“…It is true that this reference design includes provisions for shipboard use, which make it less power dense than its commercial counterpart. In [3], since the commercial MMC Si converter is reported to have a power density of 0.201 MW/m 3 while that for shipboard use is 0.137 MW/m…”

“…A cursory look at commercially available converters with these specifications would indicate that a power density of at least 0.4 MW/m 3 is common in multi-level industrial converters and is often higher [10]. This is twice the power density of the commercial MMC converter used as reference in [3]. The difference can only be attributed to the different topologies used, since most commercial converters are based on the Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) topology instead of the MMC topology.…”

“…A contribution to such holistic design approach is the study done within the ESRDC of SiC converters specifically for shipboard duty [3][4]. The intent was to avoid macroscopic safety design factors but base all on realistic and realizable hardware implementation suitable for deployment on a Navy vessel.…”

“…This is certainly the case of Si based converters for 12 kV dc service. The study in [3] used as reference a commercial MMC converter using Si devices, which most likely had no provision for reducing switching losses, since this is the norm in the commercial market. Switching losses are by far the dominant losses in high switching frequency applications like those envisioned for shipboard applications, typically dwarfing conduction losses.…”

Abstract-The US Navy's recent reduction of the dc bus voltage for the new surface combatant, from the original 20 kV to the new target of 12 kV, opens up the design space to a broader range of options than was possible to date. This paper is an attempt to address the opportunities and risks associated with the adoption of multi-level topologies and Silicon-Carbide switches in the design of power converters for the new ships when compared with a more evolutionary innovative path offered by using soft-switching topologies with Silicon switch technology.

“…The MMC-based PGM active rectifier has particular value to "breaker-less" protection architectures and is well-suited to PEBB based implementations because of its modular nature [20], [21]. In prior work the author have investigated the derivation of MMC scaling laws derived from commercial equipment [14] and from an optimization process where maximum power density was the objective [22], [3]. In this thesis, the virtual prototyping process, from which scaling laws can be derived, incorporates a genetic algorithm to arrive at the best possible inductor designs, inlet coolant temperature and bus voltage (which establish the PGM rating) [23].…”

The U.S. Navy is currently challenged to develop new ship designs under compressed schedules. These ship designs must necessarily incorporate emerging technologies for high power energy conversion in order to enable smaller ship designs with a high degree of electrification and next generation electrified weapons. One way this challenge is being addressed is through development of collaborative concurrent design environment that allows for design space exploration across a wide range of implementation options. The most significant challenge is assurance of a dependable power and energy service via the shipboard Integrated Power and Energy System (IPES). The IPES is largely made up of interconnected power conversion and distribution equipment with allocated functionalities in order to meet demanding Quality of Power, Quality of Service and Survivability requirements. Feasible IPES implementations must fit within the ship hull constraints and must not violate limitations on ship displacement. This Thesis applies the theory DEDICATION Firstly, I would like to thank my professor Robert Cuzner for giving me opportunity to work with Metamodeling using Genetic Algorithm project. He guided me in every step of the entire research. He provided me with different exposures in the trending in the current industry I am thankful to my fellow colleague Thomas Nguyen from University of Wisconsin-Madison who helped me throughout this research. I would also like to thank Mahitha Voola for the moral support thought out my masters. Last but not the least, I would like to thank my Mother, she is always the first person I call on for advice. She is not just my mother, but my counselor and friend and I will always grateful for all the sacrifice. v

Pulse width modulation (PWM) methods play a major role to control the various power electronic converters to progress the recital of the system. In this paper, a comparative analysis is done for three dimensional space vector modulation (3D-SVM) and four dimensional space vector modulation (4D-SVM) for five-phase voltage source inverter. 3D-SVM method comprises all qualities of conventional SVM; switching time calculation is simple and much suitable for three-phase system; where in five-phase system, it has redundant switching state vectors. 4D-SVM includes advantages of 3D-SVM and other conventional methods, it employs only nonredundant switching state vectors; it directs to diminish the intricacy in switching time calculations and avoids trigonometric calculations and look up tables for reference vector identification. The various parameters such as total harmonic distortion, improved output voltage, minimized common mode voltage and switching time calculation are analyzed and compared for 3D-SVM and 4D-SVM techniques. Simulation and hardware results are acquired and established using matlab simulink and FPGA processor, respectively.
