Introduction
Almost simultaneously at the beginning of this century Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) focused on Electric Ship Technologies which have been identified as one of the 10 emerging technological challenges of 21th Century. IEEE started its Electrical Ships Technologies Initiative and ONR created and funded Electrical Ships Research Consortium ESRDC. Concurrence of these events created unique opportunity to bring together resources of leading electric power research institutions to advance near to mid-term electric ship concepts and IEEE Standards collective practical experience of many generations of professional electrical engineers. IEEE established bi-annual Electric Ship Technologies Symposium ESTS and formed IEEE standards working groups to accelerate revision of existing and development of the new IEEE standards applicable to Electric Ship Technologies. ONR decided to support these working groups and funded ESRDC research in many standards’ related issues such as stability analyses, MVDC grounding, fault detection, arc mitigation, etc. Supporting combined efforts of IEEE and ESRDC ONR gained a perfect tool for safe and cost effective transfer of new technologies into Navy ships. According to P.L. 104-113 "The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995" Federal agencies must use voluntary consensus standards and participate in the development of such standards. The IEEE develops technical standards through an open process that brings diverse industries and academia together. These standards establish a baseline for customer’s selection and acceptance of products as well as the technical base for codes, rules and regulations by different enforcing and regulating authorities.
New IEEE Power Electronics Standards for Ships
IEEE Std. 1662?-2008
IEEE Std. 1662?-2008 “Guide for the design and application of Power Electronics in Electrical Power Systems on Ships” states that Power Electronics equipment should:
?Take self-protection actions regardless of the status of communications by
reflexive actions to maintain continuity
of power.
?Respond to internal and downstream faults.
?Sustain communications and ability to perform control actions following a loss
of input voltage to permit detection,
isolation, and system reconfiguration
following a casualty condition.
?Latch parameter values at the time of the fault and communicate status to higher
level controllers.
?Interact with other power electronics equipment for power flow management
and fault handling.
?High Resistance Grounding preferable on the source side of isolated and
otherwise ungrounded three-wire, three-
phase distribution systems with voltages
over 1000 V and aggregated power
above 1.5 MW.
? PE should have a minimum efficiency
of 95% (5% total losses) at rated load condition.PE should be provided with a overload rating of 150% for 1 min.

Table 2 Voltage variations for dc distribution
systems
Three sets of tests are generally required to be conducted on power electronics equipment:
1) Type test: Test of one or more devices made to a certain design to demonstrate that the design meets certain specifications.
2) Production test: A test conducted on every unit of equipment prior to shipment
3) Commissioning test conducted when the equipment is installed to verify correct operation (also called installation testing, dock trials, or sea trials).
Type tests should include the Insulation Test, Light Load & Function Test, Rated Current Test, Power Loss, Temperature Rise Test, as well as checking the Auxiliary Devices, Properties of the Control Equipment, and Protective Devices. Dielectric withstand-voltage tests should be performed at higher than nominal voltage over a short time interval (e.g., 1 min).
Medium-voltage PE equipment may be subject to additional testing prior to installation. Special tests should be conducted in accordance with an approved standard, such as IEEE Std. 1585TM -2002.A test plan should be submitted to the cognizant authority for review and acceptance. Medium-voltage PE equipment should be fully IEEE Std. 1709-2010
The new IEEE Std. 1709-2010 "Recommended Practice for 1 to 35 KV Medium Voltage DC Power Systems on Ships" has been approved by IEEE Standards Board on its June 2010 meeting. This standard recommends functional MVDC block diagram on Figure 1. It assumes that all electrical power sources and loads are connected to the dc bus via power electronics.
Such an approach allows limiting fault currents, relative ease of connection of different size generators, storage and loads.
The functional blocks are defined as follows:
? “Power Generation” ” is primarily a
power source which converts prime energy from fuel into MVDC (e.g. gas turbine + PM generator + rectifier)
? “Shore Power Interface” is primarily a
power source which adapts electric energy from the utility system on shore to MVDC
? “Pulse Load” is a stand-alone load
center which draws intermittent pulses of power from the system
? “Energy Storage” is a stand-alone power
source which primarily provides power to the system when needed but also draws power from the system to recharge.
