Advancing New Technologies in Electrical Ships: IEEE standards are the risk mitigation tool.

摘要

Thanks to the continuously increasing computing speed, 21st-century new technologies are coming more rapidly than ever before. This has created a paradox that research and development time for new technologies is shrinking; however, the transition time of new technologies into real products is growing. One of the reasons for this growth in the product development time is that, in complex systems, not all assumptions can be defined precisely and many corrections are made during the integration of new technologies into the real world. Another reason is the ?not invented here? syndrome and very little respect toward engineering standards among many academic and advanced development professionals, who view standards as barriers or a humorous subject as it was presented in a presentation at the 2015 IEEE Electrical Ship Technologies Symposium (ESTS), shown in Figure 1.
