Definitions
- the present invention relates to electrical load systems, and more particularly to control of electric loads during a generator failure in a multi-generator system.
- Many electric power systems include two or more generators for redundancy and safety.
- helicopter electric power systems are typically designed so that loss of one generator will not jeopardize mission completion, e.g., essential mission equipment will not be de-energized.
- a pair of generators are provided to power various helicopter loads.
- a #1 generator has associated with it a #1 primary bus and a #1 monitor bus.
- a #2 generator is provided to power a #2 primary bus and a #2 monitor bus.
- Each bus is rated at 15 KVA, and each generator is rated at 45 KVA.
- the primary buses are typically used to power essential mission equipment, and the monitor buses provide power to auxiliary and peripheral equipment.
- the #1 monitor bus is automatically de-energized, and the #2 primary bus, #2 monitor bus and the #1 primary bus are powered from the #2 generator.
- the above described helicopter electric power system architecture is based upon the assumption that each of the generators is of a fixed capacity, and that all electric loads are energized. It also assumes that generator capacity cannot be monitored and that the total power consumption of individual loads cannot be monitored. Therefore, the generators are sized to provide power under worst-case conditions. Additionally, certain loads powered by a corresponding monitor bus may be unnecessarily de-energized upon loss of a primary generator.
- Objects of the invention include provision of an electric power system which, upon failure of a generator in a multi-generator system, sheds loads based on the power available from the remaining generators and the criticality of operating loads.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide an aircraft electric power system which determines the power available from a generator based on actual generator parameters.
- the present invention in response to the loss of a generator in an electrical power system, all operating electrical loads are automatically switched to a second generator, and the electric power system continues to provide power to all of the loads, the total power required to operate all operating loads is permitted to exceed the nominal rated capacity of the operating generator, and the winding temperature or other critical hotspot temperature of the operating generator is monitored to determine whether thermal stress limits will be exceeded. If the critical hotspot temperature approaches the thermal stress limit, certain electrical loads are disconnected via a pre-programmed load shed priority schedule, and thereafter loads are re-connected as other loads are de-energized or if the critical hotspot temperature decreases.
- the present invention provides a significant improvement over the prior art because generators can be loaded to the maximum safe capacity for their operating conditions.
- the continued operation of aircraft loads may allow the pilot to complete the mission while operating with a loss of a generator.
- the generators are not operated according to fixed capacity limits, but instead the capacity of a generator is determined with respect to specific operating parameters of the generator, such as the winding temperature of the generator or other generator critical hotspot temperature.
- loads are not automatically de-energized, but rather are only de- energized in response to the critical hotspot temperature in an operating generator approaching a thermal stress limit. Additionally, loads are de- energized according to a specific protocol to ensure that mission essential loads remain energized.
- the figure is a schematic block diagram of the electrical load system of the present invention.
- the electric load system of the present invention is particularly well suited for providing control of electrical loads during failure of one or more system generators.
- all loads remain energized by operating generators unless the temperature of a winding or other critical hotspot of an operating generator approaches a thermal stress limit, wherein loads are shed in accordance with a pre-programmed load priority schedule.
- Loads may be re-energized as other loads are de-energized or if the critical hotspot temperature decreases.
- a pair of electrical generators 10,11 provide power to aircraft electrical loads 15 via electrical load management centers (ELMC) 20.
- Each ELMC contains a remote terminal and a set of solid state power controllers (SSPC) .
- Each of the aircraft loads 15 has associated therewith an SSPC which is controlled by an ELMC.
- the ELMC receives input power from the generators 10,11 and digital commands on a data bus 22.
- the ELMC terminal section translates the digital commands from the data bus into discretes that turn on or off, or reset, the SSPCs.
- the amount of electrical load demand on the generators 10,11 is determined by the particular loads connected, in conjunction with the corresponding rated power usage of each load.
- a general purpose processor set contains one or more computers or microprocessors which are responsive to pilot generated commands, aircraft sensors and stored subroutines to instruct the ELMCs, via the data bus 22, to turn on or off individual loads.
- the GPPS 25 also monitors various generator parameters via an aircraft sensor interface (ASI) 30.
- ASI aircraft sensor interface
- the output power capability of electrical generators is limited by the internal build-up of heat from friction, hysteresis and eddy current losses in the magnetic materials, and losses due to voltage drops in windings or components.
- the various parts each have a temperature limit that must not be exceeded if early failure of the generator is to be avoided.
- the internal component whose temperature first reaches its limit in response to increasing load is referred to as the critical hotspot, and its location is determined by analysis during design of the generator and confirmed during a test program.
- the temperature of the critical hotspot is monitored by placing a heat sensor, e.g., thermistor, thermocouple, resistance temperature detector (RTD) , etc., at the critical hotspot location.
- a heat sensor e.g., thermistor, thermocouple, resistance temperature detector (RTD) , etc.
- the senor may be placed in another location whose temperature can be demonstrated to have a fixed relation to the critical hotspot temperature.
- the main stator windings were the critical hotspot because they carry the highest currents, and the cooling medium did not have intimate contact with the windings themselves.
- the rotating rectifiers are the first components to reach their temperature limits.
