  • Abstract
    It is known that an unpredictable threat of transient overvoltage exists in a power system. Therefore, transient overvoltage protection analysis, commonly known as insulation coordination, should be performed to design cold-ironing power systems. This paper provides a review of the transient surge environment, transient overvoltage analysis, and the application of metal-oxide surge arresters at specific locations within the shore-to-ship power supply system to enhance transient overvoltage protection to minimize equipment damage.
