Methods for Improving the Quality of Electric Power in the Unified Marine Power Systems

Abstract

At present, the unified electric-power systems using multilevel converters, Azipod systems, various types of screw-rotor columns, and new types of electric motors have become widespread. These power systems make it possible to provide high quality of consumed power, as well as to increase the reliability and maneuverability of marine vessels. In this paper, the requirements for modern unified electric-power systems and the methods to control electricity parameters have been considered.
