The background to the invention

In modern aircraft are increasingly using various sources of energy to remove the load from the engine-generators of the aircraft, thereby reducing the consumption of kerosene. For example, this can be used alternative sources of energy, such as solar cells, fuel cells or batteries.

Another approach in modern aircraft is to use a product or additional products energy sources, for example, the waste heat to a more efficient use of energy system and system resources of the aircraft.

Summary of the invention

The present invention is to increase the efficiency of the hybrid system to power production.

This task is solved through the use of the adjusting device power (or device energy adjustment) for the regulation of hybrid energy sources for an aircraft, due to a power system for an aircraft, by way of regulation of hybrid energy sources for an aircraft, through the use of the device adjust the power and expense of the aircraft, which contains the device power adjustment, with characteristics in accordance with the present invention.

In accordance with an exemplary variant of the present invention a device power control (or adjustable unit of energy), intended for the regulation of hybrid energy sources for an aircraft. The device power control performed by measuring the needs of the consumer in the required tools. Moreover, the device power control is configured to determine the first operating characteristics of the first power source and second operating characteristics of the second energy source. Using the first energy source can be generated (produced) the first share requirements required tools, and using the second energy source may be generated by the second fraction needs required tools. The device power control additionally adjusts the first power source and second power source so that, depending on the first working characteristics and from the second operating characteristics, the first share needs and the second fraction needs required tools can be served to the consumer.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention proposes a power system for an aircraft. The grid contains the above-described device power adjustment, at least one user, the first energy source from the first operating characteristic and the second energy source from the second operating characteristic. The device power control is made so that it can be measured need of the user in the required tools. The device power control is made so that it can be defined the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic. Using the first energy source and using the second source of energy can be developed accordingly, the first share of the needs and the second share needs of the required funds. Device power control regulates the first source of energy and the second source of energy in such a way that, depending on the first working characteristics and from the second working characteristics, first, the share of the needs and the second share needs of the required funds can be submitted to the consumer.

According to another aspect of the present invention is proposed a method of regulation of hybrid energy source for the aircraft. The need of the consumer in the required tools measured by the device power control. Use the device to adjust the power to determine the first operating characteristics of the first energy source and a second operating characteristics of the second source of energy. First share of the needs of the required funds is produced with the help of the first energy source, and a second share needs of the required funds is produced with the help of the second source of energy. Use the device to adjust the power of the first energy source and a second source of energy is adjusted so that, depending on the first working characteristics and from the second working characteristics, first, the share of the needs and the second share needs of the required funds reach the consumer.

The above device power control use in aircraft.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention proposes an aircraft as described here above device power control.

The term "required funds" means funds that are required by the consumer and which can be produced using an energy source. In the proposed system, the energy source can generate share of requirements tools required, and the total demand within the required tools can contain the sum of all shares needs. The share needs may, for example, to satisfy the entire demand of the required tools, or can only satisfy part of the demand.

The term "operating characteristic" energy source refers to the General characteristics of the energy source. The term "operating characteristic" energy source may, for example, be determined by the ratio of doctow (selected substances applied starting compounds to products or tools required. The operating characteristic is determined, for example, the number of submitted doctow and the number of output products, for example, the amount of electric power, thermal energy or other products, for example, obtained from the fuel. Moreover, the environmental conditions, such as pressure, temperature or atmospheric moisture can affect operating characteristics. Using the working characteristics can also determine the effectiveness (efficiency) of the device or energy source. Higher efficiency can be achieved at the working point, in which from a given amount of doctow receive the largest number of desirable products, such as electricity.

