Integrated Propulsion Systems
Syllabus
- Power driven machines: steam turbines, gas turbines; diesel engines: two-stroke, four-stroke.
- Generating electricity: synchronous generators, excitation of synchronous generators.
- Power plant systems: auxiliary machines, main machine
- Propulsion of the ship
- Electric propulsion components: synchronous motors, asynchronous motors, static

Goals and competencies
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the factors that influence the maritime aspect of planning and design of ports and waterways, in particular navigable routes for approaching the coast in restricted maritime areas. Particular emphasis is placed on defining the parameters of ports and waterways, which directly or indirectly affect the safety of maneuvering and during the berthing of the ship at the berth site. The criteria for designing from the point of view of navigation safety and marine protection are defined, and above all, the measures for the safety of navigation or, maritime transport. The objective of the course is also the conquest of analytical methods for calculating project parameters. The subject provides a scientific basis for a detailed study of this field. directly affect the safety of maneuvering and during the berth of the ship at the berth site.
