System Impact of Pulsed Power Loads on a Laboratory Scale Integrated Fight Through Power (IFTP) System

Abstract

Pulsed power weaponry is being considered for inclusion in future warships. In this work, the effects of pulsed power weaponry on a power distribution and propulsion system are demonstrated in the context of a physical system known as the Naval Combat Survivability Testbed. It is shown that, as expected, when using an integrated fight through power (IFTP) architecture, the pulsed power load results in a disturbance on the generation ac bus; but it has no effect on the zonal ac busses. The use of propulsion coordination is also investigated.
