Prime movers
Gas Turbines
 Gas turbine have been selected as the future prime mover primarily
because of their high power to weight ratio.
 4. Weight sensitive ship designs favor gas turbines and projected light
weight fuel cell power plants such as PEM.
 They also provide significant reduction in the amount of routine
maintenance required when compared with diesel generators.
 The other significant factor is the low emissions.

Diesel engine
 Diesel engines offer fuel costs savings of 50% if heavy fuels can be
used, and if emissions can be maintained at acceptable levels.
 Maintenance may include engine modifications such as dual fuel
capability for in-port use, water injection, and timing retard, and exhaust
treatment such as selected catalytic reduction and oxidation catalysts.
 Heavy fuel use also requires careful selection of cylinder material and
lube oil
Turbine
 A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a rotary engine
that extracts energy from a flow of hot gas produced by combustion of
gas or fuel oil in a stream of compressed air.
 It has an upstream air compressor radial or axial flow mechanically
coupled to a downstream turbine and a combustion chamber in
between.
 Energy is released when compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited
in the combustor
 The resulting gases are directed over the turbine's blades, spinning the
turbine, and, mechanically, powering the compressor.
 Finally, the gases are passed through a nozzle , generating additional
thrust by accelerating the hot exhaust gases by expansion back to
atmospheric pressure.

 A steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy

from pressurized steam , and converts it into useful mechanical work.
Steam Turbine engine
 The Steam turbine is use to obtain mechanical work
from the energy stored in steam.
 Steam enters the turbine with high energy content
and leaves after giving up most of it.
 The high pressure steam from the boiler is
expanded in nozzles to create a high velocity jet of
steam, which produces the force which causes
rotation of the shaft.
Gas turbine
 The Gas turbine is use for obtaining mechanical
work from the energy stored in Gases in which
combustion take place in the combustion chamber.
 The hot gases enters the turbine with high energy
content and leaves after giving up most of it.
 The high pressure gases from the combustion
chamber is expanded in nozzles to create a high
velocity jet of gases, which produces the force which
causes rotation of the shaft.

COGAG
 Combined gas turbine and gas
turbine (COGAG) is propulsion
system for ships using two gas
turbines connected to a single
propeller shaft.

 A gearbox and clutches allow

either of the turbines to drive the
shaft or both of them combined.

 Using one or two gas turbines has

the advantage of having two
different power settings.

 Since the fuel efficiency of a gas

turbine is best near its maximum
power level, a small gas turbine
running at its full speed is more
efficient compared to a twice as
powerful turbine running at half
speed, allowing more economic
transit at cruise speeds.
Diesel engine
Electric drive
 Electric drive transmissions have a higher specific fuel consumption, specific
weight and volume than mechanical drive systems, but has advantages in
arrangement which may compensate for these disadvantages.
 Advanced technology motors can be located very close to and on line with the
propulsors, at the extreme aft end of the ship, or in external pods.
 Electrical generator sets can be optimally spaced around the ship and
electrically connected. In the longer term, combined with fuel cells, SFC, specific
weight and volume are comparable with gas turbine and diesel prime movers for
direct drive systems.
Zone Concept :
 The concept of dividing future classes of ship into zones to maximize
survivability also extends to the power system.
 Each zone would be autonomous and include ventilation systems, cooling
systems, power distribution and other services which could be affected by
damage to another part of the ship.
 At least two supplies would be provided for all essential loads. Current classes,
using split generation and distribution, rely on the provision of normal and
alternative supplies via Automatic Change-Over Switches
 Fuel cell
 The fuel cell stack operates by utilizing electrochemical reactions between
an oxidant (air) and a fuel (hydrogen), with two electrodes separated by a
membrane.
 The voltage of the fuel cell output can be controlled by a converter and it is
therefore able to connect to any point in the ship service or propulsion
distribution system.
 The fuel cell stack is modularity give redundancy advantage. It also has the
additional advantages of zero noxious emissions, and low thermal and
acoustic signatures.
 In the short term the fuel cell system is required to use marine diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel will require reforming within the fuel cell stack, or using an
external process, to produce a hydrogen rich gas which the fuel cell stack is
capable of processing.
 The reformer will clearly add both size, weight and complexity to the fuel cell
system. In the longer term technologies such as the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
(SOFC) are contenders, which are more forgiving of impurities and can use
a fuel available world-wide, either methanol or gasoline.
Storage option
 The technologies being assessed for energy storage include are
electro-chemical batteries (both conventional and advanced),
regenerative fuel cells (otherwise known as redox flow cells )
Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and
Supercapacitors.

 Regenerative fuel cells store or release electrical energy by means

of a reversible electrochemical reaction between two salt solutions
(the electrolytes). The reaction occurs within an electrochemical cell.

 The cell has two compartments, one for each electrolyte, physically
separated by an ion-exchange membrane.

 In contrast to most types of battery system, the electrolytes flow into

and out of the cells and are transformed electrochemically inside the
cells. The power is therefore determined by the size of the cell but
the endurance is determined by the size of the two electrolyte tanks
Storage system
Prime movers and emission
 All prime movers are potentially compliant with emerging emission
requirements, however, complexity for achieving compliance varies
with prime mover and fuel type.

 Diesels require the most attention to emissions control followed at

some distance by gas turbines, where ultra low emissions levels
have been achieved for land-based systems.

 Fuel cells emit the lowest levels of pollutants of all the prime
movers
 Heavier fuel cell systems and diesels represent larger machinery
and structural weight.

 Fuel cells can be used as a prime mover in an Integrated Full

Electric Propulsion (IFEP) system providing DC electrical power
output, and are being developed as a replacement for diesel
generators and gas turbine alternators.

• EHP : The power required to move the ship hull at a given

speed in the absence of propeller action
(EHP is not related with Power Train System)
• EHP can be determined from the towing tank experiments at
the various speeds of the model ship.
• EHP of the model ship is converted into EHP of the full scale
