    I. INTRODUCTION

    NEXT generation warships will be featured with integrated

    power system (IPS) which incorporates a set of primary

    and auxiliary power sources to provide the prolusion power

    and at the same time to energize the shipboard electric loads[1]-[2]. Coupled with the integration of power generation sys-

    tems, the introduction of new technologies such as advanced

    power electronic systems [3], intelligent control systems and

    the state-of-the-art energy storage technologies [4] necessitates

    the real-time power management and power system recon-

    figuration, especially in situations of equipment failure and

    battle damage. The main objective of the power management

    is to ensure the continues power supply for the electric loads,

    thereby augmenting the reliability and survivability of the

    Shipboard Power System (SPS), and consequently enhancing

    the mission effectiveness of the warship.

    The power network associated with the All Electric Ships

    (AES) typically has electric propulsion, sophisticated electricweaponry systems and ship service as electric loads. To

    This work was sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR)under Grants No. N00014-03-1-0983 and N00014-05-1-0533.

    enhance the reliability and survivability of the power dis-

    tribution network, zonal electric distribution system (ZEDS)

    was introduced [5]-[6]. Unlike the convectional radial electric

    distribution system which radially distributes power to the

    loads through load centers, ZEDS employs two main buses

    (starboard bus and port bus) to provide redundant power flow

    paths for vital loads. With the introduction of Power Electronic

    Block Building (PEBB) [7]-[8], the ZEDS could seamlessly

    and dynamically reconfigure the power flow pathes in response

    to different priorities of loads for different real time battlescenarios.

    Fig. 1. One-line Diagram of Shipboard Integrated Power System.

    Fig.1 illustrates a one-line diagram of the IPS with the

    zonal architecture. The IPS is mainly comprised of power

    generation module (PGM), power conversion module (PCM),energy storage module (ESM), electric propulsion module

    (EPM) and vital/nonvital loads. Power generation module

    could be gas turbine, diesel engine or fuel cell. Reconfiguration

    of the power system shown in Fig.1 is achieved through

    the power electronic converters, which redirect the power

    flow and control the power distribution to individual loads.

    Since these power sources have different response time and

    the loads have different operating characteristics, dynamic

    optimal power management is critical to the power system

    stability, efficiency and performance. The power management

    system has to face several challenges brought up by the IPS,

    including: (1) How to coordinate the power converters with

    power sources to ensure uninterrupted power supply to vital

    loads? (2) How to reconfigure the system to achieve optimal

    efficiency and maximum reliability? and (3) How to fulfill

    the reconfiguration to ensure the power quality and system

    operation integrity during transients?To address the multi-disciplinary issues associated with the

    AES, advanced analytical and numerical tools are critical to

    enable the model-based investigation and system optimization.

    With the support from ONR, a real-time simulation platform

    for shipboard power system has been established at the Uni-

    versity of Michigan to support the research and education

    activities related to AES initiatives. In the following sections,

    we will discuss the platform construction, IPS modeling and

    integration as well as GUI development.

    I I . SIMULATOR HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

    Fig. 2. RT-Lab Real-time Simulation System Configuration.

    As described in the introduction section, the IPS is a large

    scale power electronics based electrical network system which

    contains many high frequency power switches. These switches

    are highly nonlinear and time consuming to simulate. Building

    a simulator for such an electrical system is always a challenge,

    given the system cost, required simulation accuracy and de-

    sired flexibility. Other than analogy simulator which achieves

    real-time simulation by using scaled down analogue models

    of actual components, digital simulator becomes the trend due

    to its low maintenance cost and flexibility. Many offline sim-

    ulation packages including MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS,

    SABER, etc., can perform offline simulation, but they either

    cant interact with external hardware or their simulation speedare very slow for large scale system simulation. Real-time

    digital simulator is a promising approach since they avoid

    those drawbacks. In comparison with DSP and FPGA based

    real-time simulator, the PC cluster based simulation system

    would be better choice considering the low hardware cost, high

    simulation performance as well as the flexibility provided by

    the modular system architecture. RT-LAB is a PC-cluster

    based expendable real-time simulator which is compatible

    with Matlab/Simulink, thereby allowing effective leverage of

    commercially available MATLAB/Simulink toolsets, such as

    Control System Design and Analysis toolboxes, Code Genera-

    tion toolboxes, and Physical Modeling toolboxes. Specialized

    tools such as ARTEMIS and RT-Events support multi-rate

    fixed-time-step real-time simulation of power systems with

    dramatically improved computation speed and accuracy [9].

