One of the major challenges with electric shipboard power systems (SPS) is preserving the
survivability of the system under fault situations. Some minor faults in SPS can result in …

DC marine vessels with medium-voltage compact dc power systems are dominated by a
significant amount of active loads and a finite number of generation sources. In such …

The primary electric power system of ships has been based on the alternating current (AC)
system for a long time. However, marine engineers started to question the efficiency of the …

Robust management of short-circuit faults in MVDC systems must rely on a combination of
communication-dependent and communication-independent methods. In one approach, an …

Uninterrupted power supply is an important requirement for electric ship since it has to
confront frequent travel and hostilities. However, the occurrence of faults in the shipboard …
