Power source unit of a small airship

Abstract

This paper describes a proposal on a construction of a power supply module that is intended to be implemented in a small airship. Because the bearing capacity of the airship is limited, simple and efficient voltage converters must be employed. The paper provides a description of a proposal on mutual timing of these converters that leads to eliminating of the interferences caused by the currents that are drawn by the converters. The hereby described method allows the designers to use smaller capacitors and inductors which will result in smaller weight and dimensions of the power supply unit. Furthermore, an example of a voltage converter design is provided in the framework of the paper.
