Dynamic load management for NG IPS ships

A simplified notional Next Generation Integrated Shipboard Power System (NG IPS) model is introduced. Based on the simplified system model, dynamic load management method is presented considering equality and inequality constraints of the system. The problem is formulated as a dynamic optimization problem to maximize the energized loads in the system without violating any constraint of the system. A simplified NG IPS model is simulated in PSCAD, and three scenarios are presented to illustrate the dynamic load management method. The simulation results indicate that the dynamic performance of the shipboard power system model with load management is much better than its performance without load management.
