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.

加拿大海洋部门和许多相关行业目前面临着研发资源不足的压力，这是由于大量新兴项目的设计，制造和改装船舶，这是更严格的环境，经济和功能要求的结果。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。实现这些目标的一个令人信服的战略是开发高效和弹性的船上电力系统，加上能量存储，沿着一个集成的框架，用于船上电力系统的设计，验证和操作。传统上，海事工程师通过集成各种子系统中的商用现成组件来设计和建造船上系统，包括动力和推进，传感器和执行器，以及计算和控制。通过对普遍存在的行业问题进行研究，整个过程可以大大增强和降低风险。拟议的研究项目将开发先进的工具，用于建模、优化和评估综合舰载电力和推进系统的性能，重点是提高全系统的效率和弹性。该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）设计可恢复性和快速恢复可操作性。开发的工具和功能将作为我们合作伙伴组织的独特测试平台。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产业至关重要，是设计，建造和改造更高效，更有弹性的电气化船舶的途径。拟议的项目还将成为急需的高素质人才来源，他们将接受实际工业经验的培训。该计划的成功将巩固加拿大在全球船舶电气化趋势中的地位，并确保加拿大经济沿着不断发展的海洋运输道路充分受益。
