AB  - Future shipboard power systems are likely to employ multiple generation sources that are monitored and autonomously controlled. Energy storage may be used to backup and buffer traditional generation sources during down times or when transient loads are deployed. Coupling intelligent control with energy storage will ensure that efficiency, reliability, and power quality can be maintained. At the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), a hardware testbed has been installed to study one zone of a conceptual power system architecture. It has AC and DC distributed power sources operating in the few hundreds of kW range and loads at 4160 VAC, 480 VAC, 1 kVDC, 6 kVDC, and 12 kVDC respectively. Transient loads are emulated by modulating the installed power sources into resistive load banks. UTA is collaborating with Clarkson University (CU) and Florida State University (FSU) to extend the testbed virtually using a hardware in the loop (HIL) platform and to demonstrate robust power system control using Simulink desktop real-time. This paper will discuss the collaborative efforts and provide some results collected.
