Abstract :
Shipboard power systems (SPS) are geographically spread all along the ship. It consists of various components such as generators, cables, switchboards, circuit-breakers, bus transfer switches and loads all interconnected with each other and located at various places (decks) on the ship. Geographical information on these components is required to assess the impact of faults caused due to battle damage or material casualties. Information regarding faulted components is required for the automation methods such as failure assessment, restoration and reconfiguration. Good visualization and information retrieval tools are required to assess the effect of battle damage on the shipboard power systems so that failure assessment and restoration can be quickly done to as many loads as possible. This paper presents the details of visualization for SPS.
