Sažetak
Incidents during recent decades caused an increase of invests in boosting the safety and service reliability of fleet to a higher standard. But the question is how to find the most risky areas, arrangements and systems, also the most cost-effective ways to improve ship safety. There are numerous ways of increasing safety on board. What has been missing however is a systematic comprehensive and practical method for establishing the most effective ways for increasing safety and service reliability? The electrical power supply and distribution systems are ideal solutions for the safety of a ship in its entirety. It must be taken in the consideration here that the energy requirement on seagoing vessels is continuously increasing and that these types of systems are increasingly operating close to their limits. Engineers and scientists are constantly looking for approaches to find optimal solutions, perform analysis, balance multiple alternatives and incorporate optimization methods in their models. In education practice it is useful to combine computer simulation, simulator and laboratory exercises. MatLab® demos and MathWorks can provide very powerful means in education process. MatLab provides immediate access to the specialized graphic features required in both engineering and science. The Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox are closely integrated with MATLAB and the Optimisation Toolbox. We can use the genetic algorithm and pattern search to find good starting points and then take advantage of the Optimisation Toolbox solvers or MATLAB routines to further refine your optimisation. By combining algorithms, we can leverage the strengths of the toolboxes and MATLAB to improve the quality of your solutions. For certain problems, this approach will also help to find global solutions. The purpose of this paper is to show how education of seafarers and maritime college students (Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split) contributes to greater security and reliability power energy system on board.