Through the use of the device adjust the power for the regulation of hybrid energy source different types of energy sources can be combined to provide enhanced interaction relating to electrical efficiency or associated with additional products individual energy sources. This can be implemented using the device power adjustment, which can determine the performance of individual energy sources, and their account may request the funds from this source of energy that provides the highest efficiency under given boundary conditions. Thus, it is possible to provide the system user with different types of required tools that are delivered with the help of energy sources. In this design, taking into account the efficiency of generating systems or sources of energy at the specific moment of time under certain conditions. For example, an electric alternating current system can be powered by an alternating current, and electric energy can, for example, produced from the mechanical power of the engine of the aircraft with the generator when the specified aircraft engine has the highest temporary electrical efficiency. Thus, the device power control coordinates and controls both the production and distribution of the required funds, taking into account the performance or efficiency of all energy sources or generating systems.

In accordance with another exemplary variant of the present invention, the device power adjustment is made so that, depending on the phase of flight, can be defined the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic. The device power control determines, for example, with regard to airplane mode and operating characteristics of the engine (power plant) as an energy source provides the best efficiency in flight than on the ground. Thus, when the aircraft is on the ground, the device power control will not request any required funds from the power plant, because on earth it uses more doctow, i.e. consumption of doctow is higher. Therefore, the adjusting device power receives its required funds from some other energy source that, on earth, under the circumstances, has the best performance or the best efficiency. Due to this, may improve the efficiency of the power system.

In accordance with another exemplary variant of the present invention, the device power adjustment is made so that it can be measured in need of the required means of additional consumers. The device power control adjusts the first power source and second power source so that, depending on the first working characteristics and from the second operating characteristics, the first share needs and the second fraction needs required tools can be brought more to the consumer. This allows the device to adjust the power to apply appropriate tools required to many more consumers, where the device power control adjusts the first power source and second power source specified.

In accordance with another exemplary variant of the present invention, the device power adjustment is made so that in each case, the priority may be assigned to the user and the additional user. Moreover, the device power adjustment is made so that, depending on the priority, for example, in case of lack of available the required funds required funds can be submitted first to the consumer, and then an additional consumer. For example, the priority can be assigned with consideration of various factors such as flight safety or comfort of the passenger, or it can be associated with a particular phase of flight. For example, if some customers ask for water as required funds, when there is no water in sufficient quantities, then produced using energy source water can be first submitted to the user that assigned a higher priority, and not the consumer with a lower priority. For example, it may be more important to supply water for flushing the toilet, and not for washing hands.

In accordance with another exemplary variant of the present invention, the priority can also be assigned taking into account the safety of the flight. For example, the factors of safety of flight can make in the first place to consider those consumers that are important for flight modes of the aircraft, while, for example, consumers that contribute to passenger comfort, can have a lower priority. During normal flight conditions the energy source delivers the required tools, such as electricity, each consumer who needs electricity. In an emergency or when a partial loss (reduction) power source energy consumer with the highest priority first supplied the required means, in this case electricity. If the energy source can produce additional quantities of resources needed, in this case electricity, then it serves consumers with the following priority levels. Moreover, the device power control can also set priorities for the various resources needed or desired tools and additional resources needed. Moreover, the device power control can also set priorities for individual products, and in other words, for the required tools and additional required capital of the first energy source and the second source of energy. For example, the fuel cell as a power source can produce electricity, heat energy, water and exhaust air with low oxygen content as required funds. Depending on the assigned consumers priority device power control can apply these means required to consumers. Due to this, you can ensure that the safety important equipment or consumers.

According to another approximate variant of the present invention device power control executed so that by means of adjustment of Adukov from one of the first sources of energy and other energy sources can be specified first, the share of the needs and the second share needs of the required funds. When using adjustment doctow energy source, for example, by adjusting the oxygen supply and delivery of hydrogen in the fuel cell, can be regulated products, such as power generation, water or exhaust air with low oxygen content.

In accordance with another exemplary variant of the present invention the means required to choose from a group that includes electricity and additional products. In turn, additional products can be selected from the group comprising water, heat and exhaust air with low oxygen content. For example, the device power control can regulate the energy source that it produced thermal energy, and can apply it to the customer who needs that heat energy.

According to another approximate variant of the present invention at least one first source of energy or a second source of energy is the fuel cell system.

