Abstract :
The More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) requires thorough testing procedures to meet extreme security requirements. Real-time simulation technologies have been traditionally part of this validation and testing process for conventional aircraft designs. The MEA concept is now pushing HIL technologies toward aircraft electric system real-time simulation. This paper discusses the real-time simulation requirements for MEA, analyses an aircraft electrical power system, identifies real-time modeling bottlenecks and validation needs. The case of Bombardier Global Express aircraft is used for this purpose.
