Modelling methodology for analysis of shipboard power systems with multiple superconducting devices

Abstract

Benefits of integrated HTS power system and the associated cryogenic systems are discussed. A versatile modelling methodology developed to assess the system level implications of various potential configurations of for connecting multiple HTS devices is described. Case studies involving a hypothetical HTS system with a generator, a motor and a power cable is used to demonstrate the usefulness of the modelling methodology. Using the methodology, multiple configurations were analyzed and the results are discussed.
