Abstract
Fuel cost is a major concern for naval and commercial ship operations. One approach to fuel efficiency improvement is to integrate propulsion and electric generating systems. This paper examines the use of hybrid electric drives as a means for reducing fuel costs in naval ship operations. Fuel efficiency can be improved by committing only the necessary power generating resources to supply the propulsion and electric power requirements for the mission. However, it is also necessary to insure a degree of reliability of power supply, which typically implies committing more resources than actually needed. This paper examines fuel optimization in the presence of service reliability constraints. It considers optimal strategies for contingency response as a means of reducing the need to commit excess on-line power generating resources.
