MARINE POWER DISTRIBUTION AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS

摘要

A power distribution system includes a a propulsion drive system including a propulsion motor 5 having superconducting rotor windings and a power converter 4. A propulsion power generation system supplies power to the propulsion drive system and includes a generator 2 having superconducting rotor windings and a power converter 3. A power generation system includes a power source 14 for supplying power to a service distribution system that includes a de distribution busbar 25, and a switchboard 16. A power converter 15 connects the power source 14 to the switchboard 16. The power converters 3 and 15 are regulated according to a power source foldback and stabilising characteristic. An electric load is supplied with power from a zonal power supply unit 23 that forms part of a zonal power distribution sub system. The electric load and the propulsion motor 5 are regulated according to a load shedding and stabilising characteristic.
