Application of a Large Hybrid Turbocharger for Marine Electric-power Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The function of our new marine hybrid turbocharger, which has a generator on its rotor shaft, is to supply electric power for consumption onboard a ship and to supercharge the ship’s diesel engine. The generator is driven by the turbocharger shaft, which is rotated by exhaust-gas energy; thus, the generator is an exhaust-heat-recovery device, and energy savings can be expected. A high-speed, high-efficiency, small, high-power generator is required. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has developed the hybrid turbocharger MET83MAG for a large marine diesel engine in collaboration with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line), the Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI), and the Universal Shipbuilding Corporation and installed it in a Capesize bulk carrier. This is the world’s first practical application of a large hybrid marine turbocharger.

The computer simulation program of a practical scale reverse electrodialysis process has been developed based on the program for saline water electrodialysis. The program is applied to compute the performance of an industrial-scale reverse electrodialysis stack (effective membrane area S = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2, cell pair number N = 300 pairs). The stack operatingconditions are optimized. Seaw...

Ships play the major role in bulk transportation and they need their special energy system. This paper proposes a stochastic programing method for optimal sizing of a hybrid ship power system with energy storage system (ESS), photovoltaic power (PV) and diesel generator. To account for uncertainties, in this study a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer non-linear programing is used to model the o...
