Applying author Mukund Patel's rare combination of industrial and educational work experiences and insight, it offers solutions to meet the increasing demand for large, fast, efficient, and reconfigurable ships to compete in international markets. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor 30 years, Professor Patel was an engineer for companies including General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Westinghouse Electric, and in the past 15 years he has been an engineering professor at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. That varied experience helped him zero in on the specialized multidimensional knowledge an engineer requires-and that is what sets his book apart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompiles Critical, Hard-to-Find Information on Power System Design, Analysis, and Operation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe global shortage of power engineers is not deterring countries from heavily investing in construction of new power plants and grids. Consequent growth in university electrical power programs is satisfying the demand for engineers, but novice graduates require accelerated understanding and practical experience before entering the thriving maritime segment. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeal for readers with limited electrical experience, wide-ranging coverage includes power system basics, power generation, electrical machines, power distribution, batteries, and marine industry standards. This book is an invaluable tool for engineers working on ships, as well as in ports, industrial power plants, refineries, and other similar environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47577199673495,"sku":"9781439828168","price":26125.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781439828168.webp?v=1774902816","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shipboard-electrical-power-systems-9781439828168","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
