The podded propulsion system is the largest step forward as propulsion unit in the recent years. The concept is not yet fully developed for all market and power applications, and t... Read more
The selection of power system architecture for a ship primarily depends on the mission over the service life and the reliability desired. In discussing ship power system architectu... Read more
The first and foremost task for shipboard power system design is to compile a table of all connected ship electrical loads along with their load factors in all operating modes of t... Read more
Not all loads are turned on at all times, and many come one after another, each for a short duration of time in a set sequence. Therefore, the required generator capacity in kW is... Read more
Is battery technology – and its perceived high costs – slowing the widespread adoption of next-generation hybrid electric propulsion inthe marine world? “Today, the price of batter... Read more
High power generation is required on ships for cruise lines, tugs, tankers, and dredgers.The generator rating depends to a large degree on a fairly close assessment of peak power a... Read more
