EE 560 Shipboard Electrical Power Systems
This course covers shipboard electrical generation, distribution and propulsion. The course offers students relevant shipboard architectures, an overview of class rules and certification requirements, three-phase power, protection, power electronics, energy storage methods, grounded and ungrounded systems, electric propulsion drives, and standards governing marine electrical systems. The course begins with a refresher of power systems and circuit analysis techniques including fundamental properties of electric system behavior, electric power concepts, 1-phase and 3-phase systems, phasor diagrams, dc systems, and the physical principles of power system building blocks consisting of rotating electric machinery, transformers and switchgear.
