Resumen
The complex dynamic characteristics of a shipboard power system (SPS) are not only related to its continuous dynamics but also influenced by discrete control behavior. Especially, during combat mission execution of high-power pulse loads (HPPLs), their operation plan as a sequence of discrete control events will cause successive abrupt changes in the continuous dynamics of SPS due to the sudden and intermittent nature of the external attacks, which requires overall comprehension of the hybrid dynamics evolution process driven by discrete events. In this paper, considering the zonal distribution structure of SPS and the influences of extreme events on the discrete dynamics of each zone, the extended hybrid models for each zone, including normal operation configuration and fault configuration, are obtained based on the hybrid automata theory. Then, the global hybrid model of SPS is developed. The mapping relationship of discrete state transition to the continuously controlled system is analyzed to reconstruct the set of differential equations model of the continuous system for the purpose of simulation. Two case studies are carried out to perform the simulation under the proposed hybrid model. It is demonstrated that this proposed method can reveal the operating characteristics of the hybrid dynamic evolution process driven by discrete events, both in normal operation and pulse loads operation. Although the precise measure of discrete states of SPS can be challenging to obtain, especially during the confrontation phase, the proposed method still provides valuable insights on evaluating the sophisticated dynamics of an SPS.
