Reconfiguration in Shipboard Power Systems [PDF]
A shipboard power system is self contained, tightly coupled, and small enough to allow nearly real time state estimation, given the right equivalent circuit representations. Redirecting power flow is the preeminent task of reconfiguration. This redirection should be accomplished in less than two cycles, while never compromising system stability or ...

Modelling of DC shipboard power system [PDF]
Modelling and simulation of emerging DC shipboard power system (SPS) is required to validate the hardware design, converter control and protection algorithms. As DC SPSs may be large and complicated, the simulation of such systems using high fidelity models generally consumes much time and the validation of performance using multiple test scenarios ...

Optimal Power Generation Scheduling of a Shipboard Power System [PDF]
This paper studies the optimal power generation scheduling for a shipboard power system. The problem is formulated as a discrete-time Markov decision process (MDP). The paper considers the shipboard power system both without any energy storage and with energy storage, and obtains an optimal power generation scheduling for each situation.

Directional protection scheme for MVDC shipboard power system [PDF]
DC shipboard power systems are gaining popularity primarily because they allow each prime mover to be operated at an optimal speed with respect to fuel efficiency. Another notable advantage is the simplified operation of generators in parallel without concern for frequency synchronization.

Impact of the voltage dips in shipboard microgrid power systems [PDF]
Voltage and frequency transient variations are the most common power quality issues in a ship microgrid system. In this paper, the impacts of the voltage dips induced by the sudden-load of ballast pump are analyzed in detail for the ship power systems.

Giant phytoplankton revealed by in situ imaging
Abstract Deployment of an autonomous Zooglider in the western Mediterranean Sea revealed the presence of long phytoplankton chains attaining maximum lengths of 6.4–10.4 mm suspended in situ. Elongate chains included the diatoms Guinardia, Proboscia, two other diatom morphologies, and solitary filaments of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium. Most elongate

Constraining the Permeability and Outer‐Rise Hydration at the Central America Margin
Abstract Subduction zones are important drivers of Earth's geochemical evolution; the presence of water within the subduction system has substantial implications for geohazards, including the style of seismicity and the volume of magma generated at arc volcanoes.

Abstract Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are widely used as paleoclimate proxies on land, yet their origin in marine environments remains incompletely constrained. Here, we analyze suspended particulate matter collected from five depths at an open‐ocean station in the northern South China Sea and provide depth‐resolved evidence

Assessing Zooplankton Communities' Influence on Particulate Organic Carbon Concentration
Abstract Zooplankton play a key role in setting the particulate organic carbon (POC) distribution in the ocean, but this role remains poorly quantified on large scales due to the complexity of zooplankton ecosystems and the sparsity and variability of observations.

Ground‐Truthed Fiber‐Optic Sensing Reveals Internal Tide Bores Over Madeira's Steep Slope
Abstract We demonstrate the combined utility of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and repeat conductivity‐temperature‐depth (CTD) profiling for observing internal tide dynamics over a sloping seafloor. While DAS has been widely proposed as a method to infer ocean temperature variability from seafloor cables, quantitative in situ validation has been ...
