STARTER-GENERATOR SYSTEM FOR AUXILIARY POWER UNIT by A. V. Levin, S. P. Khalyutin, A. O. Davidov, B. V. Zhmurov, S. A. Kharitonov, M. A. Zharkov, A. S. Kharitonov

“…This approach makes it possible to significantly reduce the part of the electrical energy that needs to be converted, as a consequence, the semiconductor converter has significantly smaller mass-and-batch characteristics.In the article the modes of generation of electric energy and the starter mode of operation of the starter-generator system are considered in detail, the circuit realization of the semiconductor converter is shown. A scheme for replacing one phase of the system for generating electric energy and calculating electric parameters is presented.The possibility of creating a highly efficient starter-generator system based on a synchronous generator with excitation from permanent magnets and a semiconductor converter for an auxiliary power plant of aircrafts is shown. …”
