General modulation methodology and optimization conditions are presented, and with the help of linear programming, the optimum solution for a particular objective function can be achieved to implement the proposed ZCS scheme. In conjunction with a back-end ac/ac converter operating with a novel patent-filed hybrid modulation scheme which reduces the number of hard-switched commutation per switching cycle, the proposed ZCS scheme can also realize zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) on secondary side rectifier to improve the overall efficiency further. With the nonzero pulsating dc output, the proposed ZCS scheme is effective even without an active clamp circuit, and it is suitable for applications where low-voltage dc to high-voltage three-phase ac power conversion is required.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"51 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":"114567691","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}

Muzzle velocities in excess of 2km/s are achievable by rail guns and this provides ranges far in excess of current capability. In addition this speed allows the kinetic energy of around 60 MJ alone to provide the destructive effect. The absence of high energy explosive in the warhead also simplifies ship design by the removal of the need for magazines. However such performance requires, for a 20 kg projectile, very large amounts of stored electrical power, perhaps in excess of 200 MJ, together with an allocation of up to 20 MW steady power generation to sustain a firing rate of 6 rounds per minute. A previous paper used a co-energy analysis to explore the ship integration issues such as heat management and rail stresses arising from the operation of a rail gun. This paper extends the granularity of the physical simulation of the rail gun's operation by using a finite element approach based on Ampere's law of magnetic induction and compares its results to those of the original co-energy analysis.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"160 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":"114610560","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}

Air-gap irreularities and related monitoring techniques for synchronous machines have been studied in the past mainly about large vertical hydro-generators [1], but similar issues have been recently recognized as worthy of attention for on-board ship generators. Static and dynamic rotor eccentricities were simulated in this work, for a medium power ship brushless generator, by using a dynamic model including inductances computed by parametric 3D FEM and MWFA-based analyses of the faulty machine, and taking in account the damping effect of the parallel paths inside the machine. Currently voltage, and no-load e.m.f. sleady-state waveforms were analyzed by FFT. No-load vollage harmonics are sensitive fault indicators, whose harmonic content directly reflects level and type of eccentricity, and which can be used ror diagnostic purposes.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"36 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":"125210384","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}

To achieve high torque density and power factor, increasing the saliency ratio Ld/Lq and making the difference of these inductances (Ld-Lq) large enough are well known methods. Otherwise, the performance of the motor will remain below that of a similar induction machine using similar stator. By placing a proper amount of permanent magnets inside of the rotor in proper position it will be possible to achieve a significant improvement in performance of this permanent magnet assisted SynRM (PMa-SynRM) which will be comparable with induction machines with same stators. This PMa-SynRM will have benefit of reduced price due to use of conventional induction machines stators. This study investigates the characteristic of an optimized PMa-SynRM rotor for a specific 36-slot NEMA-Frame stator used in 7.5 HP induction motor and the paper presents the comparison results between the PMa-SynRM, SynRM, and the induction motor obtained from FEM analysis.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"23 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":"125238980","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}

Topological survivability is the capacity inherent in the IPS architecture to maintain operations under adverse conditions such as, for example, combat damage. The IPS architecture determines whether power is available to loads after damage occurs and, therefore, is a key factor to consider in the analysis of the IPS survivability. Since survivability of an all-electric ship relies on the IPS survivability, clearly, the resistance of the IPS architecture to multiple faults should be analyzed at the early design stage and incorporated into the ship design. The algorithm proposed enables one to conduct such an analysis in a timely manner.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"88 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":"133551832","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}

Applying state space averaging approach to the non-linear model, dc and small-signal ac models of the high-speed FESS were derived. In this paper, these models are used to evaluate the performance of the FESS in both dc and small-signal ac modes of operations. For dc analysis, the FESS is charged from low speed to high speed and is discharged and the performance of the FESS is evaluated over complete operating range. Then, the small-signal models are developed at these dc operating points and the small-signal ac analysis is performed. This comprehensive investigation will provide a valuable database for control engineers to make an informed decision on both type and design of the controller. At the end, as a proof of the accuracy of the model, the analytical results are compared with simulation results using PSIM package.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"90 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":"124563766","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}
