A Novel Power Systems Program at the Naval Postgraduate School
Abstract
The Power Systems program at the Naval
Postgraduate School is a unique academic endeavor which seeks to both educate Navy officers in relevant advanced technologies
and to complement the research efforts on-going at the government laboratories. The move toward incorporating more electric
technology into naval combatant shipboard power systems and the requisite analysis of such finite-inertia, stiffly connected
systems have driven the development of a program that intermixes power electronics, electric machines, and microprocessors. Through work emphasizing analysis, handson
hardware investigation and simulation, the students are exposed to the diverse issues encountered in power system research. The students are also presented unique opportunities to interact on-site with various government laboratory sponsors
to further draw the connection between theory and hardware implementation.
