Today's advanced aircraft electrical power generating systems rely on microprocessor technology for the implementation of most control, protection, and built in test functions. Microprocessors offer distinct advantages over discrete logic devices in system design end performance. The first half of this paper highlights these advantages by illustrating the design implementation process used in current systems. The second half of the paper expans on these advantages. By adapting more advanced microprocessor systems in the next generation of aircraft electric systems, additional functions can be implemented. Microprocessors control of generator paralleling and voltage, regulation coupled with more effective built-in test capabilities will result in significant improvements in system performance.
