Study of the 36-Pulse Rectifier in the Aspect of Using it in the On-Board Energo-Electronic Power System of Aircraft in Line with the Concept of More Electric Aircraft

The subject of the paper is to present an analysis, a mathematical model and simulation of a 36-pulse energo-electronic rectifier in terms of AC/DC electrical energy conversion, in line with the trend of a more electric aircraft. The key purpose of the paper is to develop a rectifier model in the context of adapting it to use in an on-board autonomous power supply system in the field of PES system of a modern aircraft, compatible with the concept of a more electric aircraft. The developed 36-pulse rectifier model was analyzed, confirming with simulation tests, using technical solutions of rectifiers, used both for civilian aircrafts (Airbus, Boeing) and their hit products (A-380 and A-350XWB, B-787), as well as modeling on technical solutions in the field of military aviation of the group (Lockheed Martin) in the field of JSF F-35 and F-22 Raptor aircrafts. In the final part of the work, based on the analysis, mathematical model and simulations accomplished in the Matlab/Simulink programming environment, the final practical conclusions were drawn.
