Master Program for Specialty in Electrical Power System and Automation

The discipline of Electric Power System and Automation was set up relying on the Leading Academic Discipline Project of Shanghai Education Commission. There are 3 professors. The objects of specialty research are power systems, which include shipboard power systems, port power systems and distributed electric power systems. Research contents include: power system control and reliability, power system optimization and energy intelligent scheduling, smart grid, distributed power systems and interconnect technology, all electric ship power system stability and control.    

This discipline has Shanghai Maritime University - Schneider Electric Joint Laboratory (shipboard power system lab) to carry out teaching and research works for shipboard power systems and automation. The marine power distribution control panel in the laboratory was designed independently which meets maritime industrial standards. There are three Dongfeng-Cummins diesel prime motor and Marathon generator units, tunable electrical load of Resistance-Inductance, various types of electrical parameter detection and analytical instruments, mathematical analysis software and electric system design and simulation software. This discipline has some invention patent, such as: “A kind of shipboard automatic electric power station development platform”. Potential graduates of this discipline could work in shipboard or port power systems design and control. Parts of the graduates further their study to the program of doctor’s degree of electric engineering.
