Agent Solutions for Navy Shipboard Power Systems
2007 IEEE International Conference on System of Systems Engineering, 2007It is envisioned that in the future a naval electric ship should be operated with minimum number of human operators, while having the intelligence to automatically reconfigure its power plant under various scenarios. This should be accomplished with less response time and adequate configurations when compared to the systems operated by humans.

On Improving Reliability of Shipboard Power System
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2015Distribution system reliability, defined by the expected frequency and duration of load service interruptions caused by component failures, is shown to be dependent on the topology of the distribution network, as well as on the relative placement of loads and generators within the system.

Diakoptics in Shipboard Power System Simulation
2006 38th North American Power Symposium, 2006A partitioning scheme for transient simulation of shipboard power systems (SPS) is presented. Using diakoptics, the piecewise transient solution to a ungrounded AC-radial (3phi) ring-bus system is found. Cable tie-lines (floating pi-segments) on the SPS ring are converted to hexagon equivalents by discretization and decoupled via source-transportation,

Electricity has been utilized in some small fashion onboard ships as early as the 1870s, and by the 1930s, it was in widespread use for various auxiliary machinery and even turbo-electric drives. Turbo-electric drives use electric generators to convert mechanical energy of a turbine into electric energy and electric motors to convert it back into ...
