The Navy's future and near-term high-energy sensors and energy weapons will consume a large portion of the resources of the intended ship platform. Many of these new systems will have extreme dynamic power profiles, including both periodic and aperiodic characteristics. These dynamics can cause sudden changes in power at the prime power system that can be stressing to platform systems, both to the generators and prime movers as well as other loads sharing the common distribution bus. This paper presents the use of a new adaptive power system (APS) to mitigate the negative impacts levied on the platforms resulting from large dynamic loads. A notional size of the hardware required to implement the APS design is presented along with simulation results verifying the concept.
