Renewable energy systems and electric vehicles (EVs) are receiving much attention in industrial and scholarly communities owing to their roles in reducing pollutant emissions. Integrated energy systems (IES), which connect different types of renewable energies and storages, have become common in many applications, such as the grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) and battery systems, fuel cells and battery/supercapacitor in EVs. The advantages of all energy sources are maximized by utilizing connection and control strategies. Because many storage systems and household loads are mainly direct current (DC) types, the DC grid has considerable potential for increasing the efficiency of distribution grids in the future. In IES and future DC grid systems, the triple active bridge (TAB) converter is an isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter that has many advantages as a core circuit. Therefore, this paper reviews the characteristics of the TAB converter in current applications and suggests next-generation applications. First, the characteristics and operation modes of the TAB converter are introduced. An overview of all current applications of the TAB converter is then presented. The advantages and challenges of the TAB converter in each application are discussed. Thereafter, the potential future applications of the TAB converter with an adaptable power transmission design are presented.

“…In this context, as already stated, the extensive electrification of transportation systems has become an appealing technology compared to the traditional fuel-driven ones, even for marine applications, where the widely known all-electric ship (AES) solution would allow to introduce many technologies and practices already adopted in land-based applications [12] - [16]. Technologies such as energy storage systems (ESS), variable frequency drives (VFDs) and practices such as unit commitment (UC), power system dispatch (PSD) and demand side management (DSM) have been barely introduced in most cases, [17] - [21].…”

The recent worldwide effort on the environmental issue has led to new regulations on greenhouse gases emissions (GHG), both for land and marine applications. Nowadays, the extensive electrification of transportation systems is a promising choice for this purpose. In this perspective, algorithms for the optimum sizing and management of energy storage systems (ESSs) integrated into already operating shipboard power systems are proposed in this work. The main aim of this method is reducing the power generation system fuel oil consumption, GHG emissions and management costs. This is applied to two case studies (i.e. a ferry and a platform supply vessel), of which load power profiles are available from the on-board integrated automation system (IAS). The results yielded show remarkable savings close to 6% and 32% along the whole ship's life horizon for the ferry and the platform supply vessel, respectively. These results prove that an optimal sizing combined with an optimum management of ESSs may significantly reduce the operative costs of shipboard power systems.

“…The extensive electrification of naval power systems, widely known as All-electric ships (AES) has become the preferred solution for surface vessels, cruisers, and passenger ships [1]. AES typically comprise a power generation module, optimal power management, an energy storage module, and the exploitation of green power technology [2] , a power conversion module, an electric propulsion module.…”

A significant effort to produce more efficient and environmentally-friendly ships has led to the development of certain number of new concepts, of which on board electrification is a very good example. The optimal power management of the propulsion system can lead to a substantial improvement of ship efficiency ensuring both compliance with environmental constraints and lower energy consumption. In this paper, an optimal control strategy is proposed on a new naval propulsion system architecture based on the Double Fed Induction Machine (DFIM). The method is based on the power consumed by the propulsion system; several control techniques are evaluated in order to define a control law assuring lower losses for Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) and gas emissions. A simulation and experimental test are carried out to validate the proposed statements.
