Modular integrated power corridor

The modular, integrated power corridor design for ships creates a cost-effective but robust method of meeting the intensive needs of the warship of the future. The power corridor described in this paper integrates the functionality of power transfer, conversion, isolation and storage in individual modules that are fabricated off-hull and easily integrated shipboard. The individual building modules are consistent with one another and have standardized functionality, hardware and control interfaces. This modularity, standardization and off-hull construction combined should significantly reduce both construction and life-cycle costs. The final product of his paper is a detailed model of a sample power corridor arrangement.
