IEEE Electrification Magazine - June 2016 - 57

research on terrestrial dc microgrids, such as dc power
architecture, the application of ESSs, hierarchical control,
and different coordination methods. We also presented
objective-oriented coordinated management methods
and protective functions for future MVdc IPSs, which are
to meet the specific need of maritime applications using
methodologies from dc microgrids.
In the last decade, there were several prototypes of
ships on the low-voltage dc level, while, for the MVdc
IPS, there are still technological challenges and de-risking studies to be performed. However, it is foreseeable
that the advanced technologies from terrestrial dc
microgrids are potentially applicable in the MVdc IPS of
the future AES. Thus, such a combination will contribute
to the implementation of high-performance MVdc IPSs
for both commercial and mission-oriented vessels in the
near future.
