Estimating transient response of simple AC and DC shipboard power systems to pulse load operations

Abstract

The sources of transients in an electric ship power system include those encountered in conventional terrestrial power systems as well as certain sources unique to the shipboard environment such as the pulse load. This paper explains the modeling of the electric ship power system components including the pulse load for studying the effects of the transients in different frequency ranges. The models of AC and DC power systems are compared for these frequency ranges.
