Power distribution architecture for distributing power to electromechanical actuators of an aircraft
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a power distribution architecture for an aircraft for powering aircraft electromechanical actuators, the architecture comprising at least one power distribution member for distributing power to such and such an electromechanical actuator connected to the architecture, the architecture receiving power from at least one power supply bus of the aircraft. According to the invention, a DC network of voltage that is variable in controlled manner is interposed between the power supply bus of the aircraft and the power distribution members.
1. A power distribution architecture for an aircraft, having at least one power supply bus, for powering a plurality of aircraft electromechanical actuators, the architecture comprising:
at least one DC network for supplying voltage that is variable in a controlled manner;
at least one power distribution member for distributing power to at least one of said plurality of electromechanical actuators connected to the architecture, the architecture receiving power from said at least one power supply bus of the aircraft,
wherein said at least one DC network is interposed between at least one power supply bus of the aircraft and the at least one power distribution member.
2. A power distribution architecture according to claim 1 , wherein the DC network includes branch connection means for taking off power coming from the actuators, and preventing said power from returning to the power supply bus of the aircraft.
3. A power distribution architecture according to claim 2 , wherein the branch connection means include means for storing the power as taken off in this way.
4. A power distribution architecture according to claim 1 , wherein the DC voltage network includes electrical isolation means isolating the power supply bus of the aircraft from the powered actuators.
