This paper describes and displays an advanced demonstration model of a medium-voltage dc reduced order system which contains six partial electrical zones of a ship. The model has two anticipated purposes; to assist in the determination of necessary high-speed breaker locations and to be considered a baseline for future medium-voltage dc integrated power systems with pulse loads and energy storage. The model is suited for system analysis and contains the global apparatus for reconfiguration control. The system model was constructed using average-value power electronic components with minimized controls. The impedances between subsystems as well as the internal component impedances were kept intact to assist in the evaluation of high-speed breaker placement, and utilization.
