Abstract

An electrical supply system (10) with first and second electrical sourced (S1, S2), coupled together to electrically supply electrical loads (Z1, Z2, Z3 . . . Zn) of an aircraft. The first electrical source (S1) is mechanically coupled to a primary energy source (12), to which at least one other energy consumer (16) is coupled. A controller (30) controls the first and second electrical sources (S1, S2) so that the power drawn by the first electrical source from the primary energy source (12) corresponds to a difference between an instantaneous nominal power capable of being delivered by the primary energy source and an instantaneous power drawn by the energy consumer (16), and an electrical power delivered by the second electrical source is a sum of an electrical power delivered by the first and second electrical sources which corresponds to an instantaneous electrical consumption of the electrical loads.
