Abstract
The invention relates to a system for sychronising energy sources coupled to an electrical grid supplying at least one electrical load of an aircraft, said system comprising: a main source of electrical energy supplying said electrical load comprising a multi-stage generator, said multi-stage generator comprising: a primary stage comprising a generator with permanent magnets, a secondary stage comprising an excitation, and a tertiary stage comprising a main generator; an auxiliary source of electrical energy supplying said electrical load; and a device for synchronising the main source and the auxiliary source, designed to measure an electrical voltage at the outlet of the primary stage of the main source, and to control the supply of said electrical load by means of the auxiliary source of electrical energy at an electrical voltage slaved to the characteristics of frequency and phase of the electrical voltage of the primary stage.
