System Design Considerations for Vehicle-basedMobile Electric Power Applications

摘要

Many of today's mission systems require mobility and transportability. Therefore, they cannot be tetheredto utility power or stationary generators. The industry response has been to use vehicle-based mobileelectric power systems. The applications are growing in number, and have common problems that mustbe solved by the power systems engineers. The purpose of this paper is to discuss design considerationsfor vehicle-based mobile electric power systems. We will discuss a case study of a vehicle-based missionpower system application, the specific needs associated with the application, and technologies beingdeveloped to address them. General strategies for vehicle power system architecture, conversion anddistribution, control and management, and built-in-test will be outlined. A sample power system simulationmodels will be demonstrated. Design practices for power system grounding and protection will besummarized. The author will share his experiences and lessons learned developing military andcommercial power systems for vehicle-based missions.
