Abstract

The inertia of DC power system is very low in general compared to the traditional AC system’s inertia, necessitating the introduction of new concepts for shipboard DC power systems. This paper proposes an innovative control structure for electric-ship DC system which integrates ultra-capacitor and SMES energy storage systems to stabilise its microgrid with minimal voltage disturbance caused by the ship dynamic loads, whilst allowing dynamic close-loop re-balancing of the storage systems. New design and optimisation methodologies, based on new dynamic system model, are presented and discussed. Power system performance has been assessed and validated through real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation and practical implementation of the control concept using DSP hardware.