    Fig.2 shows the configuration of the system. This system has

    8 CPUs allocated in 4 physically separated targets. The CPUsin the same target exchange information through the shared

    memory while the different targets communicate through in-

    finiband switch with 10Gb/s speed. There are three host PCs

    which can talk with each target via 1Gb/s Ethernet switch.

    The targets can interact with the external hardware through

    32bits PCI Bus I/O interfaces. Combining the FPGA event

    detection with specialized real-time interpolation algorithms

    toolbox RT-Events, the effective preciseness of the I/O could

    be better than 1s. The I/O interface provides a platform for

    data acquisition and signal conditioning modules that enable

    the implementation of high frequency analog/digital I/O, event

    capture, event generation. All of the targets and CPUs are

    synchronized either by software or by hardware. Thus all of theCPUs can synchronously interact with the analog and digital

    I/O. This feature make it possible for the system to implement

    physical components for hardware-in-the-loop simulation or

    to perform fast control prototyping experiments. Besides, the

    synchronized targets can run real-time simulation at different

    time step, making it very flexible to distribute the complex

    model to different targets or CPUs within the simulation

    platform. This real-time simulator also can interact with other

    stand along RT-Lab targets through Ethernet. The stand along

    target could be used as experiment data acquisition device or

    any real-time simulation subsystems for AES.

    In parallel with hardware construction, the modularized

    model of IPS is developed and will be introduced in thefollowing section.

    III. MODULARIZED MODELING OF IPS

    Since the IPS is a large scale power system containing many

    high frequency power switches or other components whose

    simulation is very resource demanding, it is time consuming

    to simulate and debug such a large system offline. On the other

    hand, parameters tuning of this complex system as a whole is

    a daunting, if not impossible, task. Furthermore, many of the

    subsystem in ZEDS are similar and can be reused. Therefore,

    modularized modeling approach is adopted for the IPS simu-

    lation. We split the whole IPS into power generation module

    (Gas Turbine and Fuel Cell), electric propulsion module andthe ZEDS. ZEDS, by itself, consists of many power conversion

    modules and electric loads.

    A. Gas Turbine Module

    While many different types of power systems are used for

    shipboard applications, gas turbine/generator sets are quite

    often used as the shipboard prime mover. A combination of

    first principles and empirical relationships have been used for

    the gas turbine model development [10]. The schematic of the

    397

    gas turbine model developed for the ship-board power system

    is shown in Fig. 3. The representation for the gas turbine model

    Fig. 3. Schematic of the Fuel Cell system.

    consists of the compressor, turbine, combustor models and

    rotational dynamics capturing the coupling between turbine

    and compressor. The compressor and turbine are modeled

    using empirical relations by regressing the corresponding

    performance maps [12]. The important dynamics modeled are

    the temperature and mass of the fuel burnt in the combustor

    and rotational speed of the turbocharger [13]. The gas turbine

    drives the power generation device which converts mechanical

    power to electrical power and generates three-phase AC power

    with 4160V L-L voltage and 60Hz frequency. For the partic-

    ular system modeled in this platform, the total power output

    is between 255 KW to 1.4 MW. The open loop simulations

    the gas turbine has a fast second order response.

    B. Fuel Cell Module

    The Fuel Cell (FC), which is clean and highly efficient,

    is considered as an auxiliary power source for the IPS. The

    shipboard application uses fuel processing system (FPS) to get

    pure hydrogen from natural gas. Other models representing

    different fuel reforming technology, such as the auto thermal

    reforming (ATR) for diesel fuel can also be incorporated. The

    fuel processing is typically slower as compared to the fuel cell.

