Present and Future of All-Electric Ships in Navy Ships Based on Renewable Energy[ ]


Ten years ago the Naval shipbuilders went toward “ALL – Electric Ships” AESs technique. That enabling all ship’s electric loads to supply from the same power source. Old techniques in electric ships separated the propulsion power system from the ship’s service loads. Naval ships consider as an island micro-grid power system powered from the generation system and required high-density power for several types of loads. The high electric power demand, increasing the fossil fuel cost and the constraints from the international marine organizations to reduce the ship’s emissions lead to looking for another clean and sustainable sources for the ship power to meet the growth in power demands.
