Overview
Department 489 is part of the Integrated Power Systems (IPS) Directorate which is responsible for developing the COLUMBIA Class (CLB) state-of-the-art electric drive propulsion system. D489 is responsible for the development and construction support of the electric drive system (drives, controls, and power distribution).
General Description:
In support of electric drive design efforts, D489 is developing a Control Software Test Bed (CSTB) that contains a propulsion system emulator integrated with actual shipboard control hardware/software. The CSTB will be used to support propulsion component software certification and assist in the early discovery/ resolution of propulsion system controls issues. The CSTB emulator hardware runs in real-time to mimic propulsion system performance. The CSTB real-time control logic will use MATLAB/Simulink models to support rapid-prototyping of the propulsion system dynamics.
