The objective of this course it to obtain an overview of the most common power conversion systems in marine applications, as a background for understanding practical control strategies commonly used in industry and for applying modern control theory to such systems.

The course will give an introduction to control of electric power conversion systems in marine applications. The course will cover the following issues:

1. Overview of common power system configurations (AC or DC distribution) for electric ship propulsion.
2. Basic control principles of synchronous generators.
3. Power electronic converter applications for variable speed motor drives and energy storage systems.
4. Common engineering methods for control of three-phase power electronic converters.
5. Overview of emerging control methods for power electronic converters.
6. Introduction to advanced control concepts for operation of marine microgrids.

Scientific publications to be specified during the course, lecture notes.

Oral exam – 20 min. presentation and 20 min examination on a given problem.
