Downsizing an electric actuator supplied with variable voltage using an interlaced high frequency boost converter for more electric aircrafts

The variable speed of 41generators in aircrafts implies voltage variations which lead to an over-dimensioning of actuators VSIs. The aim is to show that interlaced high frequency Boost-converters in cascade with the VSI, may lead to reduce the actuators global size without reducing their efficiency.
