    Abstract: A system includes: a first electrical machine; a motor controller device coupled to the first electrical machine, wherein the motor controller device is configured to convert first power generated by the first electrical machine or provide second power to the first electrical machine; and a set of coupling devices configured to mechanically couple or decouple the first electrical machine and a turbine engine based on a mode of the system. The set of coupling devices includes: a first gearbox coupled to the first electrical machine; a first coupling device between the first gearbox and the turbine engine; a second gearbox; a second coupling device between the second gearbox and the turbine engine; and a third coupling device between the first gearbox and the second gearbox.

    Abstract: A system includes four high voltage direct current (HVDC) feeders, each having a first contactor configured for selectively connecting a positive terminal of an HVDC source to the respective HVDC feeder, and having a second contactor configured for selectively connecting the respective HVDC feeder to an HVDC bus. A power converter can be configured to use feedback to locate a fault when a fault arises, and to isolate the fault by opening of the contactors as needed for continued operation of as many of the HVDC feeders as possible after clearing the fault.

    Abstract: An aircraft includes an electrical system and an electronic controller. The electronic controller includes a main processor and a multi-core processor. The multi-core processor includes a control core in signal communication with the electrical system, and one or more prognostics cores configured to process and analyze prognostics and diagnostics data of the electrical system independently from operation of the control core. A wireless device is in signal communication with one or more of the prognostics cores to receive the prognostics and diagnostics data therefrom. The aircraft further includes a prognostics and health monitoring (PHM) system located remotely from the electronic controller. The PHM system is configured to wirelessly receive the prognostics and diagnostics data from the wireless device.
