Optimal control solutions therefore depend on both past and future events. This complicates evaluation of the relative performance of different architectures due to dependence on controller strategies and algorithms. Herein, we introduce a technique for early stage evaluation of the relative performance of various ship power system designs by assuming a known future and calculating the best-case performance of any possible controller design. We demonstrate this technique using 6 mission scenarios on a representative multi-bus power system architecture. The controller has perfect future knowledge of the loads on each 10 minute mission, which provides an upper bound on performance for a given architecture. While not usually achievable in practice, this technique allows a fair early stage comparison of multiple architectures regardless of controller type.","PeriodicalId":227033,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium (ESTS)","volume":" 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132075625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, hybrid diesel-electric propulsion is found to provide good acceleration without thermally overloading the engine when speed control is employed for the electric drive in combination with torque control for the diesel engine.","PeriodicalId":227033,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium (ESTS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131154919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system is tested in the laboratory where it is demonstrated that a hard fault can be isolated from a controlled rectifier by the solid-state breaker within the ultra-fast time period (sub-millisecond).
