NASA AREAL Testbed High Voltage UE Power Quality Testing

This paper describes the testing related to high voltage DC power quality verification criteria for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) Project. Verification of utilization equipment (UE) consisting of an input filter, inverter, and permanent magnet machine has been performed at a nominal voltage of 630Vdc using the NASA Advanced Reconfigurable Electrified Aircraft Lab (AREAL). Test results will be provided for draft verification criteria relative to both normal and abnormal inputs to the UE. Additionally, evaluation of results and commentary with respect to the test setups will be provided.
