A Two-Level Topology Design Framework for Reliable Shipboard Power Systems

摘要: Ensuring a high level of service reliability is paramount importance in an all-electric ship. In the literature, shipboard power systems (SPS) have been designed for improved survivability and quality (QOS) requirements. This paper presents two-level topology design approach develops system-level architectures SPS that ensure continuity event outage or failure. A reliable architecture obtained by (1) choice topology, (2) optimally placing equipment loads within (3) designing distribution circuit topology. First, theoretical framework developed to demonstrate relationship between high-level its connections. For ship’s primary system, breaker-and-a-half (BAAH) was observed be most reliable. The indices are further BAAH zonal electric (ZED) systems, algorithm optimal minimizing number conductors while satisfying required measure proposed. It concluded depends on: connections, relative placement generators.
