Call for Papers

IEEE ELECTRIC SHIP TECHNOLOGIES SYMPOSIUM

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

The ESTS 2021 will focus on emerging electric ship technologies in the following major technical areas:

Model-based systems engineering: ship and system-level models, methods and guidelines, including digital twin development
Model-based systems engineering: subsystem-level, converter, & component models, methods and guidelines
Electric propulsion and generation (machines, variable speed drives, propulsors)
Electrical power conversion for DC distribution, including active current limitation
Energy storage and pulsating loads: integration, control, and impact on system performance
Power distribution, cabling, superconducting DC systems, and dielectric challenges at medium voltage
Electromagnetic interference, electromagnetic compatibility, grounding, and common-mode behavior
Protection, reconfiguration, and survivability
Power system control methods and architectures
Cyber-physical system considerations for shipboard platforms

The ESTS 2021 invites commercial & 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 these subjects. Panel sessions and poster presentations will be held for these topics.

Submission of Papers

Those wishing to present contributions are invited to submit complete papers to the ESTS 2021 Technical Committee via ePapers. Authors are encouraged to limit content to 8 pages in final format; papers with more than 10 pages in final format will not be accepted. Submissions must include paper title, name(s) of principal author(s) and organization(s) including city, country, and email address. A template to assist authors in manuscript preparation is also available on the on the author help page at ePapers. Please note that full papers are required at the time of initial submission.

Public Disclosure

All papers and presentations contributed by authors must be approved for public disclosure prior to submission. Please note that the technical committee cannot accept restricted distribution submissions for consideration.

Acceptance of Papers

The authors of accepted papers will be requested to submit final manuscripts for inclusion in the Proceedings by the deadline below. Accepted papers must adhere to IEEE formatting guidelines, and must be presented at the conference in order be included in IEEE Xplore. Please note that the final manuscript submission is intended to provide authors with the opportunity to address minor and/or cosmetic errors in the original manuscript and to ensure PDF eXpress compliance; authors are strongly discouraged from making material changes to the manuscript after the initial submission.
