Course overview
This course prepares marine electrical engineering students to develop and justify an integrated full electrical propulsion design for a dual-role tanker. It combines the vessel design requirements with the core electrical, machine, power-electronic, and marine propulsion theory needed to complete the design work and supporting calculations.
What you will learn
Interpret the tanker’s operating profile, load cases, and design constraints for an IFEP proposal.
Apply core DC, AC, and three-phase electrical principles to marine power-system calculations.
Compare machines, converters, distribution arrangements, and prime-mover options for shipboard electrical propulsion.
Design a justified IFEP architecture and single-line diagram for the specified vessel.
Estimate fuel use, operating cost, losses, and emissions across the vessel’s operating range.
