      abstract = {Future warship power systems may be subject to pulsed  loads manifesting through emergent combat systems such as  directed energy weapons, associated sensors and electronic  warfare equipment.  The integration of combat system  loads with the ship’s power system means that  performance becomes intrinsically linked to combat  effectiveness.  Hence, understanding the capability of  the power system to service such loads is vital in ensuring  the operator’s ability to fight the ship.

This paper  describes the challenge of pulse load integration from the  perspective of the power system design authority.   Modelling and simulation has been employed to study  the electrical response of a representative power system  when subject to a range pulse load characteristics.   Subsequently, the effects of pulse loading are  reviewed in terms of impact upon the prime mover. It is  concluded that whilst electrical supply performance can be  maintained within allowable power quality limits as defined  by STANAG 1008, the mechanical effects can be to the  detriment of engine life, highlighting key recommendations  to understand both electrical and mechanical performance  envelope in design for integration. },