According to another approximate variant of the present invention, at least one of the first energy source or second source of energy is a generator of the power plant.

According to another approximate variant of the present invention at least one first source of energy or a second energy source is selected from the group, which includes the battery, DC electric motors, electric alternators, batteries and solar cells.

In accordance with another exemplary variant of the present invention at least the first user and the additional user selected from the group comprising electrical system DC electrical system AC, water users, system creating inert atmosphere and wing anti-ice system.

Exemplary embodiments of the device power control also applies to the adjustment method and to the grid, as well as to the aircraft and to use the device, power adjustment, and Vice versa.

In accordance with the first aspect of the present invention a device power control for hybrid power generation system, the energy source which contains, for example, the generators of the power plant, batteries, and/or fuel cell system. Due to this, the interaction of individual energy sources, such as generators of the power plant, batteries and fuel cell systems can be improved and optimized in terms of electricity generation. Similarly, additional products, for example, the exhaust air with low oxygen or water obtained in this process may be served to consumers. Considering performance, the device power control may, for example, feeding the exhaust air with low oxygen content from energy sources such as fuel cells, thereby providing an inert environment in the fuel tank or the cargo compartment, which are the consumers. Moreover, the adjusting device power may, for example, to regulate as a secondary product of thermal energy from the energy source, which results, for example, the supply of heat to the anti-icing system of the wing.

Based on the working characteristics of the sources of energy device power control may improve communication and efficiency of these energy sources. For example, on the basis of the established requirements of consumers adjusting device power can be adjusted so that the energy source will create the required resources in the most effective and most cost-effective relative to the consumption of kerosene. For example, if the aircraft is on the ground, the power plant generates electricity less efficiently than, for example, a fuel cell, for the reason that the power plant is primarily intended to generate thrust in flight, and not for electricity generation. The device power control receives information about the location on the earth at the expense of the working characteristics and will receive power from the fuel cell system, since the efficiency or performance of a fuel cell is better than that of the power plant. In other words, it reduces the consumption of doctow, for example, the fuel, so that the energy efficiency of the whole system improves. Moreover, by assigning priorities to individual consumers or the required funds, the use of the required funds can be controlled so as to ensure energy supply in a system with the highest priority.

Taking into consideration operational characteristics of a hybrid power generation system or the energy source, the device power control may lead to better regulation from the point of view of energy consumption. Moreover, the device power control can supply to consumers of all by-products or secondary products energy source. For example, in the case when the energy source is the fuel cell system, you can use all arising by-products or secondary products, such as thermal energy, water and exhaust air with low oxygen content and submit them to consumers. Consumers can be serviced in accordance with the assigned priorities, thus, for example, to consider aspects of safety in the operation of an aircraft on the ground and in flight. Moreover, depending on the phase of flight device power control may include energy sources, or may control or regulate their educti. For example, in the vicinity of airports, where it is necessary to reduce pollutant emissions and noise levels of the power plant, can be used to create fewer pollutants and lower levels of noise sources of energy.

These and other characteristics of the invention will be more clear from the subsequent detailed description of the model variants, are sketchy accompanying the drawings, in which similar components have the same positional notation.

Moreover, unit 1 power adjustment made so that can be defined first working characteristics of the first 3 source of energy and the second working characteristics of the second source 4 energy. Using the first energy source 3 and by means of the second energy source 4 can be produced first, the share needs and the second fraction needs required tools. With this construction of the adjustment device 1 controls the first power source 3 energy and the second energy source 4 in such a way that, depending on the first working characteristics and from the second operating characteristics, the first share needs and the second fraction needs required tools can be served to the consumer 2.