    The FC-FPS model developed by J.Pukrushpan et.al. [11] was

    adopted, whose schematic is shown in Figure 5. The represen-

    Fig. 5. Schematic of the Fuel Processing system.

    tation of the FC-FPS model consists of hydro-desulphurizer

    (HDS), catalytic partial oxidizer (CPOX), water gas shift

    (WGS) and preferential oxidizer (PROX), anode and stack

    voltage sub models. The HDS, WROX (WGS + PROX) are

    modeled as first order lags. The important dynamics modeled

    are CPOX temperature, anode pressure and partial pressure of

    hydrogen in anode. The stack voltage model in [11] computes

    the voltage output of the stack as a function of the loadcurrent, anode and cathode pressures and membrane hydration.

    The output of the FC system is connected to the DC-Link in

    PCM4 through a DC/DC converter. For the particular system

    modeled, the total power output of the FC-FPS is between 80

    KW to 330 KW. The open loop simulations for step changes

    in fuel cell load current are shown in Figure 6. It can be seen

    that the fuel cell has a slower response, compared to that ofthe gas turbine/generator set. The hydrogen starvation in the

    fuel cell due the the slow reformer dynamics is reflected in the

    instantaneous increase followed by a dip in the power output.

    C. ZEDS Module

    Fig.1 shows the diagram of a two-zone IPS which has

    PGM, EPM, ESM and ZEDS. Since DC zonal architecture has

    many advantages over AC zonal architecture [6] for shipboard

    application, DC ZEDS was adopted in our model. The key

    398

  • 8/4/2019 All Electric Ship Integrated Power Systems

    components of DC ZEDS are vital/non vital loads and power

    conversion modules whose diagram are shown in Fig.7 and

    Fig.8. The models for individual components are discussed

    briefly in the sequel.

    Fig. 7. SimPowerSystems/ARTEMIS Model of PCM1 in ZEDS.

    1) PCM1: Fig.7 shows the model of PCM1. PCM1 is a

    step down DC/DC converter with three reconfigurable switch-boards. The step down DC/DC converter is modeled with

    the 1-leg Time-Stamped Bridge of the ARTEMIS toolbox

    while other components are modeled with SimPowerSystems

    toolbox. Manipulating the three switchboards can reconfigure

    power flow path of each electric zone. DC bus failure and

    recovery emulation also can be achieved by the manipulation

    of switchboards. The output voltage of PCM1 is 900VDC

    which is 200V less than the main bus. The loads of PCM1 are

    one nonvital load and one vital load under normal situation.

    One vital load will be added if the opposite main bus or

    PCM4/PCM1 is down because of either equipment failure or

    battle damage.

    2) PCM2/5: Fig.8a shows the diagram of PCM2/5. PCM2/5

    is DC/AC inverter which is modeled with SimPowerSystems

    Compatible 3-leg Time-Stamped Bridge of the ARTEMIS

    toolbox. Since they energize the vital load which shouldnt

    lose power by any chance, there is an auto bus transfer

    (ABT) circuit which can automatically select power input

    port between the upper input and lower input. Usually the

    upper input has higher priority than the lower one and will be

    dropped only when its voltage decreased to 100V lower than

    the lower input. However, to balance load for the two DC bus,

    the upper input will take over again if its voltage is recovered

    to 50V higher than the lower input.

    3) PCM3/6: Fig.8b shows the diagram of PCM3/6.

    PCM3/6 is DC/DC converter which is modeled with the 1-leg

    Time-Stamped Bridge of the ARTEMIS toolbox too. There

    is no ABT in PCM3/6 given the nonvital nature of the loadsconnected to it. The nonvital load will directly lose its power

    if the main bus or sub-bus on its side is down.

    4) PCM4: Fig.8c is the diagram of PCM4 which conven-

    tionally is an AC/DC converter converting three-phase AC

    power to DC power by controlling the rectifier firing angle.

