Two different state-of-the art solutions of redundant electric propulsion are presented. The first example is a cruise ship with two azimuthal thrusters, both of which are equipped with 18 to 21 MW dual-stator synchronous motors and driven by two voltage source inverters (VSI) in a redundant configuration. The phase shift between the stator windings in each motor is 30 degrees, and the motors can also operate with only one stator system in case that another system is lost. The second example is LNG carriers, where one propeller is driven through a gearbox by two 12 to 15 MW dual-stator synchronous motors. The motors are supplied by VSI-type frequency converters with double inverter units and supply units, allowing each motor to operate in half power mode in case of a fault in any of these modules. The both configurations provide 75% redundancy in case of the most common single faults without notably increasing the cost and complexity of the system.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115628495","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 background of graphic-processing-unit based programming that incorporates parallel programming techniques is explored and shown to be an alternative approach for accelerating existing numerical-field analysis techniques. With the advent of C-based coding languages for graphic processing units, existing MATLAB routines can be transitioned to parallel methods by porting functions. Finally, the issues associated with utilizing these techniques are explored in a boundary-element based field-analysis problem.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128485921","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}

An investigation based on simulation results from a notional, high-fidelity DC zonal electrical distribution system (DCZEDS) model in PSCAD/EMTDC is first conducted. It reveals that the proposed method remains effective even for a DC system in which the noise level is highly limited and, hence, attenuated. The result is then validated through the analysis based on an experimental small scale DC distribution system which includes shielded power cables and DC-DC converters with low switching frequency to capture the high frequency feature of the notional DCZEDS.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"330 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124652002","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}
