Power Control Strategy for a Ferry’s DC Power System Using Supercapacitors

Integrated power systems are gaining popularity in the field of and DC integrated considered promising for electric propulsion ships due to their simple grid topology, low fuel consumption, easy access new energy sources. However, dynamic response characteristics plant can be compromised when a variable speed generator is used system, despite achieving savings. In this research, we investigate control strategy specific type ferry’s plant. We establish mathematical model Matlab/Simulink-based simulation analyze performance proposed strategy. The research utilizes fast charging discharging advantages supercapacitor storage devices compensate impact delay output using set. Additionally, an improved bus voltage droop method that incorporates compensation mitigate problems related large fluctuations under sudden load change conditions, enabling better distribution between different results confirm effectiveness optimizing speed-seeking diesel engine sets matching with supercapacitor, its positive on system demonstrated conditions resulting from ferry operations.
