project is addressing this challenge by developing highly robust and reliable IPMs for the power conditioning of multiple electrical sources, to be integrated into the electrical power generation system of future aircraft.
