Bücher von Mukund (U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Patel

Derived from the author's more than 45 years of experience in industry and teaching, this book covers modern shipboard propulsion and the power electronics and ocean energy technologies that drive it¿all in one volume. Divided into four parts, the text first focuses on power electronics convertors and variable-frequency drives. It then addresses the electric propulsion of ships, discussing the recently developed permanent magnet and superconducting motors, as well as hybrid propulsion. The book also explores emerging ocean power technologies and examines two aspects¿energy storage and system reliability¿that are essential for integrating a large-scale system.
