Energy Management in a Submarine
17th February-5.30 for 6.00pm
 |
So you think you have it hard? |
Saving power in our homes and business; switching off lights, computers, TV's, etc, is becoming a habit, but if we don't so what? There is plenty more where that came from?.
Try running your home or business like this in a submarine. The Defence Department does and this is how they make do generating their own power.
Submarines can broadly be categorised by their energy source: nuclear submarines and diesel-electric submarines. For all submarines and especially for diesel-electric submarines, energy management is a critical issue that is engrained deep into the culture of the submariner. Indeed, wasteful use of energy resources can mean the difference between life and death.
This light hearted and entertaining presentation will be structured around first hand experiences of life at sea managing amps.

The presenter is Commander Forbes Peters RANR. Forbes recently retired from the Royal Australian Navy and now serves as an officer with the Naval Reserve Force. Forbes' day job is as a senior system engineer with Nova Group in Brisbane. Forbes served for twenty-two years as an electrical engineer in the navy specialising in submarine engineering. He served in Oberon Class and Collins Class Submarines and project managed training, maintenance and upgrade programs during his naval career. His final position with the navy was as the senior naval officer - South Queensland . In order to keep the presentation at an unclassified level Forbes will concentrate his presentation on experiences in the older Oberon Class submarines. |
