Voltage quality studies in electric power systems: An AC/DC network for a shipboard application

Abstract

The paper reports a voltage quality studies about integrate power system architectures in an all-electric ship. Two layout are considered: a medium voltage AC system and a “Hybrid” system which includes DC subnetworks. All-electric military vessels are characterized by a high power electric propulsion and high penetration of non-linear and impulsive loads. The study reports a power quality analysis for the two types of configurations network.
