Hybrid power generation system using linear programming

A method for managing hybrid power generation on a marine vessel, comprising:

• determining a current load serviced by a hybrid power source comprising at least one diesel generator and one battery;
• determining an operating state for each power source;
• using a computer program to determine a new operating state that improves fuel efficiency or reduces emissions;
• adjusting a configuration of the diesel generator and battery to operate in the new operating state.

A trailer mounted hybrid power generation system, comprising:

• a trailer supporting at least two segregated rooms, including:
• a transformer room housing at least one main power transformer and neutral forming transformers;
• a switchgear room housing medium voltage switchgear, power distribution components, and control systems;
• a climate control system configured to cool the switchgear room and prevent condensation in liquid cooled components;
• a hybrid power source comprising a plurality of diesel generators and at least one battery bank in electrical communication with the switchgear;
• a processor executing a control program stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the control program comprising instructions to:
• monitor load demand;
• control generator and battery switching;
• manage bus voltage and frequency output to load requirements.
