Energy and propulsion control systems for ships
Electric Ship. New Concepts, Power Control Systems, Design Constraints

The ship can be represented by functional entities which can be divided into five basic entities:

• machine (power generation, propulsion, machine auxiliaries, air conditioning, lighting, etc.) ;

• navigation (cartography, etc.) ;

• cargo loading/unloading (ballasting, air conditioning, etc.) ;

• communication (radio, satellite, internet, CCTV, etc.) ;
