ABSTRACT:
This paper discusses new techniques which will reduce manning requirements and increase the reliability of continuous service through automation of functions related to the ship's electrical system. Its functions include monitoring and control, automated system failure analysis and identification, automated intelligent system reconfiguration and restoration, and self-optimizing power system architecture under partial failure.New materials such as high energy magnets and high temperature superconductors are either available or on the horizon. New technologies are an important driver of new power system concepts and architectures.This paper also introduces new approaches for designing ship power systems by using several new technologies.
