This thesis studies the components that are found in hybrid maritime electrical power systems and their influence on power quality, short-circuit currents and protection & coordination. In order to help system integrators such as Alewijnse in the design of these hybrid systems, two typical models of actual vessels are created in simulation software ETAP. Both systems are low-voltage, high-power systems, based on either an AC or DC busbar. Rules and standards related to power quality and short-circuit currents are studied as well as practical protection strategies. For the AC model, various studies have been successfully simulated including a load flow study, transient stability study including peak shaving and virtual generator simulations for the battery, a protection & coordination study and a harmonic study. Some challenges with ETAP regarding DC grid simulations are discussed, but is also demonstrated how to use the formulas and standard approximation function from the IEC 61660 to calculate short-circuit currents and I2t values and how to use these results in the protection & coordination study.
