A Technology Overview for a proposed Navy Surface Combatant DC Zonal Electric Distribution System

摘要

the U.S. Navy is currently investigating the implementa- tion of a DC Zonal Electric Distribution System (DC ZEDS) as a component of an Integrated Power System (IPS) for the Next generation of surface combatant. In Replacing the current ac radial distribu- Tion system, significant gains can be Realized in terms of survivability, weight, Manning and cost. DC ZEDS is predi- Cated on having electrical zones delineated By watertight bulkhead compartments.
