This paper will describe the capability of a demonstrator for a new main battery for a submarine, the consequences of connecting it to the existing DC distribution system, and how the release of stored energy is to be controlled. A complication is that proprietary battery management systems will shut down on excessive current demand, but that behaviour is not consistent with the UPS support function of the battery or with making conventional fault clearance discrimination work in the extended network it serves. An innovative technique to meet the real-life use requirement will be described, giving an energy source with both power and responsibility. 000007567 542__ $$fCC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 000007567 6531_ $$aLarge battery array 000007567 6531_ $$afault current 000007567 6531_ $$acircuit breaker 000007567 6531_ $$adistribution network 000007567 6531_ $$aUPS 000007567 6531_ $$asafety 000007567 7001_ $$aBlakey, R G$$uMinistry of Defence, UK 000007567 773__ $$tConference Proceedings of MECSS 000007567 773__ $$jMECSS 2019 000007567 789__ $$whttps://zenodo.org/record/3381485$$2URL$$eIsIdenticalTo 000007567 85641 $$uhttps://www.imarest.org/mecss$$yConference website 000007567 8564_ $$9a51a2d48-5be3-40d3-9bdc-ce10054ce963$$s1928208$$uhttps://library.imarest.org/record/7567/files/MECSS%202019%20Paper%20010%20Blakey%20Final%20P.pdf
