Exciting times for Marelli's hybrid motor

摘要

Hybrid electrical machines can be used to as conventional shaft generators and variable speed propulsion motors to enhance vessel operations and manoeuvring, save fuel as the main engines can be switched off and offer redundancy since the operational modes are totally independent. The core technology is the hybrid synchronous machines provided with two exciters each of these are designed to meet the specific operational mode, motor or alternator. In house tests have validated design expectations and provide a footprint for the next phase onboard.
