Tame-Power: DC DC converter manufacturer for aeronautics

Power conversion solutions for low-carbon aeronautical mobility

Towards a new aeronautical mobility…

Motivated by the demand to optimize aircraft performance, reduce operating and maintenance costs, increase reliability and reduce gas emissions, the aeronautics and aerospace industry is moving towards more electric mobility solutions.

The aeronautics and aerospace mobility markets can be broken down into the following sub-markets:

Aerospace transport solutions: passenger aircraft, business aircraft, commercial aircraft, military aircraft, airships, etc.
New flying objects: drones, flying cabs, etc.

Two major trends are shaping the aeronautical mobility market of tomorrow:

The more electrical aircraft (MEA)
The hydrogene aircraft

The development of new modes of transportation and the willingness to reach a carbon-free mobility led Tame-Power to adress the electric aeronautics mobility market. Tame-Power falls within the global electrification and energy transition and brings more environmentally friendly power electronics solutions.

High voltage DC DC converters

Tame-Power’s DC DC converters allow the transfer of 1kW to several megawatts over voltage ranges from 35V to 950V input or output.

DC DC converters are able to couple different power sources in hybrid architectures integrating: fuel cells, batteries, supercaps, turbines, resistors, etc. Tame-Power products integrate all the control modes for optimal operation. Tame-Power DC converters are able to:

Operate on 35V to 950V voltage ranges
Generate 1kW to 120kW output power per power conversion module
Integrate to both stationary and embedded applications
Transfer power in both boost and buck mode (bidirectional DC to DC converters)
Integrate several control modes in input or in output: current, voltage and power
Integrate a specific mode to battery charge
Combine several DC DC converters to increase the total output power

Tame-Power products are designed for stationary or embedded applications in the aerospace mobility market and are integrated into:

On-board applications: aircraft (passenger, business, commercial or military), airships, flying cabs and common avionics loads.
Stationary applications: charging solutions.

DC DC converter racks

Tame-Power high power DC DC converters can be combined in parallel to increase the total power transferred. Thus, Tame-Power proposes to combine up to ten converter modules.

Tame-Power use cases on the aeronautics market

DC DC converters for Stratobus

The Stratobus project is a geostationary multi-mission platform concept that can carry payloads for civil or military applications (surveillance, observation, detection, communication, etc.). Self-sufficient in energy thanks to its solar panels and its reversible fuel cell, this dirigible balloon evolving in the stratosphere, at 20 km altitude, is propelled by electrical energy. Tame-Power is a partner in the consortium to provide DC to DC converters to power the balloon’s power, communication and control equipment.

DC to DC converters for E-Fan X

In 2017, AIRBUS launched the E-Fan X demonstrator with the ambition to test technologies that could decarbonize the sky. In the test aircraft, one out of four engines is replaced by a 2 MW electric motor. TRONICO is participating in this ambitious project and supplying DC DC power converters.