Device 1 adjust the power may, for example, by means of sensors or other means of data to measure the required funds (requirements) of consumers 2. Consumers 2 can be, for example, system 11 the creation of inert atmosphere, system 8 DC system 8 AC, de-icing system 12-wing or water system 10. Electrical system 8 requires, for example, the availability of electrical power P sys as the required funds. Water system 10 requires, for example, presence of a mass of water consumption, m w , while the system for creation of inert atmosphere requires exhaust air with low oxygen content, having given temperature T inert and specified mass flow rate m inert with a given oxygen content X O2,inert . Moreover, the anti-icing system 12 can obtain the mass flow (mass flow) m WAI with a given temperature T WAI and with a given pressure P WAI . On the other hand, the device can adjust the power to define and measure the working characteristics of the first source 3 energy and the second energy source 4.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in figure 1, the first energy source is, for example, the fuel cell system and the second energy source 4 is a motor-generators. The device power control may, for example, to determine the operating characteristics of the first and second sources 3, 4 energy due to the measurement data associated with the intensity (power) flow or density of the electric current, or for the account specified by the manufacturer data. For example, the device 1 can adjust the power to measure, for a fuel cell, the efficiency η fc , the output power P fc,d and mass flow m fc products of the fuel cell, for example, water or exhaust air with low oxygen content. As for engines, the adjusting device power knows, for example, the maximum electric power P tw,max , and electrical efficiency η tw of the engine, which can be calculated under the given environmental conditions, for example, at atmospheric pressure. Depending on the required funds consumers 2 and from the performance of the first and second sources 3, 4 power device power control can control or regulate the first and second sources of 3.4 energy so that each source of 3.4 energy creates the first and second share requirements tools required in order adequately to provide consumers with 2.

Moreover, the device power control can adjust the proportion of the needs of the required funds through appropriate Adukov sources 3, 4 energy. For example, a device 1 capacity adjustment may submit a specified number of Adukov in the fuel cell system, in order to obtain the necessary products or required funds. Device 1 adjust the power may, for example, due to the change of the excess air O2 or relationship entered oxygen reacted to the oxygen to regulate the composition of the additional products. Moreover, relevant operational characteristics of the fuel element 6 can be entered in the device 1 adjust the power. On the basis of a performance unit 1 power control determines the temperature T fc , the value λ O2 and energy intensity P fc , in which the fuel cell can produce a specific quantity of a product or specific share requirements tools required.

Similarly, the device 1 can adjust the power to measure operating characteristics of the generator of the power plant. Thus, depending on the thrust of the power plant, environmental parameters, such as altitude, ambient temperature and useful shaft power used for generating electric power, the device power control may determine the electrical efficiency η tw power plant. By adjusting used power on the shaft of the device 1 adjust the power may, for example, to regulate electric power P tw,max produced by the power plant.

Moreover, taking into consideration operational characteristics of the first and second sources 3, 4 energy, adjusting device power may submit the required funds to the consumer 2 with higher efficiency. Based on the fact that the device 1 adjust the power of the known performance characteristics of the sources 3, 4 power to generate the required funds or share needs may be selected these sources 3, 4 energy, or the share can be increased, allowing the circumstances to achieve the highest efficiency η. Due to this, it creates a mixture of the first and second lobes of the needs of the first and second sources 3, 4 energy, while the sources 3, 4 energy allow under the circumstances most effectively to generate the required funds.

If, for example, a given amount of thermal energy required for anti-icing systems wing 12, the adjusting device power can select a specific portion of thermal energy from a fuel cell or can select a specific percentage of demand in the form of bleed air from power plants and supply to the anti-icing system 11 of the wing.

Figure 2 shows a sample interaction systems 2 individual consumers, which can be subdivided into blocks I-IV. The device 1 capacity control can be located at the interface between the individual needs of the consumers 2, the priorities of the individual required funds and sources 3, 4 electricity. For example, if, as shown in figure 2, source 2 energy is a fuel cell, then the device 1 power control regulates the use of the products of the fuel cell or the required funds, such as electricity, thermal energy, water and exhaust air with low oxygen content, which can be called with an inert gas. Individual use of the required funds, or supply the required funds to specific consumer 2 can be carried out in accordance with the priorities. For example, the products or the means required of the fuel cell can be subdivided and allocated in accordance with priorities assigned to the consumer 2.

