In this edition, the electrical area will be treated in three chapters:
Integrated Electrical Propulsion, by Dr. Norbert Doerry, Capt. USN (Ret.), NAVSEA Fuel Cells, Solar Power and Energy Storage, by Prof. Jing Sun, University of Michigan; Prof. Mukund Patel, USMMA and Dr. Jun Hou, Apple Corp. Electrical Distribution Systems, by William Ayers, Chief Electrical Engineer/Technical Manager, Elliott Bay Design Group.
Each of these outstanding authors is an electrical engineering graduate and a member of IEEE as well as SNAME. They all have extensive experience in the application of power and control to marine and other transportation applications. Collectively they provide an excellent introduction to and coverage of the modern use of electrical power in marine applications. Norbert Doerry’s chapter addresses medium voltage alternating current and direct current integrated systems. Professors Sun and Patel and Dr. Hou address fuel cells, solar cells and energy storage devices (batteries, ultra-capacitors. flywheels) available and evolving for use in hybrid applications. The final chapter addresses the lower voltage, ship service distribution system design and development as well as hybrid systems.
*Please be aware that if you select the "International" or "Not Trackable" shipping methods, we are not responsible for lost and/or damaged shipments. This means the package may not be tracked during any point of transit, including whether the carrier received the package. In certain instances, the carrier may be able to provide a reference number that is only associated with the package, and it may or may not be used for tracking purposes.
