A design for the interface between a battery storage and charging unit, and a medium voltage DC (MVDC) bus, as part of an integrated propulsion system (IPS) in the all electric ship (AES)

In this paper we present the design of a rechargeable battery storage device for use in an all-electric ship. The purpose of this device is to provide power of predictable quality to selected equipment. In addition a recharging unit is proposed for recharging the battery from the ship's electric bus.
