HYBRID PROPULSION ASSEMBLY FOR AIRCRAFT

Series hybrid propulsion unit including a gas turbine driving a mechanical shaft of an electric generator having n output phases and supplying an AC busbar, and a system for monitoring the speed of the gas turbine, the AC busbar supplying a plurality of AC distribution channels each composed of an electric rectifier and a battery sharing the power required to supply a DC bus, the DC bus in turn supplying a plurality of propulsion sub-channels composed of electric inverters supplying, under the monitoring of a control module, motors driving thrusters, further including a battery charger for charging the battery from the DC bus, a power management module delivering a power reference for the electric generator, and a hybridization rate management module monitoring the voltage of the DC bus, the battery being directly connected on the DC bus via a passive component and the electric rectifier being a passive converter.
