Abstract: A detailed computer representation of the shipboard electric power distribution system was developed and verified in Phase I. This set the stage for developing reduced order models for the components of the shipboard electric power system and to use the detailed computer models as a means of verifying the reduced order models individually and in a system configuration. Development of reduced order models and the equations necessary to connect these models in any feasible system configuration is the first objective of the proposed research. The second is to begin defining transient and dynamic stability and system security for a finite inertia electric system for normal and emergency operating conditions. Achieving these goals is necessary in order to provide a means to design and investigate the performance of proposed shipboard electric power systems.
