Publisher's Synopsis
RAND presents a framework for assessing various components of electric drive propulsion for naval vessels and determining their effects on overall ship performance. To help the Navy assess the benefits of electric drive propulsion for naval vessels, RAND has developed a framework for assessing key technological components, such as motors, generators, and power electronics. This documented briefing outlines the approach the authors developed for making such assessments suggests how this information can be integrated to assess the affects on overall ship performance.
