Designing the Electric Energy System of Ships (2nd) [ebook]

This book is intended to be a reference guide for those engineers dealing with the design and operation of ship electric energy systems. Modern ships tend to be more and more electrified, hence their electric energy system is of utmost importance, especially considering its predominant role in total efficiency, emissions, and fuel consumption
This guide to designing the electric energy system of ships covers the following topics:
– The main operation of electric load balance analysis, accompanied by the generator energy systems
– The detailed method of electric load balance analysis, accompanied by the generator sizing procedure
– The major issues of short circuit calculation study, mainly as outlined by IEC61363
– The generic method of designing the electric power distribution network of the ship
– The major issues of the synchronised operation of ship generators
– An overview of the power supply quality terms as met aboard a ship
– The methodology to design the most efficient earthing scheme of a ship electric energy system is presented
