Abstract
The current usage of the term hybrid electric power, when referring to electrical networks installed on offshore and marine assets, describes the coupling of energy-transformation systems (ETSs) that utilize different technologies to exchange energy with the electrical network. An ETS is composed of an energy-transformation device (ETD) and, if necessary, an energy converter that is used to match the electrical characteristics of the ETD to those of the electrical network; the converter facilitates the exchange of energy between the ETD and the electrical network at the required rate. An ETS may also be considered a source if it is able to supply net positive energy to the electrical network for consumption by the loads.
