Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of a DC Distributed Power Architecture for an Airborne Application

This paper describes a design and analysis method for a DC distributed power architecture design in Airborne Application, utilizing simulation. Typically the used system components are commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) thus complicating the system level analysis and simulation. Within this paper, it is shown how these systems can be designed utilizing simulation results, based on behavioural models of dc/dc converters. Additionally, models for commercial EMI filters are developed. This enables system level simulations and important information from efficiency, transient response, failures and stability is obtained assisting the designer to reach an optimum power system solution with minimum time and effort. Complex systems in avionics require high reliability. Therefore, the system level simulation is an essential tool for reaching the feasible solution complying with all the requirements
