This paper addresses the design and implementation of a droop controlled three phase bidirectional AC-DC converter for more electric aircraft (MEA) applications. A unified control strategy using a droop characteristic is presented to achieve the bidirectional power flow between the AC and DC source while maintaining a stable DC output voltage. Based on the rigorous control design, the converter is capable of operating over a wide frequency range with a unity power factor. The key findings obtained from the theoretical analysis are confirmed by simulation studies and further validated by a scaled down laboratory prototype. The practical results show good performance of the bidirectional converter and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
