J02 – IFEP System Design for a Dual-Role Tanker
This course prepares you to develop and justify an integrated full electrical propulsion (IFEP) 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.

Course overview
Relevance to CPD: Develops the integrated design, sizing and cost-and-emissions reasoning engineers apply when proposing or reviewing electric propulsion plant for ships.
1. Interpret the tanker's operating profile, load cases, and design constraints for an IFEP proposal.
Designed for: engineering graduates looking for refresher courses in niche expert areas.
Entry requirements: an engineering degree or equivalent experience, plus algebra, trigonometry, complex numbers and basic spreadsheet skills; DC, AC and three-phase basics are revisited.
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.
