The newly revised edition of The Marine Engineering Series: Integrated Electric Propulsion contains significant improvements and updates. Integrated Electric Propulsion (IEP), char acteristic of an Integrated Power System (IPS), enables the same set of prime movers to provide ship propulsion via electric motors and drives while simultaneously providing electrical power to non-propulsion (hotel) loads. While electric propulsion has been incorporated into ships for over a century, the introduction of affordable high power semiconductor switches in the late 1980's facilitated the wider employment of IEP in commercial and naval vessels.