In addition, the device 1 capacity adjustment takes into account the operational characteristics of the sources 3, 4 energy and interactions between eductae and food sources 3, 4 energy. Figure 2 shows, for example, 4 units I-IV, associated with the use of products or the required funds of the fuel cell. First of all, in block I, for example, can be ensured by the regulation of energy. With a device 1 power adjustment, taking into account relevant operational characteristics, can be optimally adjusted generators, AC and DC generators, such as fuel cells. For example, a device 1 capacity adjustment may first to measure the demand for electric power P elek . At the same time, the device power control determines the available electrical power P tw,max , for example, generator power plant and electrical efficiency or performance curves n tw generator power plant. With these settings, the device power control determines the level of the electric power P tw , which can still provide a power generator in order to cover the need in the required tools, and in this case the need for electric power. Accordingly, the device 1 power control determines the electrical efficiency η fc and electric power P fc,d of fuel cell systems. Taking into account the proportion of demand electrical power from the power unit and the fuel cell device 1 capacity control can then satisfy the demand of consumers 2.

In block III, for example, can be carried out regulation of anti-icing system 12 (WAIS) aircraft. Device 1 adjust the power may, for example, to measure the required funds for anti-icing system 12 wing, for example, the mass flow rate m WAI , temperature WAI T and pressure p WAI coolant with anti-icing system 12 of the wing. In accordance with this requirement in the required means of the device 1, the power adjustment may, for example, to take the hot air out of the fuel cell system or bleed the air from power plants, depending on which source 3, 4 energy, taking into account its operating characteristics will provide the best efficiency.

Unit IV carry out the filling of the water tank. Unit 1 power adjustment know practically all the volumes tanks for water systems of the aircraft, so it can, due to the measurement of water consumption and the level of such water tanks at the departure, to determine the required tools in the form of water. Thus, device 1 adjust the power may, for example, to supply water, which is the product of the fuel element from the fuel cell system of the water system 10.

Units I-IV of may, for example, to be served consecutively with a device 1 power adjustment, so that the needs of systems of consumers with higher priority are satisfied first.

Figure 3 shows the approximate variant of the indicative list of priorities. The list of priorities can be activated in an emergency, when the source of 3, 4 energy, for example, fuel cell, is no longer available to 100%, which can be ensured supply of sufficient funds required to individual consumers. Figure 3 shows, for example, the needs and priorities of consumers 2 source 3, 4 energy, and in this case, the electrical system, WAI system, creating inert atmosphere and water systems fuel cells, depending on the phase of flight. For example, can be the following phases of flight: taxi from the Parking lot, takeoff, climb, flight in cruise mode, descent, approach and landing and taxiing to the Parking lot.

For example, flight safety assigns the highest priority. Flight safety, for example, is characterized by the provision of the supply of electric power to the flight control system, and therefore, the required funds in the form of electrical power (P elek ) electrical systems have the highest priority level. During the climb and reduce flight safety may deteriorate due to the danger of icing of the front edges of the wings. Therefore, in this case the supply of heat energy (P therm ) in the WAI system assigns the highest priority. If WAI system is not used, it has priority and therefore appears last in the list of priorities.

The required funds in the form of extract air with low oxygen content (m inert ) system 11 the creation of inert atmosphere are the third level of priority, as they ranked below the specified means of ensuring flight safety. During the phase of flight, which WAI system is not used, that is when she has the lowest priority level, the exhaust air with low oxygen content for the system 11 the creation of inert atmosphere is second in the list of priorities.

The functional readiness of the water system 10 is not important for the overall security of the flight. This system is used only for passenger comfort and to provide services to passengers. Therefore, the required funds in the form of water (m water ) assign the lowest rank of operating consumers in the list of priorities.

