Electric Ship Technologies Symposium (Member Access)

Electric ship technologies allow ship architects to configure small engines in multiple places onboard and outboard, resulting in the elimination of huge mechanical drive shafts and gears. Power electronics provides new methods of control and efficiency. An online virtual test bed is used to prototype both design algorithms and actual equipment. The Electric Ship Technologies Symposium is a New Technology Direction for IEEE, organized with the cooperation of 6 IEEE Societies and others.
