The solution to the future ship, whether it is operating in coastal sea or deep sea, is asking for more than just meeting IMO Global Sulphur Cap (0.5%) or IMO CO₂ reduction by 40% by 2030. Meanwhile, the new EEXI rule is now in play.
For the ship owners, the major concern is to ensure low operational cost, with safe and intelligent pre-specified electrical and propulsion systems for optimized ship design.
Using a shaft generator with a VFD for power production is economical, environmentally friendly and provides a range of advantages being a power source which, under most conditions, generates much cheaper energy than auxiliary diesel generator sets.
ABB Hybrid solutions offers a wide range of electrical solutions. Converters with DC Link offer the optimum solution for energy savings, combining energy sources and consumers on one single line.
Today electric solutions are available from complete Onboard DC Grid™ electric system either stand-alone or in combination with AC systems, giving the user optimal conditions for variable speed.
Energy storage has arrived as part of a modern hybrid system. It could also work in combination with Fuel Cells, which will soon be available for applications covering more than 10MW. This technology is now available for feeder vessels or Ro-Ro vessels travelling frequently from port to port.
Diesel Electric systems is expected to be the best option in the future in combination with propulsion systems like Azipod® propulsion, maximizing efficiency and minimizing cost of ownership compared to traditional propulsion systems.
In this webinar, ABB will give a broader introduction to the options available for the Dry Cargo Ships, ensuring safe investment in new vessels and future proof sustainable shipping.
