Empirical Evaluation of DC Power Cables to Reduce Weight/Volume Impact on Future Navy Platforms
Abstract
Empirical Evaluation of DC Power Cables to Reduce Weight/Volume Impact on Future Navy Platforms The University of Texas at Austin Center for Electromechanics proposes a power cable testing program to obtain empirical data from existing cable designs subjected to voltage, thermal, and mechanical stresses, assess the results in light of more than a decade of ship power system simulation results, and then use the information to define a smaller dc cable configuration that meets the Navy’s requirements for performance and long?term reliability. Success will also show the path toward a fundamentally new method of assessing electrical insulations systems for ships.
