Review of the State-of-the-Art in Power Electronics Suitable for 10-KW Military Power Systems

The paper presents an emerging technology of electricity generation based on decoupled theory. The decoupled generation system operates in wide speed range and control strategy is oriented to select regions of high efficiency of the driving engine. This system is used to operate in parallel with renewable energy source RES, which is unstable and not reliable. In case of high power available from the renewable, the decoupled adjustable speed generation reduces it speed, what results in low fuel consumption. However when the renewable source power decreases, the adjustable speed generation system increases its speed, following points of high efficiency of the driving Diesel engine. The paper presents topologies of the combined systems including variable speed, wind powered generation system and adjustable speed generation system driven by Diesel engine. The ability of adjustable speed to provide power is discussed.

This paper presents a new on-line methodology for detecting intermittent disconnection failures. The detection principle operates on the fundamental Lorentz Law that states that sudden changes in flux create a large voltage, resulting in an arc. This arc propagates as a traveling wave through the circuit until all the energy associated with it is dissipated. It is possible to detect that traveling wave as an indication of an intermittent disconnection failure. A test bench was implemented to test and validate the theory. Preliminary results presented in this paper show the feasibility of detecting disconnection failures and the possibility of locating the failing connector based on distance.

“…Power electronic converters, drives and related modern electric machines continue to play a more critical role in the performance and overall operation of military ships, aircraft and ground vehicles [1,2]. In addition, today's warfighters are being asked to meet new mission readiness and availability targets, insure highly reliable performance, reduce maintenance/support costs, and ultimately improve fleet longevity with less crew members and shrinking budgets.…”

This work presents an approach that addresses the concept of self-healing as a contingency management approach framed in the PHM perspective. The study is centered on developing strategies for extending the operation of power-electronics to motor-drives and electric machinery. The strategies proposed are capable of maintaining operational functionality at reduced performance during various fault conditions, as well as optimize the impact of stresses in the failing parts in the overall system. The main tradeoffs of the techniques are discussed and evaluated.
