Aspects of terrestrial microgrids and ship power systems are examined. The work exposes a variety technical synergies from these two to effectively advance their technologies. Understanding overlap allows congruent efforts target both systems; understanding differences hinders conflict redundancy in early-stage design. paper concludes by highlighting how an can reduce the investment research resources.
