This paper presents an integrated experimental platform of Shipboard Power System (SPS) control system. It was established with equipment of three 100KW diesel generator sets, electric power network, 270KW loads of resistance and inductance, 24KW AC motor drive control system and shipboard automatic power station. The power system and generator sets of experimental platform run under controllers of M340 PLC and PPU. The hardware environment of two layers network is formed for experiments and control programs developing. Field bus and Ethernet technologies are applied for the experimental platform. Combining with some relevant developing software of platform, programs of real time control and electric energy management can be developed and realized for generator sets and electric power network and shipboard power station. Data of SPS experiments can be sampled and recorded in Ethernet computer through sensors, PPU, PLC and Field bus facilities. Also, the functions of SPS characteristic analysis and faults alarming can be implemented by Ethernet computers. This physical experimental platform satisfies the requirements of analysis and research for SPS automatic control.
