Electrically propelled ships gained popularity by the early 20th century, with the rapid development of submarines and mediumcapacity container ships, mainly using dc motors [1]. Synchronous ac motors have since been employed for naval propulsion systems, but due to the restricted operation of the available power electronic devices at that time, these configurations were too expensive and unreliable, and they featured poor performance in terms of speed and torque control [2]. Improvements in power electronics devices and drive control schemes as well as the development of high-efficiency multiphase induction and synchronous motors have pushed the advancement of electric ship propulsion systems and applications [3]-[7].

电力电子和驱动：现代船舶推进系统的应用

到 20 世纪初，随着潜艇和中型集装箱船的快速发展，主要使用直流电机的电力推进船舶开始流行[1]。同步交流电机后来被用于船舶推进系统，但由于当时可用电力电子设备的运行受限，这些配置过于昂贵且不可靠，并且它们在速度和扭矩控制方面的性能较差[2] ]。电力电子设备和驱动控制方案的改进以及高效多相感应和同步电机的发展推动了电力船舶推进系统和应用的进步[3]-[7]。
