Shipboard Power Systems Research Activities at Mississippi State University

The future all-electric ship platform is providing a new set of research and development activities related to the electric power system. In order to design, build, and operate the ship effectively, tools must be developed that allow for modeling, simulation and analysis of individual parts of the shipboard power system as well as integration of the power system as a whole. This paper reports on activities at Mississippi State University related to modeling and simulation of shipboard power systems in the area of power system analysis, power electronic analysis and integration, and material modeling and testing.
