MAN Diesel & Turbo: Electric Propulsion Reliability and reduced emissions

term perspectives, MAN Diesel & Turbo is offering solutions for compliance with IMO Tier III, even further ahead of its 2016 implementation date. Now, MAN Diesel & Turbo is offering solutions that are already compliant with IMO Tier III ensuring the shipping industry is even better placed for the future.

Why propulsion systems matter

Besides emissions, increased environmental awareness is leading to a range of restrictions on shipping. For example, to minimise the damage to coral reefs, vessels need to maintain their position without anchoring. This requires smooth running and accurate control of the propulsion plant.

Looking to the future

The global maritime industry faces major challenges: meeting new environmental and safety standards, especially in terms emissions, without sacrificing profitability or efficiency. MAN Diesel & Turbo understands these pressures. We are working to give the industry long-term solutions.

But environmental considerations are not the only factor. At sea, reliability is crucial. Moreover, propulsion plants must meet safety requirements while maintaining profitability, through fuel efficiency.

The advantages of diesel-electric

Diesel-electric drives meet all these needs and more. They offer a host of benefits, including reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, safe and reliable propulsion, improved manoeuvrability, and high redundancy. In particular, diesel-electric drives are effective in meeting fluctuating power demands: multiple smaller engines can be either switched off or run at full load, providing greater flexibility and efficiency. For a real-world example of these benefits, take ferries

Full ahead from IMO Tier II to Tier III

In terms of engine emissions we provide our customers with engines that will meet the emissions limits prescribed in the International Maritime Organisations IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI. Currently this means complying with IMO Tier II and IMO Tier III, the second and third stages of regulations governing emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). With this security of supply in mind, MAN Diesel & Turbo announced its full range of IMO Tier II compliant low and medium speed diesels in 2008 a full shipbuilding cycle ahead of IMO Tier IIs 2011 introduction. Now, to give the shipping industry clear, long

MAN Diesel-Electric Applications An increasingly attractive source of propulsion

Advances in technology have made electric propulsion a field with high potential. And there is no better way to exploit this potential for your application than with a MAN Diesel & Turbo diesel-electric drive.
The time has come
Electric propulsion is not a recent innovation. But only lately has it become a viable alternative, as the technology has improved and components have come down in cost. Over the last twenty years electric propulsion, combined with medium-speed diesel engines, has been employed in increasing numbers of consumers. Today, hundreds of different types of ships are powered by diesel-electric drives, in a large variety of configurations. Variable speed drives, which include electric propulsion motors and frequency converters, are another key component. Frequency converters control the speed and torque of the propulsion motor by varying the frequency. In addition to that electric-powered azimuth thrusters or pods can be applied in electric propulsion plants which improve propulsion efficiency and positioning capability. Available in various configurations for transit, manoeuvring and station keeping, these are increasingly common in many types of vessels. demand, according to the mode of operation. The electric power is then distributed via the main switchboards.

How it works
How does a diesel-electric plant work? Diesel-driven generators provide electric power for both propulsion and onboard purposes. For maximum efficiency, MAN Diesel & Turbo ensures that the number of gensets which are running matches the present power

The Advantages of Diesel-Electric Efficient, high-performance propulsion

Diesel-electric systems by MAN Diesel & Turbo are designed to meet our customers highest expectations. We offer full diesel-electric propulsion packages, including everything from gensets to propulsors, including switchboards, converters, transformers and motors. Our packages offer a host of benefits, including:

Lower fuel consumption and emissions due to the possibility to optimize loading of engines. Connected engines operate at high load, with maximum efficiency.

Improved manoeuvrability and station-keeping ability, by deploying special propulsors such as azimuth thrusters or pods.

Increased payload, as diesel-electric systems take up less space.

Reduced life cycle costs, resulting from lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs. In particular, this applies to vessels that have a large variation in load demand: for example, dynamic positioning (DP) vessels, which divide their time equally between transit and station-keeping operations.

More flexibility in location of propulsors because the propulsors are supplied with electric power through cables, they do not need to be adjacent to the prime mover.

