Abstract

ABSTRACT The primary electric power system of ships has been based on the alternating current (AC) system for a long time. However, marine engineers started to question the efficiency of the AC-grid system, which was previously taken for granted and attempted to find a more efficient and eco-friendly electric power distribution system. Following this trend in the marine industry, the direct current (DC) system was adopted for the electric distribution system in ships and combined with the AC-grid. In this regard, this paper presents the technical, economic, and environmental benefits of the DC-grid system for marine applications. Ships that have already applied or plan to apply the DC-grid system are categorized into several types. Additionally, some technical considerations focused on the fault protection topology, the power-sharing (balancing) topology, power quality/stability issues, power source control methods, DC arc flash hazard, and international regulations/standards regarding DC-grid ships are reviewed. Lastly, the prospects of the DC-grid system in ships are addressed with a conclusion.

船舶直流电网系统:效益和技术考虑的研究

长期以来，船舶一次电力系统一直以交流系统为基础。然而，海洋工程师开始质疑交流电网系统的效率，这种系统以前被认为是理所当然的，他们试图找到一种更高效、更环保的电力分配系统。随着船舶工业的发展，船舶配电系统采用直流系统，并与交流电网相结合。在这方面，本文介绍了用于船舶的直流电网系统的技术、经济和环境效益。已经应用或计划应用直流电网系统的船舶分为几种类型。此外，还对故障保护拓扑结构、功率共享(平衡)拓扑结构、电能质量/稳定性问题、电源控制方法、直流电弧闪弧危害以及有关直流电网船舶的国际法规/标准等方面的一些技术考虑进行了综述。最后，对船舶直流电网系统的发展前景进行了展望。
