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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Analysis of system wide distortion in an integrated power system utilizing a high voltage DC bus and silicon carbide power devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This research investigates the distortion on the electrical distribution system for a high voltage DC Integrated Power System (IPS). The analysis was concentrated on the power supplied to a propulsion motor driven by an ...
Modeling for ship power system emulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
With the U.S. Navy's continued focus on Integrated Fight Thru Power (IFTP) there has been an ever increasing effort to ensure an electrical distribution system that maintains maximum capabilities in the event of system ...
Cooperative tracking for persistent littoral undersea surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The US Navy has identified a need for an autonomous, persistent, forward deployed system to Detect, Classify, and Locate submarines. In this context, we investigate a novel method for multiple sensor platforms acting ...
