This paper presents the development of a PC-cluster based real-time simulator for All Electric Ship (AES) Integrated Power System (IPS) analysis and optimization. The system is established at the University of Michigan with the financial support from the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR). It is aimed to address the multi-disciplinary issues associated with the allelectric ship, such as optimal power management and dynamic system reconfiguration. In parallel with hardware construction, a modularized IPS model which includes the power generation module, the reconfigurable zonal electrical distribution system module, the ship propulsion module and the ship dynamic module is developed and integrated. Simulation GUIs have also been developed to provide a user friendly engineering environment where data acquisition and parameter tuning can be performed effectively. Both the system development efforts and preliminary simulation results for different shipboard operating scenarios are reported.
