Smart Ships represent the next generation of ships that use ICT to connect all the devices on board for integrated monitoring and safety management. In such a context, the Shipboard Power System (SPS) is critical to the survival and safety of the ship because many accidents are due to electrical failures. The SPS reconfiguration con- sists of a variation of the electrical topology to supply energy to critical services successfully. The proposed reconfiguration procedure uses an autonomous and mission-oriented approach, and it employs a generic- purpose self-adaptive Fault Management System. It delivers a set of possible runtime solutions that properly consider the current ship mission and operating scenario while dealing with multiple failures. Solutions, achieving a partial reconfiguration of the system, are consid- ered when a full recovery strategy is not available according to the current ship conditions.

Abstract
Smart Ships represent the next generation of ships that use ICT to connect all the devices on board for integrated monitoring and safety management. In such a context, the Shipboard Power System (SPS) is critical to the survival and safety of the ship because many accidents are due to electrical failures. The SPS reconfiguration con- sists of a variation of the electrical topology to supply energy to critical services successfully. The proposed reconfiguration procedure uses an autonomous and mission-oriented approach, and it employs a generic- purpose self-adaptive Fault Management System. It delivers a set of possible runtime solutions that properly consider the current ship mission and operating scenario while dealing with multiple failures. Solutions, achieving a partial reconfiguration of the system, are consid- ered when a full recovery strategy is not available according to the current ship conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
