 Abstract   Enhanced safety requirements and tight economical benefits influence the merchant ship design. Life cycle costs, survivability aspects and robust design play an important role in naval architecture for the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNlN). New developments in power electronics and drives make it possible to improve the reliability of the platform and reduce life cycle costs of new ship designs. The impact in the ship design is evaluated by replacing the conventional energy system by new All Electric Ship (AES) concepts. Following lessons learned during the design and commissioning of the integrated electrical system of the PLD HNlMS Rotterdam and new hydrographic vessels a comparative analysis of the stability, EMC and load management in electrical distribution configurations is given. This paper presents a survey of the influence on reliability, life cycle costs and technical consequences applying power electronics in electrical energy naval ship system designs.
