A Brief Emerging Tecnologies Overview

Other Emerging Technologies:

Electric Vehicles

Technologies: Battery Powered Electric Vehicles (BPEV) - Lithium polymer and lithium ion batteries; Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) – gasoline and batteries, on-board generator and plug-in types; Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) – on-board hydrogen or on-board reformer.

Electric Ship

Technologies:

  • Electric Power Generation (nuclear, fuels cells, advanced generators, solar power and alternative fuels)

  • Electric Propulsion Technology (Machines, Drives, Propulsors; advanced induction motor, permanent magnet motor or high temperature superconducting motor)

  • Electrical Power Conversion (power electronic converters, increased current densities, IGBTs for up to 6 kV), Distribution (main bus architecture, DC distribution), and Storage

  • Control and Automation (weak power grids; high power density electromagnetic actuators to replace hydraulic actuators)

  • Power Quality and Impact of Pulsed Power Loads

  • Electric Ship System Integration

  • Next-Generation Integrated Electric Power Systems (NGIPS)

  • Heat transfer and thermal management (discard, reuse and store waste heat; emerging technologies include: thermal electric cooling, spray cooling, microchannel cooling and advanced heat pipes)

  • Protection, Reconfiguration, and Survivability

  • New simulation tools for complex power systems

  • Electrical Ship Standards

Internet- and multimedia-based education technologies

Internet- and multimedia-based education technologies are already established to a significant degree but continuously developing, as applied to power system education (e.g. Interconnected Power Systems Laboratory at the Center of Electric Power Engineering, Drexel University [1], etc.).
