Abstract
A hybrid/electric propulsion architecture for a multi-rotor rotary wing aircraft, including an electricity generator driven by an internal combustion engine, and configured to operate in motor mode, a rectifier configured to convert an alternating current delivered by the electricity generator into direct current, an electrical network including a high voltage direct current (HVDC) bus, electrical energy storage means connected to the electrical network, during electrical energy regeneration on the HVDC bus, depending on the state of charge of the storage means: the storage means are configured to recover electrical energy, the storage means and the rectifier are configured to recover electrical energy, and the electricity generator operating in motor mode is configured to recover electrical energy.
