Description
Future warship power systems may be subject to pulsed loads manifesting through emergent combat systems such as directed energy weapons, associated sensors and electronic warfare equipment. The integration of combat system loads with the ship’s power system means that performance becomes intrinsically linked to combat effectiveness. Hence, understanding the capability of the power system to service such loads is vital in ensuring the operator’s ability to fight the ship.
This paper describes the challenge of pulse load integration from the perspective of the power system design authority. Modelling and simulation has been employed to study the electrical response of a representative power system when subject to a range pulse load characteristics. Subsequently, the effects of pulse loading are reviewed in terms of impact upon the prime mover. It is concluded that whilst electrical supply performance can be maintained within allowable power quality limits as defined by STANAG 1008, the mechanical effects can be to the detriment of engine life, highlighting key recommendations to understand both electrical and mechanical performance envelope in design for integration.
