Assessment of Electric Power Quality in Ships＇ Modern Systems

The paper deals with the selected problems of electric power quality in ships‘ modern systems.In the introduction the fundamentals of electric power quality assessment, such as the relations and consequences among power quality phenomena and indices, secondly as the methods and tools as well as the appropriate instrumentation, have been shortly presented. Afterwards, the basic characteristic of power systems on modern ships has been given. The main focus of the paper is put on the assessment of electric power quality in ships‘ systems fitted with converter subsystems. The state of the art and actual tendencies in the discussed matter have been shown. Some chosen experimental results, based on the research carried out under supervision of the author, have been presented, too. Finally, some concluding issues have been shortly commented on.     

Facing a Problem of Electrical Energy Quality in Ship Networks-measurements, Estimation, Control

In this paper, electrical energy quality and its indices in ship electric networks are introduced,especially the meaning of electrical energy quality terms in voltage and active and reactive power distribution indices, Then methods of measurement of marine electrical energy indices are introduced in details and a microprocessor measurement-diagnosis system with the function of measurement and control is designed. Afterwards, estimation and control of electrical power quality of marine electrical power networks are introduced. And finally, according to the existing method of measurement and control of electrical power quality in ship power networks, the improvement of relative method is proposed.
