Complex energy vessels such as large platforms or drillships require more efficient use of electrical power. As shipboard electrical systems become larger, problems and limits arise with the AC distribution architecture. Hybrid AC/DC onboard distribution systems are today available, which provide higher efficiency and redundancy. IEEE Std. 1662, 1709 and 1826 set technical rules and recommendations for the design of hybrid AC/DC shipboard electrical systems. Among these, Zonal Electrical Distribution Systems (ZEDS) are considered a next technological evolution, as they provide optimal power sharing (and energy storage) along with high reliability. The paper is organized in sections: 1. energy specifications of new electric ships/platforms endowed with ZEDS; recommended design of ZEDS, mostly focused on relevant integration issues such as 2. voltage/power controls and 3. protections for DC faults and electrical safety and 4. ICT requirements.

The increasing presence of nonprogrammable renewable energy sources (RES) forces towards the development of new methods for voltage control. In the case of centralized generation, the hierarchical regulation or secondary voltage regulation (SVR) is guaranteed by coordinated voltage and reactive power controls in transmission systems. This type of regulation loses effectiveness when the generation becomes distributed and based on small and medium sized generators. To overcome this problem, it is important that also distributed generators, typically based on RES, participate in the voltage regulation. By starting from the methodologies already applied, this work wants to present a new method for involving distributed generators in SVR. The novelty is given by the application of an existing methodology to the new configuration of electrical grids characterized by a relevant distributed generation. The aim is to control the distributed generators (DGs) as coordinated sources of reactive power for conveniently supporting the voltage regulation. In this paper, a real large photovoltaic (PV) plant is considered. The power plant is composed of several PV generators connected through a distribution network. With the algorithm proposed, the set of generators can be treated as a single traditional power plant that can participate in the hierarchical voltage regulation. The reactive power of each single generator is coordinated in a way similar to the SVR used in several national systems.

Nowadays, shipboard power distribution systems deal with a huge increase in power electronic devices. The study of the propagation of high frequency disturbances (caused by the converters operation) into a shipboard power system is not trivial, eventually leading to the need of a frequency-dependent models. In fact, the modern power converters inject high frequency disturbances into the system, reaching frequencies up to the MHz range. The common models, based on low frequency (or even DC) parameters can be unsuitable for the task, leading to the need of developing new modeling approaches. In literature, many papers highlight the problems arising from high frequency disturbances in single cables, but methodological approaches to the overall system modeling are not provided. Thus, the goal of this work is to present the state of the art about power cables modeling, discussing their applicability to the high frequency disturbances propagation determination. Moreover, the need of a frequency-dependent model is assessed, by means of a case study. In particular, it results that frequency-dependent parameters are to be taken into account for frequencies over 10 5 Hz.

Innovative Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) distribution starts to play a crucial role in the future shipboard power systems. The analysis of stability conditions and the study of the frequency behavior of these systems are of primary importance nowadays. The authors have already proposed a model of a power system with one controlled load converter, achieving some stability conditions based on the load controller bandwidth in relation with the system parameters. In this paper, the power system, composed by two cascaded DC-DC converters, is analyzed starting from a different point of view. After the linearization around its equilibrium point, it is modeled according to a feedback Lure scheme. The input variable of the feedback loop is the output voltage of the feeder controller, while the output variable is the duty cycle of the load buck. The stability and the frequency behavior are studied both with the Nyquist criterion and the margin phase method. Furthermore, the influence on stability of both the feeder filter and the control bandwidth, together with their mutual interaction, is discussed. An example taken from a shipboard power system is used to validate the proposed model.

Direct current (DC) distribution is one of the most important enabling technologies for the future development of microgrids, due to the ease of interfacing DC components (e.g., batteries, photovoltaic systems, and native DC loads) to the grid. In these power systems, the large use of controlled power converters suggests the need of a careful analysis of system stability, as it can be impaired in particular conditions. Indeed, in DC power systems, a destabilizing effect can arise due to the presence of inductor/capacitor (LC) filtering stages (installed for power quality requirements) and high-bandwidth controlled converters, behaving as constant power loads (CPLs). This issue is even more critical when the CPL is potentially fed only by the battery, causing the DC bus to be floating. In this context, Lyapunov theory constitutes a valuable method for studying the system stability of DC microgrids feeding CPLs. Such a theory demonstrates how the region of asymptotic stability (RAS) shrinks as the state of charge of the battery diminishes (i.e., as the bus voltage decreases). Once the accuracy of the RAS is validated by comparing it to the real basin of attraction (BA), numerically derived using continuation methods, a smart power management of the CPL can be proposed to preserve the system stability even in the presence of a low bus voltage. Indeed, a suitably designed criterion for limiting the load power can guarantee the invariance of RAS and BA for each equilibrium point. An electric vehicle was used herein as a particular DC microgrid for evaluating the performance derating given by the power limitation.

