Abstract

This paper presents the modeling and control of an interleaved bidirectional DC–DC converter responsible for the interconnection of a battery pack to an aircraft turbo-electric propulsion system. Proposed model has been developed based on state-space averaging and small-signal linearization techniques. Design of current and voltage controllers established to perform the proposed battery management approach is described. Processor-in-the-loop simulations, implemented using microcontroller and Simulink, have been conducted for case studies analysis and validation of proposed strategy, where hybrid and fully electric aircraft operation modes have been evaluated.
