Framework for Quantifying Uncertainty in Electric Ship Design
Abstract
XThis documented briefing outlines an approach for examining alternative technologies for electric ship design. We used quantitative methods for estimating the performance distribution of individual components and for integrating this information to obtain distributions of overall ship performance measures. To provide an example of the usefulness of these methods, we consider several component performance metrics for several components (motors, generators, power electronics, etc.) and examine their effects on one key ship-level performance metric, ship power density for a notional electric-propulsion destroyer. This framework features Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
