When a fault occurs in a shipboard integrated power system, traditional reconfiguration strategies only adopt simple switching operations to change the system topology so as to isolate the faulty area. However, such strategies have limitations. For instance, under some specific operating conditions, the propulsion load is not allowed to lose power completely, and certain critical loads cannot tolerate power interruption. Considering that the propulsion load is a high-power load compared with other loads in the shipboard integrated power system, the navigation speed can be reduced according to the relationship between speed and power in the reconfiguration strategy to ensure the power supply of other loads. In addition, traditional optimization methods also suffer from drawbacks, such as being prone to local optima or failing to solve the fault reconfiguration problem of the shipboard integrated power system in real time. Therefore, this paper uses the DQN method to simulate and verify the proposed objective function under cruise operating conditions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and real-time performance of the proposed method.
Natural disasters can split distribution networks into isolated microgrids, and the remaining local storage is often not enough to keep critical loads supplied until repairs start. Mobile emergency power vehicles (MEPVs) are useful in bridging this gap, but their dispatch is easily distorted when travel time is treated as static and battery charging is treated as constant-rate. This paper studies MEPV routing and load restoration under scenario-based road degradation and non-linear constant-current/constant-voltage (CC-CV) charging. A limited-communication setting is also stated explicitly, since post-disaster information is usually intermittent rather than fully real-time. The resulting scheduling problem is solved by an Improved Adaptive Harmony Search (IAHS) algorithm. IAHS keeps the harmony–memory structure but moves binary load decisions through a continuous latent space before threshold decoding, so that the differential update can use population differences without repeatedly disturbing load variables that have already become stable. Tests on a six-area system show higher average recovery and lower dispersion than HS, AHS, GHS, and AHS with standard BDE. Additional road-degradation sensitivity tests and single-MEPV scale-up tests show that the method remains feasible under stronger road deterioration and that computation time grows in a manageable way as the number of load variables increases.
