The civil aviation industry is moving toward the more electric aircraft (MEA) which is to use electrical power to meet the load demands on multiple aircraft subsystems which are conventionally driven by other power resources. Thus, there will be introduced a large amount of new electrical power demands which are safety-critical for aircraft’s flight and this may lead the challenge for a reliable and efficient power management problem (PMP): the balance between the aircraft power supply and demands while minimizing the operation costs. To cope with the PMP for civil aircraft under more electric environment, in this paper, we explicitly give a detailed and complete modeling of all power supply resources (fuel and battery) and safety-critical electrical loads and cast the PMP as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem; we develop a practical solution methodology for the application on the real civil MEA. The proposed formulation and solution algorithm can give an efficient power schedule result with the minimal fuel and battery operation cost through a smart codispatch between the gas turbine generator, storage devices, and all electrical loads of MEA. Numerical testing results based on one real civil aircraft case demonstrate the economic and operational effectiveness.

In this work, the dimensions of a furnace for melting of ferrous alloys were determined. The furnace has an electromagnetic induction heating system. In addition, the parameters of electrical power supply such as frequency and power were calculated. A 5kg cast steel mass with a density of 7.81 kg / dm3 was proposed. This corresponds to a crucible volume of 0.641 dm3. The frequency was obtained from tables, which take into account the diameter of the crucible, and its value was 1 KHz. The energy consumption was determined with the heat required to bring the steel to the temperature of 1740 K, the energy losses through the walls, bottom and top of the crucible. This value was divided between the heating time (30 minutes) and resulted in a power of 4.5 KW. The development of the calculations shows that the induction heating is an efficient process and allows a fast melting of ferrous alloys.
