Welcome to the ESRDC

The Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium (ESRDC) brings together in a single entity the combined programs and resources of leading electric power research institutions for research on near to mid-term electric ship concepts. In addition, the consortium addresses the national shortage of electric power engineers by providing educational opportunities for students in state-of-the-art experimental facilities, ensuring the United States superiority in electric systems well into the future. The Office of Naval Research manages the ESRDC.

Participating universities include: Florida State University, Mississippi State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US Naval Academy, Purdue University, University of South Carolina, and University of Texas at Austin.
