Ship-wide transient specifications and criteria for Medium-Voltage DC Shipboard Power System

It is necessary to consider different design specifications and requirements for the design of Shipboard Power System (SPS) to enhance the overall system performance under various operating conditions. This paper provides a detailed list of important design criteria and performance specifications to accommodate the transient analysis for Medium-Voltage DC (MVDC) Shipboard Power Systems. It also presents the required constraints and operating regions in order to ensure the normal and safe operation of the SPS. The proposed design specifications and criteria formulations aim to provide a guideline for the SPS community from industry, academia and Navy and facilitate various aspects of design and development of the MVDC SPS applications.
