Structuring, controlling and protecting the DC Grid in marine applications

The structure of a Marine DC grid enables control and protection in a different way, as usually employed in AC grids. Power electronic converters are used for both control and protection. The structure of a DC grid is also determined by the type of power electronic converters being centralized or decentralized. Power congestion management greatly improves the fault tolerance of a DC grid. Although power electronics introduce extra losses, the DC grid can be used more efficient than the AC grid.
