Call for Tutorials

Sponsored by: IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) and IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS)
Technical Sponsor: IEEE Transportation Electrification Community (TEC)

The ESTS 2023 Technical Program Committee solicits tutorial presentation submissions 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. 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 Device 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

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 tutorials on these subjects.

Tutorial Format

The technical committee seeks one- or two-hour tutorial proposals, which should provide instructional materials on relevant topics within the scope of the above major technical areas. There is no cost to attend the tutorial sessions and attendance is open to the public. Accepted tutorials may be recorded and posted on the ESTS website, and tutorial materials may appear on IEEE Xplore.

Public Disclosure

All tutorial materials contributed by authors must be approved for public disclosure prior to submission or presentation. Please note that the technical committee cannot accept restricted distribution submissions for consideration.

Submission of Tutorial Proposals

Proposals should concisely describe the relevance of the tutorial to electric ship technologies and contain the following sections: Title, Outline, Speaker(s) and the topics they will cover, and Brief CVs (less than 300 words per speaker).

The instructor(s) should indicate any presentation requirements (e.g. multimedia) and any plans to provide case studies, practical examples, or hands-on activities. Submitted tutorial proposals should not exceed four pages and should be sent to the Tutorials Chair in a single PDF file at opila@usna.edu by the deadline below. Organizational approvals for any material being presented must be completed by the final tutorial material deadline below. If you have any questions, please contact the Tutorials Chair.
