Transient overvoltage protection of shore-to-ship power supply system

It is known that unpredictable threat of transient overvoltage exits in a power system, therefore; transient overvoltage protection analysis; commonly known as insulation coordination should be performed to design cold-ironing power system. This paper provides a review of the transient surge environment, transient overvoltage analysis and application of metal-oxide surge arresters at specific locations within the shore-to-ship power supply system to enhance transient overvoltage protection.