    For our model, PCM4 has hybrid power sources, AC main

    bus and fuel cell, the output of AC/DC was connected with

    output of the DC/DC converter of fuel cell model through DC-

    Link. The proportion of power drawn from AC bus and fuel

    cell respectively can be dynamically managed by splitting the

    desired current to the two input converters. To get well regu-

    lated DC voltage on the port bus and starboard bus, there are

    starboard side and port side output DC/DC converters drawingpower from DC-Link and regulating the voltage on the two

    DC buses to 1100VDC. The modeling of the two output

    DC/DC converter is similar to the DC/DC converter in PCM1,

    the buck converter topology is adopted and modeled with

    SimPowerSystems Compatible 1-leg Time-Stamped Bridge

    of the ARTEMIS toolbox. Both of the output converters are

    regulated by PI controller.

    5) Load: Vital/nonvital load was modeled as constant

    power load. All of the loads can draw certain amount of

    power from DC bus according to the command from energy

    management module. More complex load like DC motor or

    AC motor also could be modeled and integrated in the future.

    D. Propulsion Module

    1) Electric Propulsion Model: Electric propulsion model is

    a three-phase AC/DC/AC variable speed transmission system

    with the low speed, high torque Permanent Magnet Syn-

    chronous Motor (PMSM) driving the propeller. The AC/DC

    rectifier is modeled with SimPowerSystems toolbox Uni-

    versal Bridge. There is also a braking chopper on the DC-

    Link to absorb the regenerated energy by the motor at the

    crash stop situation. The DC/AC inverter which works as the

    frequency converter and drives the propulsion PMSM is mod-

    eled with Time-Stamped Bridge of the ARTEMIS toolbox and

    controlled by a close loop speed controller. Except for three-

    phase AC/DC/AC propulsion system, other AC propulsiontechnologies such as cycloconvertor [14], matrix converter [15]

    and high temperature superconductor (HTS) motor [16] also

    can be modeled and integrated into the propulsion modulein

    the future.

    2) Ship Dynamic Model: The load torque to the eletric

    propulsion motor is determined by the ship dynamic model,

    which calculates the ship speed and propeller speed according

    to hydrodynamics. The ship model given in [17] is adapted.

    It includes the added mass and hydrodynamic forces and

    399

  • 8/4/2019 All Electric Ship Integrated Power Systems

    5/6

    moments acting on the ship. Given a desired ship speed, the

    desired motor speed and torque are calculated in this module

    and fed to the propulsion motor control unit.

    IV. MODEL INTEGRATION, DISTRIBUTION AND

    PRELIMINARY SIMULATION

    A. Model Integration and Distribution

    There are two stages for the IPS model integration. Firstof all, ZEDS module and propulsion module are integrated

    and tested respectively. As we discussed in the previous

    sections, the key components of ZEDS, loads and PCMs, are

    separately developed and tested. After that, all of the PCMs

    and loads are interconnected and form the two zones ZEDS.

    The integration of ship dynamic model and propulsion model

    is quite straightforward too. The desired propeller torque and

    speed signals which is calculated by ship dynamic model are

    sent to the motor in the propulsion model. Then ZEDS and

    propulsion modules are connected with the power generation

    module.

    The IPS is a large scale system which has many subsystems

    with different characteristics. For example, the dynamic of G/Tand FC are relative slow, 1ms time step is sufficient. On the

    other hand, PCMs have high frequency power switches, the

    subsystem time step is 50s in our case which is much shorter

    than PGMs. To get a relative balanced computation task distri-

    bution among all CPUs for better simulation performance, one

    has to distribute the model properly into the 8-CPU simulator.

    There are several considerations that need to be taken into

    account in allocating resource: (1) The subsystem assigned

    to CPU should not be too complicated, otherwise overruns

    will result in poor simulation performance; (2) Since real-

    time communication between targets is a resource demanding

    process, it is advantageous to assign a modularized subsystem

    as one entity to one CPU instead of splitting the subsystem intoseveral parts to reduce the number of signals to be exchanged

    between targets; (3) Each CPU can run real-time simulation

    with one sampling rate, subsystems with slow sampling speed

    can be grouped with the subsystem with fast sampling speed.

    Given these constraints, we assign one CPU for subsystems

    PGM(Gas Turbine), PGM(Fuel Cell) and EPM while splitting

    the ZEDS into two subsystems with two associated CPUs.

    Additional subsystems such as energy storage subsystem and

    power management subsystem will be developed and assigned

    to left CPUs in the future.

