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:

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.

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:

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.

This book delves into the diverse prerequisites for grounding and earthing in contemporary ship power systems, addressing the evolving landscape of ship design influenced by power electronics

The introduction of transformative technologies such as variable frequency drives and electric propulsion systems has heightened the complexity of shipboard grounding systems. This complexity necessitates accommodation for robust electronic systems, extending the focus beyond traditional grounding aspects to include common mode grounding and its profound design implications. Engineers now require a comprehensive guide to navigate the intricacies of shipboard electric power systems.

To meet this imperative, Design of Shipboard Power System Grounding/Earthing provides an in-depth exploration of the subject. It offers a step-by-step initiation into the grounding process, supported by numerous case studies for enhanced comprehension. Aligned with both US and international standards, this book serves as an essential resource for engineers engaged in the design and implementation of shipboard power systems.

Key highlights for readers encompass meticulous comparisons between terrestrial power system grounding and shipboard power grounding, as well as comprehensive discussions on high resistance grounding, shipboard AC system grounding requirements, DC system grounding, and more, including common mode grounding and earthing. The inclusion of abundant engineering drawings supports significant case studies, enhancing the practical application of the material.

Designed to cater to a broad audience, Design of Shipboard Power System Grounding/Earthing is invaluable for readers involved with shipboard electrical systems, including shipbuilders, ship designers, ship operators, and those in regulatory bodies such as the Navy, USCG, ABS, among others. This resource is also well-suited for academicians, particularly final-year undergraduate and graduate students in marine electrical engineering programs.
