Modeling and Analysis of the SUNY-Maritime College New Training Ship Power System with BESS

I n this paper, we model and analyze the new SUNY-Maritime College's National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV). The shipboard power system of this new diesel-electric ship is investigated through performance analysis under multiple critical contingency scenarios. Furthermore, the existing shipboard power system is modified by integrating battery energy storage systems (BESS) and its performance is analyzed and compared with the primary design. The objective is to provide a real hybrid shipboard microgrid with the integration of energy storage systems to further improve the operation of future ships' electrical systems. Obtained results validate the performance of integrated energy storage systems in a real shipboard power system. Finally, a comparison is undertaken to compare the performance of the system with and without the integrated BESS. The outcome shows promising improvement in the operation of the modified marine power system under multiple scenarios.
