IEEE ELECTRIC SHIP TECHNOLOGIES SYMPOSIUM (IEEE ESTS 2015)
Abstract
This proposal is submitted to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to request financial assistance in the form of a grant to support the IEEE Electric Ship Technologies Symposium (ESTS 2015) to be held in June in the Washington, DC area. It will be the sixth meeting of its kind, bringing together multiple spheres of technical expertise/focus that, in a single venue, enable addressing Electric Ship Technology (EST) issues in previously unparalleled scope and detail. ESTS 2015 is sponsored by the IEEE Power and Energy Society and the IEEE Power Electronics Society. This symposium will bring together a unique mix of ship users (navies, coast guards and commercial marines), shipbuilders/ship system integrators, university/industrial researchers, and marine/technical organizations. Interchange between these various ESTS players will be facilitated by a program featuring a balance of panel session discussions and papers presented in key technical tracks. Both the forum and the content are of particular interest to ONR. The forum should be an important step in making the latest advances in electronic and electrical engineering available to the ship builders, designers, and users of future electric ships. In addition, the content is important because many of the technical topics discussed are high priority in ONR-funded research, including: ? Integrated Electric Power System, Architectures, including Breakerless and Superconducting DC Systems, ? Electric Ship Design Tools, Methods, and Guidelines (Analysis, Synthesis, Modeling & Simulation), ? Electric Propulsion and Generation (Machines, Variable Speed Drives, Propulsors), ? Electrical Power Conversion for DC Distribution, including active current limitation, ? Energy Storage and Pulsating Loads: Integration, Control, and Impact on System Performance, ? Power Distribution, Cabling, and Grounding, ? Power Distribution, Cabling, and Grounding, ? Protection, Reconfiguration, and Survivability, ? Power System Control Methods and Architectures. Financial support from ONR is requested in the form of a $10,000 grant to assist in covering a portion of core expenses essential to offering a quality meeting, documented by a well prepared archival record readily available for electronic dissemination. Specifically, the grant funds are to be used to assist with costs for producing the symposium publication (CD form), Final Program production, reduced-cost student registrations, and necessary conference administration, service, and local arrangement (non-social) charges. Support of the type requested from ONR by this proposal is typical of assistance provided to meetings sponsored by IEEE, enabling offering quality meetings at reasonable registration rates.
