“…Due to the safety-critical nature of the ship's power plant and electric system, the maritime industry is looking to learn from the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries that have experienced the paradigm shift due the huge impact of information and communication technology. This has led to new standards, certification, and classification schemes related to integrated systems development and more extensive use of simulator-based training and verification technologies, [75], [76]. Future visions for unmanned and autonomous shipping, [77], [78], are indicators of the opportunities and challenges that are emerging.…”

Abstract-The evolution of the use of electricity in marine vessels is presented and discussed in this article in an historical perspective. The historical account starts with its first commercial use in the form of light bulbs on the SS Columbia in 1880 for illumination, going forward through use in hybrid propulsion systems with steam turbines and diesel engines and then transitioning to the present with the first fully electric marine vessel based entirely on the use of batteries in 2015. Electricity use is discussed not only in the light of its many benefits but also of the challenges introduced after the emergence of the marine vessel electrical power system. The impact of new conversion technologies like power electronics, battery energy storage, and the DC power system on overall energy efficiency, power quality, and emission level is discussed thoroughly. The article guides the reader through this development, the present and future challenges by calling attention to the future research needs and the need to revisit standards that relate to power quality, safety, integrity, and stability of the marine vessel power system, which are strongly impacted by the way electricity is used in the marine vessel.

“…The NTNU Marine Vessel and Power Plant System Simulator [6,7] combines the vessel dynamics with the motion control system, including the power system, thus spanning from the hydrodynamic to the electromechanical domain. The model is proven valuable for scenario-based control [8] and consequence analysis [9].…”

This paper adapts a structure preserving model to on-board power plants. The model, originally developed for land-based power systems, is expanded for the larger frequency range allowable to on-board plants. State-space equations are developed from first principles and transformed to a form suitable for analysis and computer implementation. Recommendations for parameter selection are given. An example plant scenario is simulated both in the proposed framework and in a higher fidelity model for comparison.

Modern marine electric propulsion vessels have many systems. These interactions and integration aspects are essential when studying a system and subsystem behavior. This is especially important when considering fault scenarios, harsh weather, and complex marine operations. However, many simulators, including a selection presented here, study the positioning system and the power system separately. This paper proposes a simulator combining the two systems, as an extension to the marine systems simulator MATLAB/Simulink library. The intended use cases and the according design choices are presented. New subsystem models include a power-based electrical bus model and a simplified diesel engine model. Both are validated through the simulation against established models. In addition, established models for generators, electrical storage devices, thrusters, and a mean-value diesel engine model are summarized with rich references. Three case studies illustrate the multi-domain use of the simulator: 1) a semi-submersible drilling rig performing station keeping under environmental disturbances; 2) the same vessel subject to an electrical bus reconfiguration; and 3) a supply vessel with a hybrid power plant.INDEX TERMS Marine technology, marine vehicles, power system simulation, dynamic positioning.