- the critical hotspot temperature readings are provided to the GPPS 25 via the ASI 30.
- the GPPS compares the temperature readings provided by the ASI to the thermal stress limits of the critical hotspot to ensure that the component is not operated above corresponding thermal stress limits. If, for example, the stator winding is the critical hotspot and the thermal stress limit of the winding insulation is exceeded, the insulation may begin to deteriorate. Repeated and/or prolonged occurrences of high temperature conditions within the windings would, if permitted, eventually cause the insulation to fail, resulting in a short circuit in the windings, thereby burning up the generator.
- the prior method of determining generator capacity was a function of environmental conditions, primarily the oil temperature (for oil sprayed cooled generators) , and oil rate of flow. Because the environment is unpredictable and difficult to monitor under the prior methods of power distribution, the generators were sized for the worst case temperature conditions and the sum total of all the mission and flight critical electrical loads that might be in use. Using the temperature sensors of the present invention in conjunction with the GPPS, the critical temperature is directly measured to ensure that thermal stress limits are not exceeded.
- the nominal installed capacity of a generator is the minimum power in KVA or amps that the generator is guaranteed to deliver under worst case conditions of ambient temperature, drive speed, coolant temperature, coolant flow rate, coolant internal distribution, internal tolerances such as winding resistances and air gaps, and power factor (for AC generators) . It is unlikely that all these factors will ever actually combine to produce the worst case conditions, so that generators in service can normally provide power in excess of nominal capacity.
- the present invention allows the safe use of this excess power to complete a mission or assist in return to base after a generator failure or component damage.
- the critical hotspot temperature e.g., winding temperature
- the critical hotspot temperature e.g., winding temperature
- certain electrical loads are disconnected via a preprogrammed load shed priority as determined through GPPS commands to the corresponding ELMC. Additional loads will be shed only if the winding temperature continues to approach the thermal stress limit.
- the GPPS is programmed to shed auxiliary and non-mission critical loads which will not affect the safety of the aircraft. These loads can be re-connected as other loads are de-energized through aircraft operational demand, or if the generator winding temperature decreases.
- the invention has been described thus far as shedding loads in response to a critical hotspot temperature exceeding a corresponding thermal stress limit.
- a temperature sensor placed in the critical hotspot provides an indication of the critical hotspot temperature to the GPPS 25 via the ASI 30.
- the GPPS compares the temperature to the thermal stress limit to determine if loads should be shed.
- the GPPS determines the rate of change of critical hotspot temperature. This may be accomplished, for example, by differentiating the temperature signal provided by a temperature sensor via the ASI . If the critical hotspot temperature is increasing at a rate greater than a threshold rate or maximum allowable rate, then loads are shed to thereby prevent the critical hotspot temperature from exceeding the corresponding thermal stress limit.
- This method of controlling generator load during a generator failure in a multi-generator system provides the significant advantage of anticipating when a generator will be overloaded based on the rate of change of critical hotspot temperature, and shedding loads before the critical hotspot temperature actually exceeds the corresponding thermal stress limit .
- the GPPS is responsive to either the critical hotspot temperature exceeding the corresponding thermal stress limit, or the rate of increase of critical hotspot temperature exceeding a maximum allowable rate for shedding loads. Therefore, if critical hotspot temperature is increasing at a rate below the maximum allowable rate, loads are shed once the critical hotspot temperature exceeds the corresponding thermal stress limit .
- the present invention is equally applicable to both AC and DC electrical load systems, what is important is that a temperature sensor is placed in the critical hotspot location, or another location whose temperature bears a fixed relationship to the critical hotspot temperature.
- load shedding may actually commence when the critical hotspot temperature exceeds a trip temperature which is below the thermal stress limit by a threshold value to thereby provide a safety margin.
- generators are provided with a nominal rated capacity which may be exceeded in accordance with the present invention provided that the critical hotspot temperature does not exceed a thermal stress limit or the rate of increase of critical hotspot temperature does not exceed a maximum allowable rate.
- the critical hotspot temperature does not exceed a thermal stress limit or the rate of increase of critical hotspot temperature does not exceed a maximum allowable rate.
- thermal stress limits will be exceeded.
- certain loads are shed rather than being transferred to an operating generator.
- the GPPS determines the total load based on the particular loads connected, in conjunction with the corresponding rated power usage of each connected load. If the total load exceeds a maximum allowable load, then loads are shed. The maximum allowable load is greater than the nominal rated capacity, and is the amount of load where it is clear that thermal stress limits will be exceeded.
- Loads may be automatically re-energized in accordance with the present invention when the critical hotspot temperature falls below a reset temperature which bears a fixed relationship to the thermal stress limit.
- loads may be permissively re-energized in response to pilot commands when the critical hotspot temperature falls below the reset temperature.
- the reset temperature is sufficiently below the trip temperature to prevent a load from cycling on and off.
- a load may always be re ⁇ energized in response to pilot commands. If the re- energization of a shed load will overload the operating generators, then a load of the next lowest priority is automatically shed. This allows the pilot to override the decision of the shed routine as to which loads should be de-energized during a generator overload.
