The ability to maintain the power balance, and effectively share the demand power among the available generating units is one of the essential requirements of a dc shipboard microgrid. When multiple power sources participate in the voltage regulation of a common dc-bus, droop control is typically used and a steady-state error in the voltage...

Modern ports are expected to play a key role in the transportation chain, being transformed into smart grids and smart energy hubs where electric energy needs predominate. Cold ironing (CI), also known as onshore power supply (OPS) or alternate marine power, is indeed one the most energy-demanding applications. The power demand of a berthed...

DC microgrids represent a valuable solution for the realization of shipboard power systems. However, protection of dc microgrid is challenging: the absence of zero crossing of dc currents and the fast response of new technologies of energy storage system such as supercapacitor and batteries introduce strict requirements on the circuit breaker...

This paper introduces an extension of an algorithm for fault detection and localization in active radial distribution networks based on state estimation and phasor measurement devices. This work takes into account the possibility of changing the network topology through switching devices, usually as a consequence of the protection system...

Pulse power loads encompass various demanding applications, in which a certain electrical apparatus absorbs a large amount of power for a very short duration. The impact of this type of loads on the shipboard power system performance is of great interest for both new building and ships retrofitting. The goal of this work is, firstly, to...

DC microgrids represent an interesting opportunity for shipboard power system applications, where the integration of dc-interfaced resources is needed. However, maintaining system stability becomes a major challenge in the presence of constant power loads, which exhibit a negative incremental resistance behavior. This work is focused on...

This work proposes an optimal power management strategy for shipboard microgrids equipped with diesel generators and a battery energy storage system. The optimization provides both the unit commitment and the optimal power dispatch of all the resources, in order to ensure reliable power supply at minimum cost and with minimum environmental...
