Power Management of Small Naval Vessels
Abstract
Three main challenges to applying an all-electric architecture to smaller, quarter-scale prototype Navy vessels are pursued along with several related topics that have arisen over the course of the project as manpower became available as the initial tasks were completed. The three main challenges are: l) Faster and more effective charging system for charging the main batteries in a quarter scale prototype destroyer, increasing the capacity eightfold within the same charging time, 2) Redesign of an uninterruptible power supply battery bank on the quarter scale prototype destroyer and charging system for fourfold greater service, and 3) Mitigation system for voltage sags experiences on the LSV2 prototype submarine. Additional problems addressed by the project team include: a) Feasibility study and design study for the addition of fuel cell energy storage to the prototype destroyer to either to replace or supplement existing battery based system, b) Design of data acquisition system for the prototype destroyer with emphasis on monitoring electrical system performance and battery condition, c) Battery charger control for the LSV2 prototype submarine, d) Analysis and design of a fast fault detection scheme for medium voltage direct current power systems, e) Evaluation and development of fault detection scheme for ungrounded and high resistance grounded medium voltage ac power distribution systems, f) Develop model of AESD electrical system in RTDS, and several other subprojects.
