Converter topological and solid state protective device trade-offs for future shipboard MVDC systems

Abstract: The search for the optimum architecture for Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) Integrated Power Systems must take into account the short circuit protection in addition to overarching goals of efficiency, survivability and cost effectiveness. A comparison study is performed for architectures with a suitable combination of protective devices and power conversion. This leads also to an optimum MVDC bus voltage somewhere between 15kVdc and 20kVdc. Hardware implementation using packaged SiC devices, currently under developme… Show more

“…The presence of a number of factors affecting fault behavior makes the fault management of dc ZEDS a complex issue. There are several methods, techniques, and components that can be used for defining it (e.g., refer to [19]- [23]), but these are outside the scope of this article. However, some general issues and requirements need to be considered.…”

“…Optimal implementation of PEBBs, along with determination of the optimal MVDC system bus voltage and the right topological approach to power conversion equipment, such as the PGM active rectifier, is a challenge. The MMC-based PGM active rectifier has particular value to "breaker-less" protection architectures and is well-suited to PEBB based implementations because of its modular nature [20], [21]. In prior work the author have investigated the derivation of MMC scaling laws derived from commercial equipment [14] and from an optimization process where maximum power density was the objective [22], [3].…”
