| | Challenges and limitations of All Electric Ship Designs
By A.J. Blokland; E. Van Dijk | |

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.
