ELECTRIC SHIP PROPULSION: APPLICATION AND INTEGRATION

J Hensler

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The ever-increasing demand for higher power levels necessitates plant designs with features which may seem «exotic» in the eyes of many marine engineers. This paper analyzes these features and the principles behind them, and investigates the impact on the overall ship. Specific integration topics discussed are: voltage transients, ship's service power supplied by a central power plant, protection design, electromagnetic interference, vibrations, and torque pulsations. The author's recent involvement with several Canadian icebreaker designs has led to new analytical approaches in quantifying system parameters. Methods for complex system analysis and guidelines for equipment selection are presented herein
