Diesel electric boat propulsion systems.

With a decade of experience and hundreds of diesel electric packages in operation globally cummins is one of the pioneers in diesel electric propulsion. It is characterized only by the type of prime mover with no reference to the type of electrical propulsion motor. When the prime mover is a diesel engine then it is called diesel electrical propulsion. The throttle control is used to control motor speed and direction.

Go completely off the grid and choose a solar or wind generator for battery charging. The company has developed in house capability to design genset packages and support diesel electric vessels long offering custom packages through the cummins marine distribution channel as well as more standardized c power generator sets from the factory. 48vdc propulsion motor provides propulsion power and can regenerate electricity when sailing with propeller turning. Based in germany torqeedo was founded by ballin and partner friedrich böbel to provide clean tech solutions for boat propulsion.

The electrical propulsion arrangement for a ship is often described as a diesel electric or turbo electric system. The elco electric boat drives are a highly efficient and extremely durable alternative to fossil fuel options. It is characterized only by the type of prime mover with no reference to the type of electrical propulsion motor. 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.

They have been producing all electric outboards and inboard power systems for smaller vessels since 2004 but have taken a giant step forward recently courtesy of a tech trickle down effect from bmw. Elco will work with you on the option that best serves your needs. A typical siemens single engine twin prop diesel electric propulsion system is comprised of a permanent magnet three phase alternator powered by the diesel engine through a speed increasing gearbox two short circuit proof solid state power inverter modules two 3 phase permanent magnet prop drive motors associated prop drive gearboxes a control computer and a conventional appearing helm control station. The electrical propulsion arrangement for a ship is often described as a diesel electric or turbo electric system.

When the prime mover is a diesel engine then it is called diesel electrical propulsion. Or choose a small diesel powered generator set. Our system provides a 48vdc battery bank serves as central energy storage. Fully electric marine propulsion systems torqeedo s deep blue 100i motor is the first fully integrated inboard electric propulsion system which is available in two versions 2400 rpm for faster planing boats and 900 rpm for heavier displacement vessels up to 120 feet.