Figure 4 shows an exemplary logic diagram of the switching device 1 power control in the context of system 11 creating inert atmosphere. Based on the data (evidence) about the concentration of oxygen in the spaces where there is a danger of fire, the control device first makes a decision about the necessity of creating inert atmosphere. If you want to create an inert atmosphere, the device 1 capacity control first determines that the mass flow rate m fc,out of the air fuel cell exceeds the required mass flow rate of air to the space in which to create an inert atmosphere. If the fuel cell system allows to provide the desired mass flow rate m of inert air, then in the next operation check that the desired content X O2 oxygen in the exhaust air of the fuel cell is low enough to create an inert atmosphere. If the concentration X O2 oxygen is low enough for creating inert atmosphere, then the device 1 capacity control gives the mass flow rate m inrt air at temperature T inert in the system creating inert atmosphere.

If the device 1 capacity control detects the failure of the mass flow m fc,out of the air from the fuel cell system, then you should increase the power output of the fuel cell. As indicated in aviation safety regulations, for example, in the document JAA25.1309 system creating inert atmosphere can be disabled for a period of time less than 7% of the duration of the flight, to avoid the danger of violation of the inert atmosphere in the fuel tanks. In other words, the oxygen content in the fuel tanks must not exceed a specified amount. If the time off exceeds 7%, mass flow rate m fc out of the air, the content X fc,O2 oxygen and, consequently, output power P fc can be increased. Unit 1 power control can adjust, for example, by adjusting the value of X O2 . Downstream from the condenser for the Department of condensation water and after specifying the temperature of exhaust air from the fuel cell, the consumer 2 inert atmosphere can be fitted with an inert gas or air with low oxygen content. The accumulated condensation water may be filed, for example, the water system.

Figure 5 shows an example of a flexible definition of the working characteristics of the source, 3, 4 energy using devices 1 adjust the power. For example, can be used a fuel cell system. On the basis of a specific set of data associated with the fuel element, in advance can be defined different numbers of Adukov the fuel cell system. For example, can be pre-determined operating characteristic of the fuel cell system, for example, a preferred value of λ O2 , and in this example, λ O2 =2. This means, for example, that in accordance with the obtained value of λ serves twice the amount of oxygen, which then enters the electrochemical reaction.

The device 1 capacity control selects the net power output as a variable of regulation, and the variable throttling get needs or share requirements required tools. Thus, the net power output of the system is a desirable value, which can provide a fuel cell or the source 3, 4 energy. To set value of the output power P Soll add additional output loss P Ver arising, for example, through the use of compressors 13 or other additional devices. Full output power P Ges , which can be obtained in this way is used for device 1 adjust the power as a desirable value.

Regulation of output power to get the set value output power P Soll , produce, for example, in the form of algebraic loop. Algebraic loop is a signal loop that contains entries with straight through supply. If the input signal algebraic loop again directly (right) affects the input signal, it is called a straight-through flow, as shown in figure 5. As the initial values for the algebraic form a loop private (ratio) values of P Ges and voltage U element of the system of fuel elements. This is the initial value allows to determine the current density for the specified voltage of the fuel cell. New density current in various operating points of the characteristics of the U/I of the fuel cell, while the new calculated voltage of the fuel cell allows to obtain a new loop. Algebraic loop allows you to set an appropriate operating point on the characteristic U/I of the fuel cell for the desired power output of the system. Thus, the device 1 capacity control allows permanent to determine the operating characteristics or operating point source 3, 4, of energy, and in this example, the fuel element.

The device 1 power adjustment controls the flow of the educt sources 3, 4 energy. In the case of a fuel cell compressor 13 is a defining component in terms of dynamics or the variability of the power output of the fuel cell, because this way you can adjust the value of λ O2 for optimal and efficient operation of the fuel cell. The value of λ O2 directly correlated with the mass flow from the compressor. Thus, the voltage of the drive motor of the compressor can be selected as the output signal u(t) controller.
