Abstract

The project is based on the design of an electric network embedded in a helicopter, that supplies the aircraft auxiliaries. It is powered by a turbine and hybridized with other electric sources in order to fulfil the demand of the auxiliaries and to limit the consumption on the main source. In this paper, the studied hybrid system is composed of the main source (the turbine and the alternator), a secondary source (batteries) and the auxiliaries load. The model of this system is based on the Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR). A Maximal Control Structure (MCS) is determined by inversion rules of the EMR model. Simulation results, obtained by Matlab Simulink™ software, are shown.
