Summary
Industry Day QA summary from the March 3, 2020 EPS RFI Industry Days focusing on electrical system architecture, power and thermal management, APU/SPU, batteries, main generators, starter-generators, and power electronics.
Key points include discussions on the Army's rationale for a 270DC volt system due to future advancements and capabilities, considerations for power sources for ground starting and in-air restarts, potential acquisition strategies for entire systems/subsystems, challenges and trends related to higher voltage applications in aircraft systems, and the impact of transitioning to a higher voltage system on existing fleet platforms.
Additionally, the document addresses questions regarding software/hardware certification requirements, battery solutions including lithium-ion technology, potential uses of batteries beyond emergency power and APU start, design changes needed for main generators to run at 270VDC, thermal management challenges with power electronics, and considerations for materials that dissipate heat in high energy demand applications.
