Full simulation modeling for electrical analysis of all electric ships with medium voltage DC power system

This paper presents the development of full simulation model for All Electric Ship (AES) based on medium voltage DC power system. AES is generally adopted Integrated Power Systems (IPS). AES has become popular both in commercial and military areas owing to the advantages of IPS. However, the configuration of IPS is complex and difficult to experimental verification. Therefore, a tool for effective analysis is highly required to have an insight into the ship electrical system. The proposed simulation model includes the mechanical and the electrical elements by using the MATLAB/Simulink tool. By using this model, proposed paper performs a comprehensive electrical analysis based on the different ship operating scenarios.
