Description
Efficient and reliable power distribution systems are essential for the operational effectiveness and survivability of future US Navy ships. With the increasing complexity and power demand of next-generation vessels, advanced power system architectures need to be explored to integrate emerging technologies. This research aims to evaluate a zonal model of a power electronic-based system that will integrate a traditional medium voltage alternating current bus (MVAC) and a low voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution bus using MATLAB/Simulink as a simulation tool. MATLAB/Simulink is an industry standard programable mathematical analysis software which allows for simulation of complex electrical and mechanical systems. The system will be tested for fault conditions, such as generator losses, to assess its response and evaluate its survivability. Evaluation of the system involves determining if the system conforms to applicable standards, as well as survivability in the time taken from fault to system recovery. This study aims to accelerate the development of advanced power systems that can operate reliably under harsh environments and meet the demands for future naval warfare.