? “Propulsion” is a load center that
primarily draws power from the system for propulsion of the vessel. It may also provide power during certain maneuvers such as crash back
? “Ship service” is a load center that
primarily draws power from the system to power ship services within zones (e.g., dc/dc converter for in-zone distribution of LVDC, dc/ac inverter for in-zone distribution of LVAC).
? “Dedicated High Power Load” is a
stand-alone load center which draws 1 MW or more of power in steady-state operation.
? “MVDC bus” is functional block which
allows interrupting and isolating sections of the MVDC system (e.g., mechanical disconnect, solid-state DC breaker).
Figure 1 Functional MVDC block diagram
Table 3 Recommended MVDC voltage classes
Figure 2 MVDC Voltage Tolerances Worst Case Envelope Table 4 Rated withstand voltages for MVDC voltage classes
Recommended MVDC voltage classes are shown in Table 3. Steady state (continuous) DC voltage tolerances limits should be ± 10%. Tolerance envelope for MVDC voltages includes consideration of load requirements. Figure 2 represents an example of the performance of the DC bus. The time associated with zero voltage of the low voltage line is determined by how long it takes to clear a fault on the DC bus or a fault in the power source and restore the voltage to the required level. Rated withstand voltages for MVDC voltage classes are in Table 4. The intervals of time for which the system can carry a current equal to its rated short-time withstand current is defined by the time delays in the system protection coordination. For MVDC systems with traditional switchgear, values of 0.5 s, 1 s, 2 s, & 3 s should be used. For the new designs with fast power electronics, duration values.0001 s, .001 s, .01 s, 0.05 s, 0.1 s, and 0.2 s should be used. Mitigation of stray DC ground currents is an important issue for the MVDC power system. The primary mitigation method is to construct the system with low impedance and isolate it from all other ground references. For human safety, touch voltages should be limited to accepted standards.
Loads should be categorized into one of four QOS categories:
1.Uninterruptable: The equipment requires
continuous uninterruptable power.
2.Short-term interrupt: The equipment can
tolerate interruptions of less than 2 s.
3.Long-term interrupt: The equipment can
tolerate interruptions of up to 5 min.
4.Exempt: The equipment can tolerate
long-term interruptions or the
application permits complete loss of
power.
The acceptable RMS values of ripple and noise should not exceed 5% per unit.
It is recommended that in MVDC systems, power electronics should be based on commercially available power electronics building blocks (PEBBs) [6] with each PEBB having its own intelligence that is programmable and self-protecting to the appropriate extent. Automatic control should provide for smooth insertion and removal of power sources and IEEE Std. 1826-2012
New "IEEE Standard for Power Electronics Open System Interfaces in Zonal Electrical Distribution Systems rated above 100 kW" standard applies in cases where power electronics are the interface between the zones and extends the application of IEEE Standards 1662 and 1676.
The required Power, Monitoring, Information Exchange, Control, and Protection Interfaces are based on technological maturity, accepted practices and allowances for future technology insertions. The standard also defines how Openness of System should be verified and validated through rigorous assessment mechanism, interface control management and proactive conformance testing to enable plug-and-play operability independently of components origin.
For a zonal power system to be Open, each device attached to the power bus shall meet these criteria:
A.Each device shall implement certain
functionality that lets it “play well” with
the other system components, including
implementation of power control and
safety features
B.Each device shall conform to standard
control and information interfaces
C.Each device shall conform to standard
power interfaces
Figure 3 shows the elements of a zonal power system and their power interfaces. The systems interfaces in zonal distribution systems are based on the architectural principles in Table 5 derived from the IEEE Std 2030TM, “Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy Technology and Information Technology Operation With the Electric Power System (EPS), and End-Use Applications and Loads”.
This standard Verification and Validation (V&V) processes are adapted from IEEE Std 1012-2012 “Standard for System and Software Verification and Validation” as well as the entire family of IEEE system engineering standards. They include assessment, analysis, evaluation, review, inspection, and conformance testing. Maintenance of Open Systems Interfaces shall comply with IEEE 3007.2-2011 “IEEE Recommended Practice for the Maintenance of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems”

or operation of protective devices and
shall be used as the basis for defining
the transfer time limit
?Any system or function used for paralleling or controlling the shore
connection shall have no influence on
the ship’s electrical system, when there
is no shore connection.
