Abstract:
1. A power generation/distribution system comprising: a primary power source configured to generate primary electrical power; a RAM air turbine (RAT) generator configured to generate emergency electrical power when deployed into an airstream; an emergency integrated control center (EICC) configured to transition a plurality of electrical loads from the primary electrical power to the emergency electrical power, the plurality of electrical loads including one or more essential loads and one or more emergency loads, each load connected directly or indirectly to an alternating current essential bus (AC ESS bus), the EICC selectively applying either primary electrical power or emergency electrical power to the AC ESS bus for selective distribution to the one or more essential loads and the one or more emergency loads; wherein the EICC is configured to monitor the primary electrical power and in response to a detected loss of primary electrical power selectively disables a supply of primary electrical power to the one or more essential loads and the one or more emergency loads, and the EICC is configured to manage subsequent loading of the RAT generator by the one or more essential loads and the one or more emergency loads; and wherein the EICC comprises:
