The shipboard power system (SPS) supplies energy to electric loads on ships. If the power supply of SPS is interrupted by a fault, it is important to restore the power system as soon as possible. Many approaches have been taken on the service restoration of SPS, but most of them use a centralized method and cannot meet the Navy's needs for fight-through survivability and high reliability. This ...

Since the limited power capacity, finite inertia, and dynamic loads make the shipboard power system (SPS) vulnerable, the automatic reconfiguration for failure recovery in SPS is an extremely significant but still challenging problem. It is not only required to operate accurately and optimally, but also to satisfy operating constraints. In this paper, we consider the reconfiguration optimizatio...

The shipboard power system (SPS) supply energy to sophisticated systems for weapons, communications, navigation and operation. So when the system is damaged, the faults should be isolated and restored immediately to ensure the system survivability. Currently the genetic algorithm (GA) is successfully used to SPS fault restoration and the superiority over the other methods is proved, but the sim...

This paper considers the joint repair and restoration of the electrical power system after significant disruptions caused by natural disasters. This problem is computationally challenging because, when the goal is to minimize the size of the blackout, it combines a routing and a power restoration component, both of which are difficult on their own. The joint repair/restoration problem has been ...