    Another challenge for model distribution is that all of

    the distributed subsystems exchange information through RT-

    LAB block-OpComm which is only compatible with ar-rowlines. Arrowline indicates the unidirectional signal flow

    and is the default connection for Simulink as well as

    many Simulink compatible toolboxes blocks. However, the

    power conversion and propulsion subsystems developed with

    SimPowerSystems toolbox use stublines by default. The

    stubline passes signals bidirectionally just as a physical wire

    would do. The incompatibility between SimPowerSystems

    sub models and OpComm blocks is resolved by customer built

    DC and AC bus models which convert the signals flow on the

    stubline into signals flow on the arrowline. These bus model

    are incorporated to appropriate locations where it is necessary

    to split the model and assign different CPUs to the subsystems.

    Based on the integrated model, some preliminary simula-

    tion is performed which will be discussed in the following

    subsection.

    Fig. 9. Power consumed by loads at failure and reconfiguration scenarios.

    Fig.9 shows power consumed by loads during a failure and

    reconfiguration process where four scenarios are represented.

    Scenario 1: the port bus or local PCM1/PCM4 is down, the

    non vital load lose its power while the vital load draw power

    from the STBD bus. Scenario 2: the port bus is reconfigured

    or the PCM1/PCM4 is recovered, all of loads draw equally

    40KW power from both bus. Scenario 3: the STBD bus isdown which leads to the STBD side nonvital load loss its

    power. The vital load works fine since it is switched to draw

    power from the port bus. Scenario 4: both buses are down,

    consequently all of the loads loss their power. This testing

    verified the failure emulation and reconfiguration capability

    of the ZEDS model, which is critical to enable the algorithm

    development of intelligent reconfiguration of ZEDS in the

    future.

    Fig.10 shows the transient of propulsion motor when the

    ship speed is accelerated from 0 knot to 8 knots. To boost

    the propeller speed, the actual torque is significantly larger

    than the desired torque during the starting up period. Both the

    actual torque and speed curves match with the desired curvesvery well after that, which confirms that the propulsion model

    captures the ship dynamic model as required.

    V. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) DEVELOPMENT

    Since the system is very complicated and many signals have

    to be sent to the console on the host PC, a single window

    console is too busy to be used to monitor the signals during

    the simulation. On the other hand, we have to interact with

    the real-time simulated model to operate the reconfigurable

    compatible with both MATLAB/Simulink and LabVIEW.

    The GUI has a multi-level structure. The top level GUI is

    similar to the structure shown in Fig.1, displayed signals can

    be used to indicate the health and status of the system. We

    are also able to navigate to each of the sub-level GUIs for

    different subsystems by clicking on their respective button. In

    the sub-level GUI, data acquisition and control signals of the

    subsystem are displayed.

    Fig. 11. Failure, Reconfiguration, Operation and Drive Scenarios GUI.

    As an example, the Failure, Reconfiguration, Operation and

    Drive Scenarios, a sub-level GUI for power management, is

    given in Fig.11. The Failure, Reconfiguration, Operation and

    Drive Scenarios GUI is the one which can set the ship speed,

    emulate PCM or DC bus failure and reconfigure power flow

    path. The buttons on the GUI, corresponding to Switch1,

    Switch2 and Switch3 of PCM1 in Fig.7, can be pushed on

    or off to emulate bus crashing or to redirect the power flow.

    Numeric boxes next to the PCMs allows manual inputs to

    change the loads associated with corresponding PCMs. The

    ship speed command knob controls ship speed. The two

    waveform charts display the desired and actual speed and

    torque for the propeller.

    VI. CONCLUSION

    The preliminary simulation results verify that the AES/IPS

    simulator can perform simulations for scenarios such as fail-

    ure emulation, power flow path reconfiguration and energy

    management. The simulator incorporating different I/O hard-

    ware can support other system development activities such as

    hardware-in-the-loop simulation and fast control prototyping.

    This simulator provides an effective platform for AES system

    research. At this moment, there are two ongoing projects using

    this simulator, one involves optimal reconfiguration energy

    management, and another deals with hybrid power system

    coordination control. A hybrid power system testbed with fast

    control prototyping capability is also under construction.
