Reeds Vol 16: Electrical Power Systems for Marine Engineers

A new title in the highly respected Reeds Marine Engineering Series, in response to the increasing reliance on electrical power systems in the marine and offshore industry.



Large passenger ships now carry as many electrical officers as marine engineers, electrical propulsion is now in common use by LNG carriers, small parcel tankers, oil tankers, ferries, offshore support, the navy, fleet auxiliary, cable layers and cruise ships, and a number of shipping companies now award the Chief Electro Technical Officer the equivalent rank to the ship's master and Chief Engineer. These developments have resulted in the establishment of a Foundation Degree programme for Electro Technical Officers and the current development of full degree programmes. As such, a targeted textbook for students on the subject is required.

As with all titles in the Reeds Marine Engineering Series, this book will be written in clear, accessible language, so as to be of use to all students and particularly those for whom English isn't their first language. Technical drawings and diagrams will be used throughout and each chapter will be accompanied by example examination questions.

Un nou titlu in seria foarte respectata Reeds Marine Engineering, ca raspuns la dependenta tot mai mare de sistemele de alimentare electrica din industria maritima si offshore. Navele mari de pasageri transporta acum la fel de multi ofiteri electrici ca ingineri marini, propulsia electrica este acum in uz comun de catre Transportatorii de GNL, micile colete, nave petroliere, feriboturi, suport offshore, marina, auxiliare de flota, straturi de cablu si nave de croaziera si o serie de companii de transport maritim acorda acum ofiterului sef electrotehnic rangul echivalent cu comandantul si inginerul sef al navei .
