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.

Diesel electric boat propulsion systems.

Go completely off the grid and choose a solar or wind generator for battery charging. 48vdc propulsion motor provides propulsion power and can regenerate electricity when sailing with propeller turning. Our system provides a 48vdc battery bank serves as central energy storage. Light weight an electric propulsion system is typically 1 3 the weight of a diesel system quiet very quiet no emissions better for the environment healthier for the passengers clean engine room and bilge.

Based in germany torqeedo was founded by ballin and partner friedrich böbel to provide clean tech solutions for boat propulsion. The throttle control is used to control motor speed and direction. 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.

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. Go green with elco boat motors. In conventional power system arrangements the ship s propellers are driven by a diesel propulsion engine while the supply of electricity for the other shipboard loads is transmitted via the shipboard generators. It is characterized only by the type of prime mover with no reference to the type of electrical propulsion motor.

It is characterized only by the type of prime mover with no reference to the type of electrical propulsion motor. Elco will work with you on the option that best serves your needs. Or choose a small diesel powered generator set. The electrical propulsion arrangement for a ship is often described as a diesel electric or turbo electric system.

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. The elco electric boat drives are a highly efficient and extremely durable alternative to fossil fuel options. 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. Size and type depend on budget desired range and frequency of use.
