The Canadian marine sector and many related industries are presently stressed with insufficient R&D resources due to a large number of emerging projects to design, manufacture, and retrofit ships as a result of more stringent environmental, economical, and functional requirements. These include reducing environmental footprint, integrating new technologies, and improving resilience to emergencies. A compelling strategy to address these goals is to develop efficient and resilient shipboard electric power systems coupled with energy storage, along with an integrated framework for the design, verification, and operation of shipboard power systems. Traditionally, marine engineers design and build shipboard systems by integrating commercial off-the-shelf components across a wide range of subsystems, including power and propulsion, sensors and actuators, as well as computing and control. The entire process can be greatly enhanced and de-risked with research focused on pervasive industry problems. The proposed research project will develop advanced tools for modelling, optimizing, and evaluating the performance of integrated shipboard electric power and propulsion systems, with an emphasis on improving system-wide efficiency and resilience. The research will proceed via three interrelated tasks: i) developing advanced models and simulation tools, ii) optimizing energy utilization and data-driven control, and iii) designing for resilience and fast recovery of operability. The developed tools and capabilities will serve as a unique testbed for our partner organizations. The proposed research is essential for our partner organizations and the marine industry in Canada and beyond, as a pathway toward designing, building, and retrofitting more efficient and resilient electrified ships. The proposed project will also serve as a much-needed source of highly qualified personnel who will be trained with real-world industrial experience. The success of this program will bolster Canada's position in the global trend toward ship electrification and ensure Canada's economy fully benefits along the path of evolving marine transportation.

由于更严格的环境、经济和功能要求，加拿大海洋部门和许多相关行业目前面临研发资源不足的压力，原因是由于越来越严格的环境、经济和功能要求，出现了大量新出现的船舶设计、制造和改装项目。这些措施包括减少环境足迹，整合新技术，提高应对紧急情况的能力。解决这些目标的一个引人注目的战略是开发高效和有弹性的舰载电力系统，并结合能量存储，以及舰载电力系统的设计、验证和运行的综合框架。传统上，海洋工程师通过将商业现成组件集成到一系列子系统中来设计和建造舰载系统，这些子系统包括动力和推进、传感器和执行器以及计算和控制。通过专注于普遍存在的行业问题的研究，整个过程可以得到极大的增强和降低风险。拟议的研究项目将开发先进的工具，用于建模、优化和评估综合舰船电力和推进系统的性能，重点是提高全系统的效率和复原力。研究将通过三个相互关联的任务进行：i)开发先进的模型和仿真工具，ii)优化能源利用和数据驱动控制，iii)设计弹性和快速恢复可操作性。开发的工具和功能将作为我们的合作伙伴组织的独特试验台。拟议的研究对我们的合作伙伴组织和加拿大及其他地区的海洋行业至关重要，作为设计、建造和改装更高效、更具弹性的电气化船舶的途径。拟议的项目还将成为高素质人员的急需来源，这些人员将接受具有实际工业经验的培训。该项目的成功将巩固加拿大在全球船舶电气化趋势中的地位，并确保加拿大的经济在发展海洋运输的道路上充分受益。
