Abstract This paper discusses the functions of power conditioning for application to a high-voltage dc electric power system. Sample load profiles of an SST-type aircraft are presented, and the power conditioning needs are outlined. Present and projected power level of power conditioners for different high-voltage dc distribution systems are discussed. The characteristics of thyristor switches are reviewed, and the technology status of thyristor power conditioners is discussed. Two classes of thyristor power amplifiers are identified for application to the flight vehicle.
