120 credits in science/engineering, including 60 credits in electrical engineering. In addition 10 credits at Master's level including Power Electronics II. Participation in one of the courses Rotating Electrical Machines and Design of Electric Motors. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- describe how an electric boat or ship function and its future possibilities,
- describe the development and function of charging infrastructures at harbours and other marine facilities,
- identify and compare propulsion systems and hydromechanics in different kinds of electric and fossile driven boats and ships,
- plan and analyze how an electric boat ride, including charging, could be performed and, from the aspect of the system function, assess which challenges should be considered.
Content
Electric boats and ships, their functions, drivelines, and how they can be charged in harbours. Drivelines and hydromechanics in different variants of electrically and petrol driven boats and ships. Functions of electric boats and ships in marine environments and comparisions with todays technology with diesel and petrol driven ships.
Instruction
Lectures and seminars.
Assessment
Seminars.
If there are special reasons for doing so, the examiner may make exceptions from the specified examination method of assessment and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
