V-22 Automated Electrical Load Management System

An automated electrical load management system to provide load shedding during periods of high demand is required for adaptation to the V-22 Tilt-Rotor aircraft. A low cost and flexible system is required in order to extend current mission capabilities without significant overhaul of the electrical power system. Three steps toward solving this problem are: 1) determination of electrical load shedding possibilities, 2) selection of reliable components, and 3) Fabrication of a top level system design. Employing this concept would assist in improving flight crew's effectiveness and efficiency while at the same time providing for expanded aircraft mission capability.
