Origins and benefits of power segmentation in electric propulsion systems
Electric Ship. New Concepts, Power Control Systems, Design Constraints

This section looks at the general principles and problems of multi-machine – multi-converter systems, and their contribution to overall power system performance.

Paragraphs 3.1 and 3.3.4 of the article [D 5 615] detail the benefits of power segmentation in electromechanical energy conversion systems, which, by reducing elementary powers, improves the performance of electronic components, as well as offering significant possibilities for operation in degraded mode.

These aspects are essential in on-board applications (ship...