High reliability, due to multiple engine redundancy. Even if an engine malfunctions, there will still be sufficient power to operate the vessel safely.

Lower propulsion noise and reduced vibrations, as reduction transmissions are often not required.

Effective performance in icy conditions, as the system can provide maximum torque at low speed.

Reduced vulnerability to a single point of failure, providing the basis for compliance with redundancy requirements.

Typical Diesel-Electric Applications

Diesel-electric drives have a variety of applications. In fact, electric propulsions numerous advantages make it an asset in a diverse range of highly-specialised vessels.
Passenger vessels
Passenger vessels cruise ships and ferries are an important segment of shipping with a particularly demanding freight: passengers. Onboard comfort is a high priority, requiring low noise levels and vibrations from the ships machinery. Electrical propulsion can provide just that. But comfort is not the only imperative: safety is paramount. Existing regulations, such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as well as new Safe Return to Port requirements, stipulate both reliability and availability. In this respect, the advantages of diesel-electric propulsion are well known. Not only are diesel-electric systems highly reliable, they are also cost-efficient. For example, podded propulsion increases propulsion efficiency by eight to ten per cent. In addition to significantly reducing fuel costs, these pods also improve manoeuvrability. As a result, more and more cruise ships are being built with diesel-electric systems. A typical installation consists of either two or three separate engine rooms, depending on its DP classification. Flexibility, availability and operational maintainability are essential in these vessels making dieselelectric systems an ideal source of propulsion. In addition to DP systems, drillships and semi-submersibles are equipped with azimuth thrusters, which are capable of propelling the vessel in any direction.These thrusters are integrated into the vessels control system, which uses satellite-positioning technology. In conjunction with sensors located on the drilling template, this ensures that the ship is directly above the drill site at all times.

Shuttle tankers
Shuttle tankers are used to transport oil from offshore facilities (platforms or floating, production, storage and offloading, or FPSO vessels) to a processing or storage terminal onshore. Many different offloading methods are used. Most of them require the tankers to maintain a fixed position (station keeping) with high accuracy, even in changing conditions. To achieve this, most shuttle tankers are equipped with a DP system and electric tunnel or azimuth thrusters. Many applications involve a high degree of redundancy in propulsion for transit and station keeping. These solutions normally comprise a redundant power generation and distribution system, with redundant propulsion converters and a tandem or redundant propulsion motor.

Oil and gas exploration and production

Until quite recently, oil and gas wells were located in shallow waters, where they could be drilled by jackup rigs or drilling barges. When these shallow-water fields became depleted, oil and gas companies moved into deeper waters. However, these reservoirs can only be tapped by large semi-submersible rigs or drillships, which require a large quantity of electric power.

Offshore support vessels

Electric propulsion is the norm in ships that frequently require dynamic positioning (DP), such as platform supply vessels, diving support vessels or pipe layers. Initially these vessels mainly used variable speed motor drives and fixed pitch (FP) propellers; now, they mostly deploy variable speed thrusters. Not surprisingly, electric propulsion has become the leading design for vessels in many offshore oil and gas fields, including the North Sea and Brazil. And it is becoming increasingly popular in new fields, as oil companies seek to reduce operating costs and emissions.

Dredgers and construction vessels

In light of the lifetime benefits shown by economic analyses, advanced anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels are increasingly being equipped with hybrid diesel-mechanical and diesel-electric propulsion. In these applications, electric propulsion meets a For vessels with a diverse range of activities, dieselelectric propulsion delivers significantly lower fuel consumption and emissions compared to conventional mechanical propulsion. Ship owners have reported fuel savings of between 15-25 per cent, depending on the operational profile, and even 30-40 per cent in low-load DP operations. number of criteria, such as accurate manoeuvrability, fuel economy, and the ability to move working place frequently. In vessels with a large ship service electrical system, the ship service and propulsion power generators can be combined, achieving higher flexibility, redundancy and making better use of installed power capacity. Craft that operate in shallow waters, such as dredgers, construction vessels and windmill installation vessels, also benefit from diesel-electric propulsion and stationkeeping.