Industry is anxious for standards in this area especially in California where new restrictions have been placed on the operation of auxiliary diesel engines on ocean-going vessels at-berth in California ports (Section 2299.3, title 13, chapter

The standard recommends using the concept of system layers shown on Figure 4. Highlights of this standard are:
?The interface between layers should be designed to enable layer modularity such that replacement of any layer should not induce modifications in other layers.
?The communication speed requirements at the lowest or hardware layer are the greatest and decline with each higher control layer. ?In order to preserve the hierarchical architecture horizontal communication between layers should be avoided. ?It is also recommended that each converter have its own independent switch control to serve its hardware control.
?When a system is partitioned, the partition interface should be designed to meet performance requirements of different layers, including requirements on data volume and transmission rates. The proposed architecture further suggests that there may be a common converter control to serve multiple switching controls. Also, one application control may serve more than one converter control.
?The function of protection is to take the necessary action as fast as required; therefore, the function of protection may go to any of the layers.
IEEE Std. 1303-2011
The IEEE Std 1303-2011, “IEEE Guide for Static Var Compensator Field Tests” is a guide for field testing and commissioning of static Var compensators (SVCs). It establishes guidelines and criteria for field testing to verify the specified performance of SVC systems. Many clauses are useful for compensator systems using gate turn-off (GTO) Thyristor technology or other semiconductor devices such IGCT.
The purpose of this guide is to help users of SVCs carry out a field test program prior to placing an SVC into service. The major elements of a commissioning program are identified so that users can formulate a specific plan that is suited to their own SVC. Such a test program shall cover the following:
A.Equipment tests within the SVC system
B.Tests of the various subsystems that
comprise the SVC system
https://www.360docs.net/doc/495839610.html,missioning tests for the complete
SVC system
D.Acceptance testing of the complete SVC
system
A comprehensive field test program includes the following major phases:
a)Overall test planning and organization,
including the definition and line of
authority for performing the tests.
b)Survey of documents and data, including
contract, system study, factory test
review, drawings, user’s manual
availability, and definition of ac system
requirements or limitations.
c)Preparation of ITPs for equipment,
subsystem, commissioning, and
acceptance tests of the SVC System.
d)Review and approval of, or concurrence
with, test program by user.
e)Preparation of schedule, including
coordination of installation/test schedule
and coordination with
f)system operation.
g)Dissemination and approval of field test
results.
h)Dissemination of information, including
as-built drawings. IEC Ship Standards
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national Electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. IEC publishes International Standards, and Guides (IEC Publication(s)). IEC technical committee TC 18 maintains the IEC 60092 family of standards under common title Electrical Installations in Ships.
IEC 60092 is a series of international standards for electrical installations in sea-going ships, incorporating good practice and coordinating, as far as possible, existing rules. These standards form a code of practical interpretation and amplification of the requirements of the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, a guide for future regulations which may be prepared and a statement of practice for use by ship owners, shipbuilders and appropriate organizations. The most important parts of IEC 60092 are:
IEC 60092-101: 2002, Electrical installations in ships – Part 101: Definitions and general requirements.
IEC 60092-201: 1994, Electrical installations in ships – Part 201: System design – General
IEC 60092-202: Electrical installations in ships. – Part 202: System design – Protection

CONCLUSIONS
Standards provide safe and cost
effective transfer of new technologies into Navy ships
IEEE standards are making possible
significant risk reduction in applying new technologies by combining established industrial practices with the latest innovations and modern analytical tools
IEEE standards are collective practical
experience of many generations of engineers to do things right from the first attempt.
Standards establish baseline for
customer’s selection and acceptance of products.
The best justifications for IEEE standards are famous sayings:
? Engineers are not superhuman. That they make mistakes is forgivable; that they catch them is imperative Thus it is the essence of modern engineering not only to be able to check one’s own work but also to have one’s work checked and to be able to check the work of others. ? “You have to learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.”
