Technical cross-fertilization between terrestrial microgrids and ship power systems

Aspects of terrestrial microgrids and ship power systems are examined.The work exposes a variety of technical synergies from these two power systems to effectively advance their technologies.Understanding their overlap allows congruent efforts to target both systems;understanding their differences hinders conflict and redundancy in early-stage design.The paper concludes by highlighting how an understanding of both systems can reduce the investment in research resources.
