Electrical Propulsion System

The document discusses electric propulsion systems for ships as an alternative to conventional diesel engine propulsion. Electric propulsion utilizes electric motors to drive propeller blades for ship propulsion. It has advantages over conventional systems in efficiency, functionality, reduced emissions, and flexibility in machinery placement. The electric propulsion system generates power for both propulsion and other ship electrical loads. It requires less space than conventional systems and provides benefits like improved maneuverability and redundancy.

PROPULSION SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION

Electric Propulsion System


• This was the new system that conventional rival of old system which is Diesel Engine
propulsion. Electrical ship propulsion was helped by electric motor to Generate power. This
advantage was in line of Efficiency, Functionality, and Durability.
• This system was equipped and for small vessels only before. But now, they are adopting and
applying it on larger ships. They are adopting it to lessen the Problem that we are facing today,
that our ozone layer becoming more thinner, Because of the smokes that produce of diesel
engine before.

A PROPULSION SYSTEM THAT OUTRIVALS
CONVENTIONAL PROPULSION ENGINES IN

EFFICIENCY AND FUNCTIONALITY


INTRODUCTION

• In conventional power system arrangements, the ship’s propellers are driven by a diesel
propulsion engine while the supply of electricity for the other shipboard loads is transmitted via
the shipboard generators.
• In electric propulsion systems, the power used to drive the propellers becomes an electrical load
meaning that the generators can take care of all shipboard loads. As shown in the diagram
below, 3 generator-drive engines are referred to as the “ship’s electric power station” supplying
power for both propulsion and electrical requirements on board.

WHAT IS ELECTRIC PROPULSION
FOR SHIPS?
INTRODUCTION

• Electric propulsion systems utilize electrical power to drive propeller blades for propulsion.
From commercial and research ships through to fishing vessels, over recent years, electric
propulsion has gained momentum in a wide range of marine applications across Europe and in
Japan.

INTRODUCTION

Advantages of electrical propulsion


• Better Redundancy (the state of being not or no longer needed or useful.)
• Prime movers run at optimum load
• Consume less space
• No need for mechanical speed reduction
• Flexibility in location
• Saves vertical space
• Less noise

THE ELECTRICAL PROPULSION
SYSTEM HAS GOT A LOT OF
ADVANTAGES OVER THE
CONVENTIONAL
INTRODUCTION

• Engine driven propulsion system, which is obviously increasing the demand for electrical propulsion for
merchant vessels. With advancement in technology and research, the electrical propulsion system is not
limited to small boats and small vessels anymore.

INTRODUCTION

• The system generates a significant amount of power is generated by the system and the excess
power utilized by supplying it to cargo pumps. fire pumps and other important auxiliary machinery.
• The space required for installation of electrical propulsion machinery is very less and compact as
compared to conventional system.
• There is no direct connection of propeller shaft and prime mover, and hence transmission of severe
stresses such as torsional and vibration is restricted.
• There is more flexibility in installation of machinery.
• It provides improved maneuverability and high redundancy • Increased payload through flexible
location of machinery components
• Environmental benefits from lower fuel consumption and emissions

INTRODUCTION

• High performance in harsh ice conditions due to maximum torque at zero speed
• Reduces life cycle cost by less fuel consumption and maintenance cost • Minimal standstill time for
maintenance and service.
• Vessels with potential trim problems, such as stern wheelers, where machinery needs to be located
forward to avoid trim problems.
• Better comfort due to reduced vibration and noise
• Much better dynamic response from zero to maximum propelling speed compared to other
propulsion systems
• Less reversing time compared to other propulsion systems.
• Availability of maximum torque across the entire speed range at the propeller.
