Abstract

Naval ships are of paramount importance to national security, culture, and naval operations. A primary challenge for naval authorities is to balance the imperatives of maritime dominance with the operational demands of achieving sufficient, sustainable reliability. Shaft generators (SGs) are crucial to the energy conversion systems on naval ships, functioning as part of the main power systems on board and providing both propulsion and power for various operational loads. In this sense, the design of shaft generators is an engineering element that has a major impact on the overall ship performance. The design process will be conducted within the MATLAB/Simulink environment, a platform that facilitates the study of the dynamic behaviors of the system through simulation. The increasing demand for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in the military, along with the impact of emerging technologies, will further underscore the significance of shaft generators. Analyses carried out in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate that the selection of the most suitable power system for naval ships is dictated by the system requirements and operational demands. The main construction is such that this work is the first of its kind in the field of shaft generator research for naval ships.
