This solution was derivedfrom the application of a literature-review-based methodology,the findings of which were formulated as a paradigm consistingof a combination of electric ship propulsion with MVDC networks and WHRSs. This paradigm was then validated throughmodeling and simulation. Real-time simulations were deployed toevaluate the integration of the heat recovery system, specificallyan organic Rankine cycle (ORC), into the MVDC network of theship. The results of the simulations showed that an appropriatedesign of the dc network topology and control system is requiredfor the ship to perform correctly under any scenario. It wasconcluded that replacing the passive rectifiers of the generatorswith controlled rectifiers improved the voltage profile of theMVDC network. In addition, it was inferred that the designof the global controller is essential for the integration of the heatrecovery system.
