Shipboard Electrical Power Systems

Unlike most existing books, which focus primarily on land-based power systems to discuss the transmission grid, this book centers on all topics relevant to the shipboard power system, making the subject understandable for marine engineers who are not electrical majors. Written by an expert with decades of both industrial and teaching experience, this resource provides extensive information for marine engineers working on conventional or electrically propelled ships, on ports, or on renewable power sites in the ocean. Topics range from the power systems basics, electrical machines, power generation, transformers, motors, marine cables, distribution system, protection, batteries, economic use of power, and marine industry standards. It is a much-needed single-source book on electrical power systems for practicing engineers and students in the marine industry.
