Abstract
A power generation grid for a vessel, rig or platform includes a primary energy source located above the waterline and a plurality of DC sub-assemblies, located below the waterline. Each DC sub-assembly has a DC bus, a DC/DC converter adapted to couple the DC bus to a DC energy source; an AC/DC converter adapted to couple the DC bus to an AC energy source; a DC/AC converter adapted to couple the DC bus to a corresponding load, and a first switch adapted to couple the DC bus to a DC bus of another DC sub-assembly.
