TY - GEN AB - As the US Navy transitions to a more electrical fleet, electrical load profiles will exhibit characteristics that have not been traditionally encountered. Conventional power generation devices are unable to meet the unique demands of these load profiles and so must be bolstered with energy storage devices to alleviate transient loading. Active hybrid energy storage modules offer both high-energy and high-power density when compared to traditional energy storage devices. Fuzzy logic control offers a method of controlling such a system to meet MIL-STD-1399 requirements on a shipboard system while requiring little knowledge of the system components. This paper evaluates a fuzzy logic controller’s ability to maintain an energy storage module voltage while accommodating a bi-directional transient load that is representative of one that could be seen aboard a naval vessel.  AD - The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas, United States AD - The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas, United States AD - Naval Surface Warfare Center – Philadelphia Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States AU - Wetz, D A AU - Cohen, I J AU - Heinzel, J M DA - 2018-10-03 ID - 7602 JF - Conference Proceedings of INEC KW - Hybrid Energy Storage Module KW - Fuzzy Logic Control KW - Energy Storage Device KW - Bi-Directional DC/DC Power Conversion L1 - https://library.imarest.org/record/7602/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20041%20Wetz%20FINAL.pdf L2 - https://library.imarest.org/record/7602/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20041%20Wetz%20FINAL.pdf L4 - https://library.imarest.org/record/7602/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20041%20Wetz%20FINAL.pdf LK - https://library.imarest.org/record/7602/files/INEC%202018%20Paper%20041%20Wetz%20FINAL.pdf N2 - As the US Navy transitions to a more electrical fleet, electrical load profiles will exhibit characteristics that have not been traditionally encountered.
