Abstract
This design paper proposes few improvements on the existing electrical network in the aircraft system. It also suggests improvement in the starter circuitry by introducing super capacitors to reduce the number of batteries onboard to ensure improved safety and reliability. It proposes higher frequency of power distribution owing to several benefits. There are several advantages of high frequency AC power distribution over conventional DC distribution and low frequency AC power distribution. This paper explores the idea of employing switched capacitor and switched inductor converters to design multi-level inverters for high frequency AC power supplies for power distribution.
