The proposed rectifier includes a phase-shifting autotransformer based on a polygon connection, two 6-pulse diode bridge rectifiers (DBRs), and a PMC. The novel PMC consists of two TIPRs (TIPR1 and TIPR2), an auxiliary single-phase diode bridge (including four diodes D1 to D4), and two auxiliary diodes D21 and D22, which are connected directly to the output terminal of the DBRs (DBR1 and DBR2). The simulation and experimental results confirm the high capability of the proposed PMC to reduce the harmonic distortion of the input current, so that by using the proposed PMC, the input current is almost sinusoidal and the THD of the input current is less than 3%.

The energy consumption model, power demand model, and decision function with minimum fuel consumption as the evaluation criteria were established according to the ship's characteristics and hybrid system. By analysing the data collected from an actual ship, the operating conditions of the navigation environment were identified using the <i>k-means</i> algorithm, and the total distance travelled by the ship was divided into several sub-trajectories. Afterwards, the optimised speed of the ship and the optimised output power of each power source were determined using the grasshopper optimization algorithm. The ship's energy efficiency levels before and after using the energy efficiency enhancement method were compared and analysed, and the effects of this optimization method on the ship's energy efficiency in several typical voyages were analysed. Our findings demonstrated that this optimization method can distribute the output of the power source in a better way, thereby optimising the speed of the vessel and maintaining stable sailing.

SPSs are subject to various types of electrical faults that can cause equipment failure, system downtime, and even catastrophic events. One effective way to provide redundancy and fault tolerance in the event of a fault or failure is through the use of zonal configuration. However, the protection of such systems is a challenging task due to their complex topology and the potential for multiple sources of fault. Therefore, it is imperative to protect the SPS with zonal configuration from various types of fault to ensure its continuous operation. This article presents a comprehensive coordinated protection strategy for a hybrid AC/DC SPS with the zonal configuration by using the available protective equipment. The proposed strategy consists of fault current limiting, grounding, fault detection, and faulty section isolation, and provides both primary and backup protections for all SPS equipment, including generator, busbar, line, input and output feeders, loads, propulsion motors, and DC system. Also, it does not require a comprehensive communication infrastructure and training dataset. The selective and reliable performance of the proposed protection strategy is verified through several case studies under various fault scenarios in the ETAP environment.
