*New extended deadline for paper submissions* April 5, 2023
ESTS 2023 invites commercial, recreational, and military ship end-users, shipbuilders, port operators, classification societies, machinery and equipment manufacturers, research institutes, universities and other organizations around the world to present their views, opinions, studies, research, designs and future advances on a range of technical topics that relate broadly to the development and implementation of electric ship platforms. Naval platforms of interest to ESTS range from ships with traditional electric power distribution through fully electrified vessels. Panel sessions and poster presentations will be held for these topics.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following as applied to electric ships and vessels:
| Model-based Systems Engineering | Ship and System Level Models | Subsystem and Component Models |
| Digital Twin Development | Modeling Tool Development | Wide Bandgap Power Applications |
| Electric Propulsion and Generation | Power Conversion Topologies | Control Architectures and Methods |
| Energy Storage Systems | Fuel cells and Integration | Pulsating Loads and System Impact |
| Superconducting Devices & Systems | Dielectric Considerations | Wireless Charging at MW Scale |
| Electromagnetic Interference | Electromagnetic Compatibility | Charging and Charging Infrastructures |
| Common-mode Behavior | DC Power Distribution | Medium Freq. AC Power Distribution |
| Cabling Considerations | Protection for AC and DC Systems | Advanced Magnetics |
| Autonomous Vessel Design | Cyber-Physical System Considerations | Robust Communications Systems |
| Cold-Ironing and Shore Power | Battery-Electric Ship Implementations | Decarbonization & Carbon Capture |
| Emission Control Systems | Cooling Systems & Thermal Solutions | Renewable Generation Sources |
