This is an extension of our previous blog relating a ship's power system to a microgrid - interconnected loads (propulsion, C4ISR, propulsion, and auxiliary) and distributed energy resources (power generation, distribution, and energy storage) acting as a controllable entity. We will be describing a layman’s perspective on digital engineering as it applies to microgrid design, building, commissioning, operation, and maintenance or lifecycle of a ship.

Shipboard Microgrid

The ship is a microgrid with interconnected loads (propulsion, C4ISR, propulsion and auxiliary) and distributed energy resources (power generation, distribution and energy storage) acting as a controllable entity. This is not a new concept. However, it is one that is taking on far greater significance with the increasing electrification and computerized control of naval and merchant marine ships.
