Integrated optimal design for power systems of more electrical aircraft

This paper proposes an optimal design approach that aims at coupling a set of design models with an optimization algorithm in order “to improve the integration” of electrical devices and systems embedded in more electrical aircraft. This approach has already been applied to relatively complex power conversion systems like an electrical air conditioning system (ECS) and its interest has been proved. But, elementary components and technologies can also benefit from this approach, and this will be shown on the example of a special magnetic device referred to as Intercell Transformer(ICT).
