A evolução da propulsão elétrica

Abstract

This work aims to present the use of electric propulsion, the space conquered in the market every day and also show that this technology is not as current as many believe, dates from the nineteenth century that steady progress in the admission of electric propulsion in the market. This work will seek to document the evolution of this type of prop ulsion initially adopted in icebreaker projects and specialized vessels and that now reaches new markets, starting from an historical perspective initially. In the case of electric propulsion, an overview of the converters used will be made available, main ly relating their principles of operation, as well as list the main advantages and disadvantages of electric propulsion in relation to mechanical propulsion. Thus, a future perspective will be drawn upon new possibilities and the current market layout, new technologies and economic interest of the maritime industry.
