How well do we really understand the electrical systems powering today’s vessels? Many of us realize how important electricity is to our modern world but may be a bit shaky on the specifics. The Welsh comedian Tommy Cooper once joked, "Electricity is a wonderful thing. Do you realize that if we didn't have electricity, we'd be watching television by candlelight?"
For those who have worked on vessels for many years, the increasing complexity may be a sore point, especially for those who have been hands-on in their careers and been zapped a few times. George Carlin once joked, "Electricity is really just organized lightning."
The Growing Complexity of Marine Electrical Systems
All kidding aside, the growing complexity of marine electrical engineering is becoming a defining factor in modern vessel design and operation. At EBDG, we have been fortunate to develop significant experience in hybrid technologies over the last decade. However, if that immediately elicits thoughts of a Prius or Tesla, there is much more happening electrically onboard today’s vessels and understanding these systems is becoming increasingly important as vessel designs continue to evolve.
