Co-simulation of electric ship power and control systems using high performance computing

In electric ship design the interaction of the physical plant with the power and energy control system is so complex that simulation for design or analysis is time consuming, especially when a range of time steps is required for dynamic simulation. This paper describes a unique solver that captures the power and control blocks of an electric ship power system described in Simulink and then creates simulations in C# ready for solution on a multicore computer. A comprehensive description of the workflow and results of verification testing are presented.
