Sizing Power Generation – Proposal • Define Mobility as a Mission System – For each operational condition based on a Concept of Operations, specify … • Mission System states y • Speed time profile • Required maximum speed and minimum tactical speed • Percentage of time at 10°F, 59°F, and 100°F – Specify a realistic sea-state to use (Upper end of SS 4?) p y ( pp ) – In calculations, include impact of hull fouling and reduced propulsion efficiency due to unsteady loading. Use the worst case heading for determining impact of Sea state • Include margins appropriate for stage of design and degree of uncertainty. • I Include a Service Life allowance for Ship Service electrical loads. l d S i Lif ll f Shi S i l i l l d • Power Generation must be capable of providing requisite Quality of Service for all operational conditions – Power Generation must be sufficient to serve all propulsion and ship service loads for all operational conditions l d f ll ti l diti – Power Generation must be capable of serving ship service loads in all operational conditions with sufficient propulsion power to achieve the minimum tactical speed without the largest Generator Set.

Sizing Fuel Tank Capacity: High Speed Efficiency • Getting to Theater fast can be important – Reduced Fleet Size – can’t be everywhere all the time – Need for Maritime Power will not be predictable. b di t bl http://www.navatekltd.com/hyswac.html • Efficiency at high speed currently not a design factor for sizing fuel tanks f i i f l k – Ships are designed for efficiency at endurance speed, little incenti e to impro e efficienc at incentive to improve efficiency at high speed – Ship speed can be operationally limited by availability of limited by availability of replenishment ships May 22, 2007 Approved for Public Release 10 CAPT Doerry
Sizing Fuel Tanks – Proposal • Fuel Tanks should be large enough to satisfy three conditions … – Surge to Theater • Distance at maximum design speed using only 50% of fuel • Goal is to minimize dependence on replenishment ships to arrive at a theater of operations as fast as possible • Must define capability of other mission systems (self defense) – Economical Transit • Similar to traditional Endurance speed and range • Only difference is that capability of other mission systems are defined, rather than using 24 hour average load – Operational Presence • Minimum time that a ship should be capable of conducting one or Mi i ti th t hi h ld b bl f d ti more missions (such as theater ballistic missile defense) using a given speed-time profile and mission system capability • Use only 1/3 of fuel capacity Use only 1/3 of fuel capacity May 22, 2007 Approved for Public Release 11 CAPT Doerry
Future Work • Produce and implement a guidance document for specifying ship requirements. • • Formalize the methodology in standards such as the Naval Formalize the methodology in standards such as the Naval Vessel Rules and Design Data Sheets. • Develop and validate improved ship resistance tools for predicting powering requirements in various sea-states. • Develop and validate improved tools for predicting the efficiency of propulsors in various sea-states. • Develop and validate improved electric load forecasting models. • D Develop and formalize methods to correlate trials data in l d f li th d t l t t i l d t i observed sea-states to ship mobility requirements under other sea-states. • Develop and validate tools for predicting the rate of fouling and Develop and validate tools for predicting the rate of fouling and its impact on ship’s resistance for a given operational profile, antifouling features and hull cleaning strategy. • Institutionalize the use of operational profiles and operational conditions as a basis for calculating life cycle cost conditions as a basis for calculating life cycle cost.
