Although a fully automated ship is not feasible yet, several approximations are shown up. In most of them, the intelligent interconnection of ship’s majorsystems is one of the primary concerns.

SHIP’S SURVIVABILITY STATE In the recent years several attempts have been made to approach the issue of estimating ship’s survivability.

SurvivabilityComponents Analysis But, the approaches expressing survivability as a time evolving process and/or as a conditional probability, are still qualitative. Instead, for future automatic control and decision-makingsystems, we need aMETHODOLOGY to approach survivability arithmetically ( quantitatively ) A first step to that goal, is the estimation (measuring) of the survivability of similar systems and subsystems In that way survivability ‘components’ are created, that add up to the total survivability of the ship.

AUTOMATIC BDR OF ELECTRIC POWER NETWORK ON AES 3.2.2 Dynamic Load Prioritization According to Ship’s State In the case of ‘permanent’ limitation of the el. power capacity and after having presented the available power paths, the Battle Damage Repair Subsystem has to calculate and present achievable ship’s states closer to the desired one, on the basis of different load prioritization schemes. Classically, two priorities of loads have been existed in naval ships, classifying the loads as vitalor non vital. This, or even a further classification, (i.e. 3, or 4 groups of loads) is not optimum and does not exploit the capabilities of intelligent automation systems. Presented by I.K. Hatzilau41

This would be the optimum and most effective load shedding scheme. Presented by I.K. Hatzilau42

Automatic Battle Management of AES and Aspects of Electrical System Survivability I.K. Gyparis, I.K. Hatzilau, E. Sakiotis 4. CONCLUSIONS The basic automatic actions that should be activated on AES after battle damages are electric power network reconfiguration and load shedding. Automatic reconfiguration will be successful, only if it has been anticipated for in the design phase of the power network. - There is relevant work ongoing for shore networks, the models of which can be used for ships. Classic dual ship’s loads classification schemes are not optimal for automatic load shedding systems. Dynamic prioritization that continuously adapts to ship’s state is needed. Presented by I.K.
