An assessment of electric motors from the point of marine propulsion systems

The global environmental concern and the limited resources of fossil fuels warrant use alternative renewable energy sources. International Maritime Organisation aims to increase efficiency reduce emissions from marine vessels. In this context, in addition conventional propulsion system, application hybrid system (HPS) diesel-electric (DEPS) comes fore. This study analyse electric motors, one HPS DEPS equipment, detail. study, gains are described by performing load tests on motors diesel engines Consequently, article found that systems will be used more widely maritime industry future, especially tugboats operated at low loads for most their operating time. paper a prominent source researchers sector stakeholders whose studies concerning DEPS, particularly motors.
