Abstract

This paper addresses the power delivery strategy on an aircraft application consisting on seven isolated DC loads to be supplied from the AC grid. Distributed or centralized power processing is evaluated taking into account weight and efficiency. Additionally, the rectifier switching frequency has to be synchronized with an external frequency clock to minimize the interference of the converter harmonics with the loads.
