Course content

1. Introduction to maritime energy systems - general overview

2. Introduction to systems:

  • Propulsion. Different systems and typical behaviour.
  • Auxiliary systems such as fuel, cooling, lubrication exhaust.
  • Energy balance and use of heat exchangers, pumps and compressors.
  • Energy production and power transmissions (mechanical, electric, hydraulic).
  • Electric power production using diesel and gas turbines. Electric motors.
  • Ships systems like manoeuvring, cargo handling, marine operations etc.
  • Process equipment of cleaning of gases and fluids.
  • Automation alarms and control. Basic control theory.

3. Analysis and synthesis of systems:

  • Diagrams and specifications
  • Power analysis - propulsion and electric systems
  • Heat and energy analysis
  • Fluid flow analysis
  • Reliability, safety and risk analyses

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

  • After passing the exam the student should know the main principles of different ship machinery systems, including main propulsion, auxiliary systems for main propulsion, cargo handling and ship survival systems.
  • The student shall also know different methodology and tools to perform design analysis using basic laws of mass and energy conservation, stress and reliability analysis, as well as the importance of energy efficiency and environmental technology.
  • The student shall know the basics of the design process going from a specification via schematics to detailed drawings and plans including the process of design approval by authorities and classification societies.

Competence:

  • The student should be able to perform machinery systems design and analysis based on basic engineering laws and framework.
  • The student shall be able to apply basic methods of systems engineering design.

General competence:

  • Ability to approach complex systems, make simplifications and solve sub-systems, as well as keeping the overall requirements and interactions to other sub-systems serving a mission.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, exercises, demonstrations in the lab. individual mandatory assignments and exam project work in groups. 75% of the mandatory assignments have to be approved before admission to examination.

Compulsory assignments

  • Mandatory assignments

Further on evaluation

4 hours written exam 60% of the grade Project report 40% of the grade Minimum requirement for approval must be obtained for both exam and report. Re-sit examination: Students are entitled to re-sit the written exam if they have legitimate reasons for absence, or have failed. The re-sit exam for the written exam is an oral exam. If students fail the assignment portfolio, they have to retake it during the next ordinary examination semester.
