Shipboard Electrical Power Systems addresses new developments in
this growing field. Focused on the trend toward electrification to
power commercial shipping, naval, and passenger vessels, this book
helps new or experienced engineers master cutting-edge methods for
power system design, control, protection, and economic use of
power. Provides Basic Transferable Skills for Managing Electrical
Power on Ships or on Land This groundbreaking book is the first
volume of its kind to illustrate optimization of all aspects of
shipboard electrical power systems. Applying author Mukund Patel's
rare combination of industrial and educational work experiences and
insight, it offers solutions to meet the increasing demand for
large, fast, efficient, and reconfigurable ships to compete in
international markets. For 30 years, Professor Patel was an
engineer for companies including General Electric, Lockheed Martin,
and Westinghouse Electric, and in the past 15 years he has been an
engineering professor at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. That
varied experience helped him zero in on the specialized
multidimensional knowledge an engineer requires-and that is what
sets his book apart. Compiles Critical, Hard-to-Find Information on
Power System Design, Analysis, and Operation The global shortage of
power engineers is not deterring countries from heavily investing
in construction of new power plants and grids. Consequent growth in
university electrical power programs is satisfying the demand for
engineers, but novice graduates require accelerated understanding
and practical experience before entering the thriving maritime
segment. Ideal for readers with limited electrical experience,
wide-ranging coverage includes power system basics, power
generation, electrical machines, power distribution, batteries, and
marine industry standards. This book is an invaluable tool for
engineers working on ships, as well as in ports, industrial power
plants, refineries, and other similar environments.
