Description

Design of Propulsion and Electric Power Generation Systems

This guide provides information on designing propulsion and electric power generation systems, focusing on marine systems engineering.

The guide to the design of propulsion and electric power generation systems covers the following topics: 

• The principles of marine engineering 
• the main components of propulsion and electric power supply systems 
• the resistance and propulsion characteristics of ships and the electric power demand 
• energy conversion 

• the operating principles and elements of machinery and equipment on board (including diesel engines, gas turbines, electric motors and screw-type propellers) 
• matching the propulsion engine to the propeller 
• ship fuel consumption and exhaust emission. 

The publication comes with an Exercises Annex with practical examples to aid in comprehending and strengthening the concepts discussed.
