Power Quality Study for Proposed Integrated Power System

Abstract : The body of this report consists of seven chapters, each of which describes a principal topic of research into shipboard power quality issues. These topics include: Grounding study for bus connected high impedance grounded generators, the potential of a variable frequency, variable voltage generation system for improved efficiency and pulse loading capability, motor starting capability of fixed frequency inverters, the use of wavelet analysis to detect broken rotor bars in induction motors, motor surge characteristics, the use of wavelet analysis to monitor shipboard power system faults, and the investigation of partial discharge in motor windings. This work provides the framework for improvements in the quality and performance of shipboard power systems.
