Book Description
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.
VFD Challenges for Shipboard Electrical Power System Design
Author: Mohammed M. IslamPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119463386
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
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.
Designing Shipboard Electrical Distribution Systems for Optimal Reliability

Book Description
Analysis was performed to quantify and compare the reliability of several different notional shipboard DC distribution system topologies in serving their equipment loads. Further, the relationship between the relative placement of loads and generators within a distribution system and the system's reliability was investigated, resulting in an algorithmically-derived optimal placement configuration in the system topology found to be the most reliable in the initial analysis. Using Markov models and fault-tree analysis, system reliability indices were derived from distribution system component reliability indices, and these values were compared between competing topologies and equipment configurations. A distribution system based on the breaker-and-a-half topology often used in terrestrial utility substations was found to be superior in terms of reliability to the currently-standard ring bus topology. Expected rates of service interruptions to equipment systems served by the breaker-and-a-half system were reduced overall, in some cases dropping dramatically to less than one expected interruption per 10,000 years. This improvement, however, came at the expense of requiring more circuit breakers in the distribution system's construction. Within this breaker-and-a-half distribution system, an optimal placement of loads and generators was algorithmically derived, which further improved the reliability of the system. This improvement over the base case was marginal, but the optimized placement configuration was able to reduce the expected interruption rate of the ship's radar system by over 40%.
Shipboard Power Systems Design and Verification Fundamentals

ISBN: 1118490002
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
The only book that covers fundamental shipboard design and verification concepts from individual devices to the system level Shipboard electrical system design and development requirements are fundamentally different from utility-based power generation and distribution requirements. Electrical engineers who are engaged in shipbuilding must understand various design elements to build both safe and energy-efficient power distribution systems. This book covers all the relevant technologies and regulations for building shipboard power systems, which include commercial ships, naval ships, offshore floating platforms, and offshore support vessels. In recent years, offshore floating platforms have been frequently discussed in exploring deep-water resources such as oil, gas, and wind energy. This book presents step-by-step shipboard electrical system design and verification fundamentals and provides information on individual electrical devices and practical design examples, along with ample illustrations to back them. In addition, Shipboard Power Systems Design and Verification Fundamentals: Presents real-world examples and supporting drawings for shipboard electrical system design Includes comprehensive coverage of domestic and international rules and regulations (e.g. IEEE 45, IEEE 1580) Covers advanced devices such as VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) in detail This book is an important read for all electrical system engineers working for shipbuilders and shipbuilding subcontractors, as well as for power engineers in general.

Design, Analysis, and Prototype for One-Cycle Controller

Book Description
As the Navy progresses into the 21st century, new concepts in shipboard electrical power management are being explored. One area of significant interest to the Navy is utilization of DC electrical distribution systems rather than traditional AC distribution systems. The DC Zonal Electrical Distribution System is a prime candidate for direct application to modem power distribution. This system employs solid state conversion devices to supply ships loads from one of two high voltage DC busses. A new type of control technique known as One Cycle Control has recently been proposed which may be of use in the control of these power converters. Specific advantages of this technique include: (1) no steady state or dynamic error between the control signal and the controlled variable, (2) robust performance, (3) power source perturbation rejection, (4) fast dynamic response to change in the control signal, (5) general switching applications, and (6) automatic switching error correction. The focus of this thesis is to validate the One Cycle Control theory through simulation and testing of a prototype controller.
