About

About the course

Course content

The course starts with an introduction to electric analysis techniques, with basis on electro-technical concepts, laws, and properties for electric systems, such as circuit analysis, electric power, 1-phase and 3-phase systems, phasor diagrams, electro-magnetic energy conversion, and operational principals of transformers and electric machinery.
The course continues with a study of electric power generation and distribution, electric propulsion systems, and other loads for marine vessels. Main focus is on understanding different electric power systems for marine vessels, the properties/characteristics of relevant system components, safety and redundancy principles, monitoring and control systems, and safe and optimal operation. The course will give insight into industrial practice and industrial solutions, and an evaluation of marine electric power plants with respect to class rules, requirements, and legislation.

Learning outcome

The course aims to give the students an introduction to electro-technical engineering and an understanding of marine electric power systems of importance for management, engineering, design, and analysis of electric systems on ships and platforms.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and exercises (calculation and data exercises). Written exam and mandatory computer exercises are the basis for the grade in the course. Postponed/repeated exams may be oral.

Course materials

Book, compendium, lecture notes, and relevant articles and presentations.
