PPL Integration Employing SMES System on Naval Vessel: Modeling and Co-Simulation

Pulsed Power Loads integration is a challenging topic in the naval industry. To meet military standard and STANAG requirements, the implementation of energy storage systems is a promising solution. In this paper, the exploitation of a superconductive magnetic energy storage system to mitigate the effect of pulsed power load is investigated. A notional shipboard power system model, including four generators and a dc pulsed power load, is implemented in DIgSILENT PowerFactory. A detailed Electromagnetic Transient Model of a superconductive magnetic energy storage system is modeled in MATLAB Simulink. A control strategy is proposed and implemented, then the co-simulation of the two models is exploited of Functional Mock-up Interface. The simulation results show how the storage system minimizes the impact of the pulsed power load on the shipboard power system.
