Abstract

A zonal dc electrical distribution system topology is presented for on-board applications. The system is based on using high speed permanent magnet synchronous generators driven by gas turbines as prime movers and DC distribution with local conversion at the load points. Proposed permanent magnet generator design and construction, system topology and evaluation are given. A scaled down experimental test set up is described in this paper.
