Virtual Prototyping, Advanced Electric Systems, and Controls for Ships
Abstract
Progress was made on three fronts that support development of all-electric ships. 1) New capabilities for virtual prototyping of advanced electric systems were developed, with emphasis on simulation of uncertain systems, tools for rapid model development, realtime and distributed simulation with hardware in the simulation loop including enforcement of natural coupling laws at the interface points between the real and virtual components of the system, and security of the simulation environment. 2) New control methods and algorithms and new methods for rapid prototyping and insertion of controls into power electronic systems were developed, with emphasis on manifold-based control schemes especially as applied to local systems of competing loads, and the man-machine interface for controls. 3) New understandings of the stability and dynamic performance of emerging shipboard power system architectures were developed, along with new methods for characterizing the risk, stability, and performance of those systems.
