An electric architecture for a twin-engined, hybrid thermal/electric propulsion aircraft and, for each turboshaft which includes a high-voltage DC propulsive electric distribution network, a non-propulsive electric distribution network which is connected to loads of the aircraft, and an electric distribution network which is connected to loads of an electrified control system of the turboshaft engine, and wherein power supply sources are shared for these different networks.

Electric architecture for a hybrid thermal/electric propulsion aircraft and twin-engined aircraft comprising such an architecture

A system configured to deliver as output a polyphase current of constant frequency from a synchronous generator driven at variable speed. The system includes, at the output of the generator, an AC-to-DC active rectifier including one arm per phase of the current, a DC bus and a DC-to-AC inverter for the output including one arm per phase of the current, the inverter or the DC bus including an arm connected to the neutral, each arm including a controllable switch, the system including an electronic control unit driving the rectifier and including means for tracking a voltage for the rectifier and/or the inverter and means for controlling the inverter, the system including an EMC filter including one arm for each phase of the current, each arm including an inductor, a capacitor connected in a bypass downstream of the inductor, the arm connected to the neutral being connected to each bypass.
