Abstract

The Hybrid Power System Test-bed currently being constructed at NAVSEA Philadelphia is designed to serve as a developmental platform for the evaluation of hybrid power and propulsion options related to unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Prior to component integration, a Matlab/Simulink model of the test-bed was created to simulate the system interactions and assist in the detailed electrical design. A reduced order system model was required before a detailed analysis of the individual components was performed. This paper describes the evolution of the test-bed model and the work to date in developing detailed component models for the system.
