Shipboard condition based maintenance and integrated power system initiatives
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
With the U.S. Navy's continued focus on developing and implementing a robust integrated power system aboard future combatants, there has been an ever increasing effort to guarantee an electrical distribution system that ...
Spatiotemporal processing and time-reversal for underwater acoustic communications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
High-rate underwater acoustic communication can be achieved using transmitter/receiver arrays. Underwater acoustic channels can be characterized as rapidly time-varying systems that suffer severe Inter Symbol Interferences ...
Analysis of harmonic distortion in an Integrated Power System for naval applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
This research quantifies the voltage distortion over the broad range of operating conditions experienced by a Naval warship. A steady state model of an Integrated Power System (IPS) was developed in a commercially available ...
DC to DC power conversion module for the all-electric ship
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The MIT end to end electric ship model is being developed to study competing electric ship designs. This project produced a model of a Power Conversion Module (PCM)- 4, DC-to-DC converter which interfaces with the MIT ...
Evaluation and comparison of electric propulsion motors for submarines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Autonomous adaptation and collaboration of unmanned vehicles for tracking submerged contacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Autonomous operations are vital to future naval operations. Unmanned systems, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), are anticipated to play a key role for critical tasks ...
Design and analysis of a permanent magnet generator for naval applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
This paper discusses the electrical and magnetic design and analysis of a permanent magnet generation module for naval applications. Numerous design issues are addressed and several issues are raised about the potential ...
Modeling magnetic core loss for sinusoidal waveforms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Among the challenging unsolved technical problems that have plagued the minds of scientist and engineers throughout the 20th and 21st century is the development of a quantifiable model to accurately estimate or explain ...
A two-phase spherical electric machine for generating rotating uniform magnetic fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis describes the design and construction of a novel two-phase spherical electric machine that generates rotating uniform magnetic fields, known as a fluxball machine. Alternative methods for producing uniform ...
Shipboard applications of non-intrusive load monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The Non-Intrusive Load Monitor (NILM) provides a method of measuring component performance and source power quality through a single point of entry in the power distribution system. A study was performed utilizing the NILM ...
