Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Modern ships rely on integrated electrical, automation, instrumentation, and control systems to support propulsion, navigation, communication, cargo operations, safety, and onboard services. Understanding these systems requires knowledge of electrical generation, distribution, motors, monitoring, automation, and power management.

MARINE ELECTRICAL AND AUTOMATION ENGINEERING provides a structured exploration of the engineering principles behind modern shipboard electrical and automation systems. The book examines generators, motors, electrical distribution, instrumentation, control systems, monitoring technologies, and marine power management.

Readers will explore how electrical energy is generated and distributed throughout a vessel and how automation and control systems coordinate different onboard operations. The book also considers sensors, measurement systems, alarms, monitoring equipment, and the integration of electrical and automation technologies.

Key topics include:

* Fundamentals of marine electrical engineering* Shipboard electrical power systems* Marine generators and power generation* Transformers and electrical distribution* Marine motors and electrical drives* Switchboards and electrical equipment* Marine automation and control systems* Sensors and instrumentation* Shipboard monitoring and alarm systems* Power management and load coordination* Electrical protection and fault considerations* Control system integration* Equipment reliability and maintenance>The book approaches shipboard electrical engineering as an integrated system in which generation, distribution, motors, automation, instrumentation, and control technologies work together to support vessel operations. Readers will examine how electrical and automated systems interact and how monitoring and control contribute to reliable operation.

Particular attention is given to marine power management, where generation capacity, electrical loads, distribution equipment, and automated control must be coordinated according to vessel operating conditions. The book also considers the importance of inspection, maintenance, protection, and safety in marine electrical environments.

For marine engineers, electrical engineers, marine engineering students, shipboard technicians, automation professionals, instrumentation specialists, and technical readers, MARINE ELECTRICAL AND AUTOMATION ENGINEERING provides a broad foundation for understanding shipboard electrical systems, generators, motors, automation, instrumentation, control systems, monitoring, and marine power management.
