ABSTRACT:
An electric power system for large marine vehicles in which one or more AC generators are shared as the ship's propulsion power source and the ship's electrical service power source. The voltage from the AC generator(s) is rectified to a reduced DC voltage such that voltage transients in the propulsor motor do not reflect into the ship service power system. Silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) bridges are utilized to convert the generator's AC voltage into a reduced DC voltage. As a supplement for emergency power, a rechargeable battery is included to provide power for propulsion and ship service.
