Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice is based on current electrical
engineering methods and practices for applying 1 kV to 35 kV MVDC
power distribution and DC power delivery systems on ships.
Recommendations are made for analytical methods, preferred
interconnection interfaces and performance characteristics for
reliable integration of MVDC electrical components into the ship
electrical power systems.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to recommend a methodology for
analysis and specifications parameters for 1 kV to 35 kV MVDC power
systems on ships. It will describe impact of MVDC on all electrical
components and will formulate requirements on proper interfaces,
sizing, life cycle cost, weight, efficiency and risk reduction of
MVDC power systems implementation. It will compliment the IEEE Std
45™-2002.1
