In my original post solar power was not mentioned ;)
Diesel electric using sterling engines could be quiet except the switching noise from frequency converters.
Solar panels need to get higher efficiency and lower price, fuel need to be more expensive. Unless you don't have an environmental agenda it's not...
Look at the ragone chart yourself posted. There Supercapasitors are at level with fuel cells regarding energy vs weight and can discharge a lot...
No one with minimal technical background would ever claim that solar panels could provide a reasonable proportion of power for propulsion. What...
Supercapasitors carry more watt-hours per unit of weight. Acid battery's has been around since the bow and arrow was invented while...
Not if you only want to save fuel(not run off solar alone) Correct controllers would always make sure solar penetration is at maximum and any...
1 is not a problem with supercapasitor batterys. 2 is not a problem. 3 is not a problem before you want lead battetys because supercapasitors...
Only one of those statements are true. They have quite low maintenance since they have few moving parts. You can't compare a air grade turbine...
Anything used in the accommodation, frying-pan, microwave, lights, heat and ventilation.
Have a cutout from side view where u can see the general arrangement. Sadly no single-line diagram.
A pure PSV is not on standby for days. Often they are not equiped with Fi-Fi or have high rescue class for high number of people. A multi role...
I been involved with delivering diesel electric where we measured 20% loss from diesel to prop. Still got a job. You will need to look a real long...
DC bus and variable speed has 3 disadvantages. 1 is that you need customized generators to maintain an high frequency before the rectifier in...
For PSV i mostly disagree about the design of fully dieselelectric design. Two diesels with shaftgens and dieselelectric (frequency controlled)...
Depends the power requirement, the real large ones with 40 000kW I struggle to see a pure diesel-electric system working out since the machinery...
This is what I read and this is the theory I argue. 1 generator running 80% will have a better consumption than 3 running at 25% load. it will be...
The reason consumption was higher on one generator should be power oscillations or load higher than the single diesels optimum load. An...
With thrusters it's everything. It's with DP operation on thrusters the whole concept really pay off. With a trimaran for crossing open water...
Green image is a sad thing. Lots of systems are marketed great, but are less fuel efficient than traditional propulsion both because of...
