Download or read book Technology for the United States Navy and Marine Corps 2000 2035 written by and published by National Academies. This book was released on 1997 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future national security environment will present the naval forces with operational challenges that can best be met through the development of military capabilities that effectively leverage rapidly advancing technologies in many areas. The panel envisions a world where the naval forces will perform missions in the future similar to those they have historically undertaken. These missions will continue to include sea control, deterrence, power projection, sea lift, and so on. The missions will be accomplished through the use of platforms (ships, submarines, aircraft, and spacecraft), weapons (guns, missiles, bombs, torpedoes, and information), manpower, materiel, tactics, and processes (acquisition, logistics, and so on.). Accordingly, the Panel on Technology attempted to identify those technologies that will be of greatest importance to the future operations of the naval forces and to project trends in their development out to the year 2035. The primary objective of the panel was to determine which are the most critical technologies for the Department of the Navy to pursue to ensure U.S. dominance in future naval operations and to determine the future trends in these technologies and their impact on Navy and Marine Corps superiority. A vision of future naval operations ensued from this effort. These technologies form the base from which products, platforms, weapons, and capabilities are built. By combining multiple technologies with their future attributes, new systems and subsystems can be envisioned. Technology for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 2000-2035 Becoming a 21st-Century Force: Volume 2: Technology indentifies those technologies that are unique to the naval forces and whose development the Department of the Navy clearly must fund, as well as commercially dominated technologies that the panel believes the Navy and Marine Corps must learn to adapt as quickly as possible to naval applications. Since the development of many of the critical technologies is becoming global in nature, some consideration is given to foreign capabilities and trends as a way to assess potential adversaries' capabilities. Finally, the panel assessed the current state of the science and technology (S&T) establishment and processes within the Department of the Navy and makes recommendations that would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this vital area. The panel's findings and recommendations are presented in this report.

Download or read book Modern Ship Engineering Design and Operations written by Carlos Reusser and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some marine propulsion systems are based on thermal machines that operate under the diesel cycle. Their main advantages, compared to other propulsion systems based on thermal machines, are low specific fuel consumption and greater thermal efficiency. However, their main disadvantages lie in the emissions produced by combustion, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxide (SOx), and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Over the last decade, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted a series of regulations to reduce these emissions based on the introduction of several energy efficiency designs and operational indicators. In this context, this book focuses on the design and operation efficiency of ships through an analysis of the main propulsion systems. It discusses the use of alternative fuels as well as the integration of hybrid and fully electric propulsion systems.

Download or read book Analysis and Design of Hybrid Energy Storage Systems written by Jorge Garcia and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important environmental challenge today's society is facing is to reduce the effects of CO2 emissions and global warming. Such an ambitious challenge can only be achieved through a holistic approach, capable of tackling the problem from a multidisciplinary point of view. One of the core technologies called to play a critical role in this approach is the use of energy storage systems. These systems enable, among other things, the balancing of the stochastic behavior of Renewable Sources and Distributed Generation in modern Energy Systems; the efficient supply of industrial and consumer loads; the development of efficient and clean transport; and the development of Nearly-Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) and intelligent cities. Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) consist of two (or more) storage devices with complementary key characteristics, that are able to behave jointly with better performance than any of the technologies considered individually. Recent developments in storage device technologies, interface systems, control and monitoring techniques, or visualization and information technologies have driven the implementation of HESS in many industrial, commercial and domestic applications. This Special Issue focuses on the analysis, design and implementation of hybrid energy storage systems across a broad spectrum, encompassing different storage technologies (including electrochemical, capacitive, mechanical or mechanical storage devices), engineering branches (power electronics and control strategies; energy engineering; energy engineering; chemistry; modelling, simulation and emulation techniques; data analysis and algorithms; social and economic analysis; intelligent and Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems; and so on.), applications (energy systems, renewable energy generation, industrial applications, transportation, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and critical load supply, etc.) and evaluation and performance (size and weight benefits, efficiency and power loss, economic analysis, environmental costs, etc.).

This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting new book highlights and discusses new concepts for enhanced efficiency of ships and how they are operated, primarily resting on reducing the environmental footprints and operational expenses. An overview of technological and regulatory developments and drivers for the challenges described above is provided. Readers learn about sustainable energies and power for propulsion, particularly maritime electrification. The book includes shore-based initiatives on greenhouse gas reduction in shipping. Status and current practices for propulsion arrangements using renewable energy technologies are presented with examples on ships representing several categories of energies and power. Energy solutions that enable future digital and automated concepts for safe, secure, and cost-effective sustainable shipping are discussed, as well as the concept of autonomous ships as part of maritime electrification and all the possibilities. The development of renewable energies and the concept of autonomous ships provide glimpses for the development of future sustainable maritime transport solutions. Lessons learned and existing knowledge are important elements for successful transmission towards future concepts for safe, secure, and efficient maritime environmentally friendly and low-cost solutions to our sustainable power and energy challenges that lie ahead. The book discusses the work ahead and provides future thoughts on this issue.