Next generation of MVDC ships will be characterized by a power-electronics-based power distribution system. Since onboard power generation is in AC, special attention is pointed at the AC/DC interface converters forming the MVDC bus of the shipboard power distribution system. In this paper preliminary design of two AC/DC power conversion stages and their voltage control is provided. Besides the respective local control systems, a coordination strategy is required between the two AC/DC power conversion stages in order to achieve loads power sharing. In the proposed case study, a MVDC bus control based on the droop control theory is adopted. Simulation results support the proposed coordination strategy.

Voltage stability is an important problem in Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) power systems. A previous paper analyzed a model of a power system with one controlled load converter, achieving useful stability conditions on the controller bandwidth connected to system parameters. In this paper, a further study has been carried on, concerning the stability analysis of the two converters (the feeder buck and the load buck) with simple integral controls. The above-mentioned power system, composed by two cascaded DC-DC converters, is modelled using a fourth-order nonlinear system of differential equations. Then, the system is linearized around its equilibrium point and the input admittance is found. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion is applied to find the conditions on both controllers bandwidths that assure stability. The results are simple and of simple application. They may be very useful for what concerns the system stability analysis because the influence of the feeder controller on the load controller is made clear. Small-signals numerical simulations are used to validate the proposed model.

Business continuity and efficiency are recognized as key factors for the development of port electrical distribution systems. On one hand, the electrical system has to ensure safe, reliable and redundant supply of port loads and facilities: this constitutes a compulsory and imperative requirement for ensuring the port operation thus guaranteeing the related business. On the other, the port loads are to be efficiently fed for limiting power losses, therefore avoiding wasteful costs and implementing de-carbonization actions. To these aims, the paper models part of the electrical distribution system installed in the Port of Trieste (Italy). The latter is analyzed for identifying hidden power losses and defining the capability for new electrical installations. Particularly, the last aspect is of paramount importance considering the interest in installing electrical hubs for enabling locomotive/vehicle charging and shore-to-ship connections.

Focusing on the ports development, a variety of cranes can be envisaged for the activities in container terminals. Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes powered by on-board diesel generators represents the common solution. However, the more cost effective approach based on Electrically powered Rubber Tyred Gantry (E-RTG) cranes should be taken into consideration. The latter may constitute a nonlinear load for the electric power system, when the active front end interface is not present. This means that the delivered apparent power from the grid has to be increased in order to achieve the same working power at the load. This problem is emphasized when the container traffic is enlarged due to economic growth or as a consequence of competitiveness between ports. These unwanted energy fluctuations may be properly mitigated by applying an active front end, i.e. bidirectional three-phase AC/DC power converters. By decreasing the peak crane power, more cranes could be installed thereby increasing the speed of container traffic. In order to achieve high power quality, a variable DC link voltage has been initially evaluated by means of simulations. Then, the proposed approach has been tested in a 1kV active front end model based on STM32F407 microcontroller, showing more influence of variable DC link voltage in the single-phase solution.

Voltage stability is a fundamental issue to be addressed in the future All-Electric Ships (AESs) based on DC distribution. Focusing on a cascade-connected MVDC power system (i.e. a feeder DC-DC converter supplying a load DC-DC converter), the small-signal analysis is the first study to be accomplished for investigating the effect of load converter's control bandwidth on the system stability. Albeit such an evaluation may be performed on the complete fifth order model by determining the Routh-Hurwitz coefficients, a convenient model reduction can simplify this study. In such a way, it is possible to provide an analytical and simple formula for defining the minimum acceptable time constant (i.e. the maximum load converter control bandwidth). Once identified such a minimum time constant, some simulations show how the complete and reduced models work in presence of three different filter arrangements on the load converter side.

Over the past decades, the growth of international cruise tourism has been constant. The forecasts made by the Ships and Maritime Equipment Association indicates an annual growth rate of about 7%, leading to the triplication of global cruise passengers in the future (from 19 million passengers in 2010 to more than 54 million in 2035). To cover the future market needs, roughly six or eight new cruise ship buildings per year are planned until 2031, along with an increase in ship size (up to 8,000 persons accommodated onboard). These two facts have led to a growing interest in the passengers' safety, which has been addressed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) in 2000, with the launch of an initiative for adequate international safety regulation for large passenger ships. The first issue that emerged from such an initiative was the difficulty in safely evacuating passengers toward lifeboats during emergencies (in particular, during a fire or flooding). The solution proposed by the MSC requires that future passenger ships be designed to increase their intrinsic survivability, exploiting the concept that the ship is its own best lifeboat (thus avoiding abandoning the ship as much as possible). Such a solution was formalized in December 2006 through a package of amendments to regulations dedicated to large passenger ships and published in the 82nd session of the MSC, i.e., the Resolution MSC.216(82), commonly known as safe return to port regulations (SRtP).

