Abstract :
Modern ship propulsion systems are looking towards to high efficiency electric drive systems. The present paper presents the dynamic behaviour of a naval Full Electric Propulsion (F.E.P.) system based on a Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter and an Induction Motor Drive. Simulation results based on real hull dynamic data where carried out for load loss, load impact and speed reversion.
