초록

본 논문에서는 기존 기계식 추진체계를 대체할 수 있는 전기추진 방식의 적용 가능성과 그에 따른 전력 품질 및 전자기 간섭 문제를 다룬다. 특히, 전동기 구동 시스템에 포함된 PWM 인버터에서 발생하는 common mode 전압이 누설전류와 EMI의 주요 원인으로 작용함을 분석하였다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 다양한 PWM 기법을 비교하고, 각 방식의 특성과 효과를 평가하였다. 이를 통해 전기추진 함정 설계 시 효율적이고 안정적인 전력 운용 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Abstract

This paper addresses the applicability of electric propulsion systems as an alternative to conventional mechanical propulsion in naval vessels, along with the resulting challenges in power quality and electromagnetic interference (EMI). In particular, it analyzes how common mode voltage generated by PWM inverters within motor drive systems becomes a major source of leakage current and EMI. To mitigate these issues, various PWM techniques are compared and their characteristics and effectiveness are evaluated. Based on this analysis, the study proposes efficient and reliable power operation strategies for the design of electric propulsion ships.