Focusing on the relevant pros provided by power conversion onboard introduction (e.g. reduction of power system weight/volume), a widespread use of power converters is foreseeable in future MVDC shipboard power systems. For conveniently exploiting the power converters capability in the marine environment, a preliminary investigation about the attainable topologies must be carried out. In this paper the focus is limited to the AC-DC interface power conversion stage. Starting from the analysis of the power devices fully available on the market, four AC-DC interface converters topologies are proposed: a 12-pulse thyristor rectifier, an IGCT based rectifier, a modular multilevel IGBT rectifier and finally an IGBT Dual Active Bridge (DAB) based rectifier. With references to the present standards issues, the survey highlights advantages and disadvantages of the presented topologies providing a preliminary comparison in terms of rough estimation of weights, filtering elements, scalability (both in power and in voltage), power quality performance, galvanic isolation, complexity, etc.

Nowadays, it is of paramount importance reducing the pollutant emission also of small crafts operating near the coast. This action is an essential issue to preserve the marine and coastal environment. In this paper, the design of a coastal-navigation multipurpose craft to be used in North Adriatic Sea area is presented. The particular service areas are characterized both by inland waterways with shallow and restricted waters and by open sea. Hull-form of the craft along with hybrid-electric propulsion have been properly designed in order to obtain an efficient solution for the different operational conditions. Specifically, the hybrid-electric power system has been conceived to allow the Zero Emission Mode navigation for a reasonable range.

Future shipboard power systems using Medium Voltage Direct (MVDC) technology will be based on a widespread use of power converters for interfacing generating systems and loads with the main DC bus. Such a heavy exploitation makes the voltage control challenging in the presence of tightly controlled converters. By modeling the latter as Constant Power Loads (CPLs), one possibility to ensure the bus voltage stability is offered by the Linearizing via State Feedback technique (LSF), whose aim is to regulate the generating DC-DC power converters to compensate for the destabilizing effect of the CPLs. Although this method has been shown to be effective when system parameters are perfectly known, only a partial linearization can be ensured in case of parameter mismatch, thus jeopardizing the system stability. In order to improve the linearization, therefore guaranteeing the voltage stability, an estimation method is proposed in this paper. To this aim, off-line tests are performed to provide the input data for the estimation of model parameters. Such estimated values are subsequently used for correctly tuning the linearizing function of the DC-DC converters. Simulation results for bus voltage transients show that in this way converters become sources of stabilizing power.

Voltage stability is a key problem in Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) power systems. A model of a power system able to give proper stability information as a function of load converters control bandwidth is of fundamental importance, particularly if simple and of simple application. In this paper, a notional system composed by two cascaded DC-DC buck converters is considered. It is modeled at small-signals around its equilibrium point first using a complete model and then it is simplified in order to obtain the well-known Constant Power Load (CPL) model. Furthermore, an intermediate (reduced-order) model between the complete one and the CPL is proposed, which is able to show proper conditions on the load converter bandwidth to assure stability. Small-signals numerical simulations are used to validate the proposed complete and reduced-order models comparing results.

The peculiarities of the European inland waterway transport are analyzed, and a novel design of a pushboat for barges convoys is proposed and optimized for the Rhine-Danube corridor. To this aim, a hybrid parallel electric propulsion system is adopted with the perspective to define an eco-friendly vessel. This paper is to be intended as the early stage in the proof of concept for commercial technologies useful for the electrification of pushboats employed in inland waterway navigation. Specifically, the optimal design solution is highlighted by evaluating proper attribute weights, which determine the degree of closeness among possible solution and the design target. In particular, computer-aided synthesis modeling methodology to minimize capital expenditures and operating expenses of a pushboat is adopted.

Sustainable mobility is an essential issue to take for the town planning of a great city. When a high tourist flow is present, the city should be provided of low pollutant emission vehicles for the public transport in order to preserve the environment. Venice is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the urban public transport is almost exclusively carried out by boats. This paper deals with the design of a new small passenger craft to be operated in the Venice Lagoon with hybrid-electric propulsion. An innovative hullform has been conceived in order to get wave reduction useful to lower both the impact on the foundations of buildings and the energy consumption of the craft. Moreover, a suitable LVDC Integrated Power System has been adopted to enable the Zero Emission Mode navigation.

This contribution starts with a review of the state of the art of existing high-voltage shore connection (HVSC) systems in terms of principles, rules, publications, technologies, and relevant installations. Then, tutorial sections present the main technical aspects of HVSC systems as ship-to-shore interface, shore equipment (transformers, converters, etc.), onboard devices (cubicles, shore switchboard, etc.), operating sequences, and feasibility aspects, for both commercial and military applications. Finally, some technical challenges are presented, concerning intentional/unintentional bonding, interactions between HVSC bonding and cathodic protection systems, bonding opportunity, and electrical safety aspects related to bonding issues in case of large earth fault currents in port facilities.

Ships have witnessed an astounding evolution in the last 200 years. The introduction of the combustion engine has started an ever-faster change, both in the performance and functionality given by the ships. From the steam-powered ships of the early 1800s to the modern diesel-electric ships, the improvements were significant and increasingly rapid. In particular, in the last 30 years, the design of ships has made a huge leap ahead, both in terms of efficiency of the entire vessel and new functions given to the owners. This is due to the progressive electrification that has occurred.
