Enhanced performance by fully controlled 'smart' hybrid grid

摘要

The introduction of storage and renewable energy and storage sources on ships calls for a new design philosophy in regard to electrical power networks on board. Increasing demands for higher safety, higher reliability and less manning add to this need. Imtech Marine has carried out several hybrid projects with AC, DC-bus and full DC electrical power networks. In the company's experience, traditional AC and DC grids have reached their limits with respect to safety, reliability and controllability, prompting the need to start research into a new electrical network design philosophy.
