Research topics from publications: Primary and backup protection for fault current limited MVDC shipboard power systems. Representative work: Robust management of short-circuit faults in MVDC systems must rely on a combination of communication-dependent and communication-independent methods. In one approach, an MVDC system is designed to operate without breakers [1], so both methods rely on coordinated control of power converters and non-fault-breaking mechanical disconnect switches to effect the fault clearance process-fault detection and localization, complete de-energizing of the system, isolation of faulted branch and re-energizing of the system. The Centralized Fault Management (CFM) method depends on communication between distributed sensors and a central decision-making authority to achieve fastest primary protection. It is
