Cruise ships are among the most demanding vessels typology due to their operational
profile and the presence of passengers on board. They are characterized by a significant …

Bidirectional DC/DC converters such as the Split-pi can be used to integrate an energy
storage system (ESS) into a DC microgrid providing manifold benefits. However, this …

This paper deals with the predictive control of a Multi-Input-Multi-Output converter for DC
microgrids. The chosen case study is described, and subsequently, the proposed control …

DC microgrids represent an interesting opportunity for shipboard power system applications,
where the integration of dc-interfaced resources is needed. However, maintaining system …

The presence of constant power loads (CPLs) in dc shipboard microgrids may lead to
unstable conditions. The present work investigates the stability properties of dc microgrids …

The ability to maintain the power balance, and effectively share the demand power among
the available generating units is one of the essential requirements of a dc shipboard …

This paper illustrates the modelling of a Low Voltage DC ship electrical system, including
