Marine steam boilers recently achieved 10 MPa pressure, in comparison to stationary plants, where a typical boiler pressure of 17 MPa was the standard for years. The latest land-based, ultra-supercritical steam boilers reach 25 MPa pressure and 620 °C temperatures, which increases plant efficiency and reduces fuel consumption. There is little chance that such a plant concept could be applied to ships. The reliability of marine power systems has to be higher due to the lack of available spare parts and services that are available for shore power systems. Some systems are still very expensive and are not able to be widely utilized for commercial merchant fleets such as COGAS, mainly due to the high cost of gas turbines. Submarine vehicles are also part of marine power systems, which have to be reliable and accurate in their operation due to their distant control centers. Materials that are used in marine environments are prone to faster corrosive wear, so special care also should be taken in this regard. The main aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the options and possibilities of utilizing energy in a more economical way, taking into account the reliability of such a system in operation.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscabsorption coolingatmospheric drain tankCODLAGcogenerationcombined cycledata-driven modellingdecay state coefficientsdiesel engine turbochargerenergy analysisexergy analysisexergy destructionexergy efficiencyfailure diagnosisfault tree analysisflexible foundationfuel consumptiongenetic programmingheating and cooling outputhydraulic jetisolationjet parameterLNG tankermaintenancemarine diesel enginemarine propulsionmarine steam turbinemechanical failureMLP neural networkn/aNOx emissionsoperation efficiencyoptimizationpropulsion failurepropulsion failure analysispropulsion main enginereliabilitysplit injectionsubmarine cabletrigeneration energy systemturbine cylindersunderwater vehiclevibration mitigationHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesPoljak Igoredt1314877Poljak IgorothBOOK9910557614003321Marine Power Systems3032080UNINA
