Stress-Free Navigation - Electronic and Traditional (Paperback): Duncan Wells Stress-Free Navigation - Electronic and Traditional (Paperback)
Duncan Wells
R531 Discovery Miles 5 310 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

You might think stress-free navigation sounds like an impossible paradox. But it need not be. All boaters, whether under sail or under power, need to be able to navigate safely on the water - both to keep themselves and their crew out of trouble and to avoid endangering others. Yet navigation has often been presented almost as a black art - complicated, full of tricky maths, and with alien concepts to get your head around. Step in `Mr Stress-Free': having in his previous books presented techniques for sailing and motorboating in an accessible, manageable fashion, Duncan Wells now turns his attention to navigation. He makes concepts easy to understand and the practice of navigation perfectly achievable for all - with minimum stress. The book covers the basic introductory elements clearly and simply for novices, and progresses through more advanced techniques for experienced navigators, so that there is something for everyone, whatever their skill level. Diagrams, quick-reference tables and flowcharts, explanatory step-by-step photographs, box features, top tips and QR codes - giving access to explanatory videos - are all features that have been much appreciated by readers of Duncan's other top-selling titles.

VFD Challenges for Shipboard Electrical Power System Design (Paperback): M.M. Islam VFD Challenges for Shipboard Electrical Power System Design (Paperback)
M.M. Islam
R1,494 Discovery Miles 14 940 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

An in-depth exploration of shipboard power generation and distribution system design that utilizes variable frequency drives The variable frequency drive (VFD) application is a proven technology for shore-based applications. However, shore-based VFDs often are unsuitable for shipboard applications because the power generation and distribution fundamentals are completely different. VFD Challenges for Shipboard Electrical Power System Design explores the problems presented by variable frequency drives as they are applied in shipboard power generation and distribution system design and offers solutions for meeting these challenges. VFDs with configurations such as six pulse drive, 12 pulse drive, 18 pulse drive, active front end, pulse width modulation and many others generate many different levels of harmonics. These harmonics are often much higher than the regulations allow. This book covers a range of techniques used to provide ships with efficient energy that minimizes mechanical and electrical stress. This important book: Offers a comparison of shipboard grounding and VFD grounding Contains an analysis of the VFD effect in terms of shipboard power quality Includes specific examples of Department of Transportation standards regarding VFDs Written for commercial and naval engineers designing ships and/or shipboard power systems, VFD Challenges for Shipboard Electrical Power System Design is a comprehensive resource that addresses the problems and solutions associated with shipboard applications of VFD.

Completely updated to include the latest advances in navigation theory, hardware, and software, this brand-new edition provides comprehensive, unified coverage of the principles of modern navigation equipment and systems.

The initial chapters establish the conceptual and technical foundations of the subject, with a concise overview of electronic navigation and a review of crucial principles and equations. Each of the ensuing chapters provides in-depth treatment of a specific navigation technology, including ground-based radio-navigation aids; satellite-based radio-navigation aids; integrated communication-navigation systems; inertial and stellar-inertial navigation systems; air-data sensors and algorithms that derive airspeed, angles of attack and sideslip, and barometric altitude; attitude and heading sensors and displays; Doppler radars, radar altimeters, and mapping radars; and terrain map-matching. The book concludes with a description of land-based and aircraft-carrier-based landing aids, air-traffic management, and avionic interfaces.

Retaining the user-friendly organization of the first edition, each chapter presents basic functions and principles, and then discusses design characteristics and equipment configurations, performance limitations, and sources of error. Each chapter concludes with a prediction of future trends. Comparative performance levels, weights, power consumption, and costs are described where possible. A thorough index makes it easy to find material quickly.

Avionics Navigation Systems, Second Edition, is an indispensable resource for all engineers and systems analysts who design, build, and maintain navigation and avionics equipment, as well as for the pilots and operations staff who use it.
