The age of the electric ship is upon us.  Both naval warships and commercial ships are increasingly using integrated power systems employing electricity to power propulsion and ship service systems.  In naval applications, advanced sensors, novel propulsion/mobility systems, and combat systems are enabled by the electric warship.  These new capabilities offer opportunities to radically change the types and number of ships comprising the future fleet to reduce Total Ownership Cost while still meeting the fleet demands in a very dynamic business and security environment.  Likewise, similar opportunities exist for the offshore industry, shipping industry, and cruise line industry to take advantage of integrated power systems to increase revenue and profitability. 

This ASNE/SNAME symposium will explore, through panel discussion, conference papers, and workshop breakout sessions, the opportunities that the electric ship will have on ship and fleet design of the future and identify key barriers and enablers to realize these opportunities. 

Technical Program Highlights:

• Leaders of industry, government, and academia from around the world are developing papers and presentations for stimulating panel and workshop discussions.
• Parallel technical sessions will address the diverse technical issues of Electric Machinery Systems, Mobility Systems, Total-Ship Life-Cycle Considerations, System/Design Integration, and Ship/System Concepts.
