Description

Technical Objective 1: Develop a scalable and plug-and-play unified hybrid multi-scale, multi-resolution, and multi-domain modeling framework for component and system level representation of interactive aircraft power system comprising varied energy generation sources, EAUs, complex loads and load patterns, and power distribution and control system. Technical Objective 2: Develop advanced analysis methodologies for investigating evolving behavioral dynamics, stability, and reliability of a complex aircraft power system with changing operating conditions, changing component and system dynamics, and changing power-system network topology and connectivity. Such an analysis methodology based on advanced nonlinear techniques (for large-signal/large-perturbation conditions) as well as linear techniques for small-signal analysis will preclude the need for rapid, robust, and in-depth time and frequency system analyses without resorting to the conventional approach of computationally intensive large number of simulations which is often inadequate to capture nonlinear system effects. Technical Objective 3: Develop a software platform for capturing component and system models and for capturing algorithmic tools for robust component and system reliability and interaction analysis to demonstrate the efficacy of the tools developed under Objectives 1 and 2 and conduct comprehensive scenario centric case studies leading to pathway for optimal system and component designs.
