In recent years, the Navy has been seeking an automated damage control and power system management approach for future reconfigurable shipboard power systems. This paper presents a dynamic formulation and a static implementation of a new damage control method at the DC zonal integrated fight through power system level. The method used a constrained binary genetic algorithm to find an optimal network configuration. System operating limits act as constraints in the static damage control implementation. Off-line studies were conducted using an example power system modeled in PSCAD to evaluate the effectiveness of the damage control method. The simulation results for case studies showed that, in most cases, the proposed damage algorithm was able to find the optimal network configuration that restores the power system network without violating the power system operating constraints.","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":"127471862","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}

Such integration tests require large analog test benches or the use of actual equipment during system commissioning. Fully digital simulators can also be used to perform Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) integration tests to evaluate the performance of some parts of these very complex systems. This approach, in use for decades in the automotive and aerospace industries, can significantly reduce the costs, duration and risks related to the use of actual equipment to conduct integration tests. However the computational power required to conduct detailed simulation of such diverse and numerous power electronic components can only be achieved through the use of distributed parallel supercomputers, optimized for hard real-time performance with jitter in the order of a few microseconds. Such supercomputers have traditionally been built using expensive custom computer boards. This paper presents the technology and performance achieved by the eMEGAsim real-time digital simulator, which is capable of meeting these challenges through the use of standard commercial INTEL quad-core computers interconnected by DOLPHIN SCI communication fabric. The precision achieved in the simulation of a detailed power electronic model implemented with SIMULINK and SimPowerSystems, and executed in parallel with RT-LAB, will also be presented using a typical basic AES configuration. Furthermore, AES design implies the collaboration between several multidisciplinary teams using different tools to simulate all electrical, mechanical and fluid dynamic subsystems. The ORCHESTRA real-time co-simulation publish-and-subscribe framework enabling the integration of multi-domain simulation tools will also be presented.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"1 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":"131373056","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}

This paper builds upon previously proposed zonal architectures that ensure power continuity during a fault and isolation of a fault with minimal impact to un-faulted portions of the system. The approach utilizes no load switches for fault isolation aided by multiple power electronic converters feeding the DC bus. Three electromechanical no load switches in a single assembly are utilized at the interface between electrical zones. The ability of the system to segregate the fault without loss of power to unfaulted zones is very limited without network communications between the power converter and switch components.

Low-speed operation is accompanied by propulsion system inefficiency, as the propulsion turbines are operating off-design. Low speeds are further enabled by propeller pitch variation, which exacerbates system inefficiency. A practical hybrid electric drive system will be proposed that complements the ship's existing mechanical propulsion and electrical plants. Electrical power generated by the ship service turbine-generators (SSTGs) is used to drive large permanent magnet motors. The motors then drive the propeller shafts during low speed operation. This scheme allows the propulsion turbines to be shut down and the SSTGs to run closer to design point, resulting in fuel savings. Additional savings are possible at higher speeds by operating the motor(s) in generation mode, enabling SSTG shut down and propulsion turbine performance optimization. This paper describes in detail the concept of hybrid drive operation and demonstrates the economic justification for such a system using the DDG-51 class of destroyers as an example platform.","PeriodicalId":446953,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium","volume":"25 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":"125389011","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}
