Shipboard Propulsion, Power Electronics, and Ocean Energy fills the
need for a comprehensive book that covers modern shipboard
propulsion and the power electronics and ocean energy technologies
that drive it. With a breadth and depth not found in other books,
it examines the power electronics systems for ship propulsion and
for extracting ocean energy, which are mirror images of each other.
Comprised of sixteen chapters, the book is divided into four parts:
Power Electronics and Motor Drives explains basic power electronics
converters and variable-frequency drives, cooling methods, and
quality of power Electric Propulsion Technologies focuses on the
electric propulsion of ships using recently developed permanent
magnet and superconducting motors, as well as hybrid propulsion
using fuel cell, photovoltaic, and wind power Renewable Ocean
Energy Technologies explores renewable ocean energy from waves,
marine currents, and offshore wind farms System Integration Aspects
discusses two aspects-energy storage and system reliability-that
are essential for any large-scale power system This timely book
evolved from the author's 30 years of work experience at General
Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Westinghouse Electric and 15 years
of teaching at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. As a textbook, it
is ideal for an elective course at marine and naval academies with
engineering programs. It is also a valuable reference for
commercial and military shipbuilders, port operators, renewable
ocean energy developers, classification societies, machinery and
equipment manufacturers, researchers, and others interested in
modern shipboard power and propulsion systems. The information
provided herein does not necessarily represent the view of the U.S.
Merchant Marine Academy or the U.S. Department of Transportation.
This book is a companion to Shipboard Electrical Power Systems (CRC
Press, 2011), by the same author.
