Abstract
Disclosed is an energy management system for an aircraft. The system includes an electric machine including a stator surrounding a rotor having permanent magnets disposed therein, wherein rotation of the rotor causes an alternating current to be generated in windings of the stator that is uncontrolled. The system includes an electric propulsion system. The system includes a bidirectional power converter having a first side connected to the electric machine and a second side galvanically isolated from the first side and connected to the electric propulsion system. The bidirectional power converter includes a switching network that regulates power associated with the electric machine and power transfer across the bidirectional power converter. The switching network is operable to satisfy collective power flows of the electric machine and the electric propulsion system through the bidirectional power converter.
