How scattering parameters can benefit the development of all-electric ships

The power distribution system of future all-electric ships is expected to be different from typical terrestrial power distribution systems in a number of areas including grounding schemes and common-mode coupling to the ship hull. Simulation tools currently used to model terrestrial power systems do not take these differences into account. Scattering parameters are suggested to help validating existing models, support the development of specialized models for shipboard power systems, and ultimately facilitate the design of all-electric ships. This paper provides an overview of scattering parameter related activities within the Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium (ESRDC).
