Benefits of technology

The present invention improves the way loads are shed in the aircraft, which helps to maintain power supply to more devices.

Problems solved by technology

However, when some of the generators become unable to generate or their power generation capabilities are reduced due to failures, they cannot meet the demand, which may result in an overload.
At this point, when the generator stops with the assistance of a protective function, the main power supply of the aircraft is lost.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]The embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0044]An aircraft according to the present embodiment includes, as shown in FIG. 1, two engines 1 and 1, and generators 11 and 11 provided in the engines 1 and 1, respectively.

[0045]Each of the generators 11 and 11 generates AC power from part of the rotation of the engine 1 as a power source. The two generators 11 and 11 operate in parallel, forming one power supply 10.

[0046]The power generated by these generators 11 and 11 is supplied to a large number of devices (electrical loads) 3 constituting a device group, through the power supplying system 2. Note that only some of the large number of devices 3 are shown.

[0047]Each of the generators 11 and 11 has a power-generation capacity of W (under normal operation conditions). The generators 11 and 11 form the power supply 10 having a power-generation capacity of 2 W.

[0048]These generators 11 and 11 generate the power up to th...

Abstract

To properly execute load shedding in an aircraft to maintain power supply to more devices. A method of load shedding includes a failure detection step of detecting a failure in a generator, and a load-shedding step. The load-shedding step includes determination step, and execution step, respectively, the determination step in which the load shedding is determined to be needed if the state where a power consumption exceeds a power-generation capacity continues for a monitoring time, and the execution step in which the load shedding is executed step-by-step while advancing a priority given to a target device until the power consumption falls below the power-generation capacity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a method of load shedding to cut off a power supply to devices included in an aircraft, and a controller for executing the load shedding.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Each aircraft includes a plurality of generators for generating power from part of the rotation of an engine as a power source. During its flight, the power obtained from the generators is supplied to devices through a power supplying system.[0005]However, when some of the generators become unable to generate or their power generation capabilities are reduced due to failures, they cannot meet the demand, which may result in an overload. At this point, when the generator stops with the assistance of a protective function, the main power supply of the aircraft is lost. In order to avoid this, the aircraft has a load shedding (Load Shed) function of intentionally cutting off the power supply to the devices havin...
