This book delves into the diverse prerequisites for grounding and earthing in contemporary ship power systems, addressing the evolving landscape of ship design influenced by power electronics

The introduction of transformative technologies such as variable frequency drives and electric propulsion systems has heightened the complexity of shipboard grounding systems. This complexity necessitates accommodation for robust electronic systems, extending the focus beyond traditional grounding aspects to include common mode grounding and its profound design implications. Engineers now require a comprehensive guide to navigate the intricacies of shipboard electric power systems.

To meet this imperative, Design of Shipboard Power System Grounding/Earthing provides an in-depth exploration of the subject. It offers a step-by-step initiation into the grounding process, supported by numerous case studies for enhanced comprehension. Aligned with both US and international standards, this book serves as an essential resource for engineers engaged in the design and implementation of shipboard power systems.

Key highlights for readers encompass meticulous comparisons between terrestrial power system grounding and shipboard power grounding, as well as comprehensive discussions on high resistance grounding, shipboard AC system grounding requirements, DC system grounding, and more, including common mode grounding and earthing. The inclusion of abundant engineering drawings supports significant case studies, enhancing the practical application of the material.

Designed to cater to a broad audience, Design of Shipboard Power System Grounding/Earthing is invaluable for readers involved with shipboard electrical systems, including shipbuilders, ship designers, ship operators, and those in regulatory bodies such as the Navy, USCG, ABS, among others. This resource is also well-suited for academicians, particularly final-year undergraduate and graduate students in marine electrical engineering programs.

Norbert Doerry, PhD, is a naval engineer with a PhD in naval electrical power systems and with over 35 years of experience in innovation, invention, science and technology, research and development acquisition, design, construction, in-service support, and ship operations.

Mohammed M. Islam currently serves as the Chair of IEEE 45.7 Switchboard Standard working group. He has been involved in the 'All Electric Ship Design and Development' and R&D programs for many years. He was the principal investigator of the Ship Smart-System Design (S3D) feasibility study, an ONR funded resaerch and development project. He was the R&D manager of Ship System Applied Science at Northrop Grumman Ship Systems. He served as the IEEE-45 central committee chair and chair of numerous IEEE 45 series Standards.

John Prousalidis, PhD, is a Professor with the Academic Staff of the School of naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. He is a reviewer of IEEE and IET journal papers, a member of the Editorial Board of the IET journal 'Power Systems in Transportation', and of the International Journal of Ocean Systems Management (IJOSM) of Indersience Publishers.
