Design of Aircraft Electrical Load Management Center

Abstract:

Aircraft Electrical Load Management Center, an important part of the aircraft power supply system, solves the automatic management of aircraft load via a multi-channel transmission bus and a solid-state power controller. Using micro-computer technology, instead of manual operation, for automatic control and management of the load has improved the existing method of distribution and load management, which has enhanced performance of aircraft and its maintenance of power system. This paper studies the overall structure and composition principle of ELMC and details ELMC’s functions of each component modules and the implementation of hardware and software. System test results show that the automatic load management techniques greatly improve the aircraft power system reliability and maintainability.
