Theses and Dissertations

Due to recent advances in power electronics technology, DC power distribution systems offer distinct advantages over traditional AC systems for many applications such as electric vehicles, more electric aircrafts and industrial applications. For example, for the All-Electric ship proposed by the U.S. Navy the preferred design option is the adoption of a Medium Voltage DC power distribution system, due to the high power level required on board and the highly dynamic nature of the electric loads.

These DC power distribution systems consist of generation units, energy storage systems and different loads connected to one or more DC busses through switching …
