Magnetic gearing enables compact electric propulsion motors

摘要

Increasing demands for better fuel economy, lower emissions, and quieter operation, has led builders of a wide range of vessels to consider hybrid electric propulsion systems.rnSeries-hybrid diesel-electric systems are frequently employed in cruise ships,ferries and naval vessels (often with additional gas turbine systems).The engine drives a generator which produces electrical power for the propulsion motors and hotel load.This architecture enables engines to run at optimum efficiency and allows flexible layouts.
