Future MVDC Power Systems: Risk Mitigation Via Load Monitoring and Fault Identification
Abstract
The future Naval ship power system will contain a substantial amount of electronic loads with inconsistent, irregular, and intermittent power consumption. Examples include advanced radar systems, pulsed power weapons, and energy storage units. In these systems, it is difficult tomonitor the power consumption and determine which loads are contributing at a particular time. The situation is further complicated under faulty conditions since the intermittent loads have power consumption that resembles faults. Further, monitoring such a system with irregular loads under fault further complicates load identification. In this project, ship power system loads and faults will be characterized with the help of existing models in the PMS320 verified portfolio.Load declassification algorithms will be reviewed and applied to the developed models to identify the loads being used and the faults. The Naval Postgraduate School will be collaborating with the simulation effort and to guarantee Naval relevance. A small-scale laboratory system will be set up to verify the research results. The final result of this research will be to de-risk medium-voltage dc for future shipboard power systems.
