Within the marine and offshore industry, there is a clear and growing
need for increased training and education on the use of electrical
power systems. The number of electrical plant and appliances now in
service has grown at an alarming rate in recent years, as has the
amount of electrical power generated and utilised on board. Large
passenger ships now carry as many electrical officers as marine
engineers, and 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. 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.
