  • Evaluating the Challenge of Selecting a Propulsion Plant for Surface Vessels at the Conceptual Design Phase
    EasyChair Preprint № 5845 Evaluating the Challenge of Selecting a Propulsion Plant for Surface Vessels at the Conceptual Design Phase Selçuk Cin and Uğur Buğra Çelebi EasyChair preprints are intended for rapid dissemination of research results and are integrated with the rest of EasyChair. June 17, 2021 EVALUATING THE CHALLENGE OF SELECTING A PROPULSION PLANT FOR SURFACE VESSELS AT THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE Selçuk CİN1 and Uğur Buğra ÇELEBİ2 ABSTRACT Frigates are essential platforms for modern navies primarily to perform missions such as, anti-air warfare (AAW), anti-surface warfare (AsuW) and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations. Much less haeavely armed offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) are capable to conduct mainly maritime interception, crime prevention, terrorism-piracy fighting, protecting the environment and exclusive economic zone (EEZ), fishery resources patrol and humanitarian assistance. In order to fulfill above-mentioned tasks, both two types of vessels have highly variable mission profiles throughout the entire speed range. Thus, the propulsion plant should cover this wide operating range, maintaining the basic and vital stringent constraints of naval vessel requirements, as well as, efficient running. The design and selection of propulsion plant is clearly crucial in terms of overall platform integration and performance of the vessel. Necessities and limitations of various options, along with pros and cons, are challenges that the propulsion plant designer will face in early stages of the ship design process. Conceptual design is the first phase in the design process in which all considerations are initially discussed by relevant stakeholders. In this study, alternative propulsion plants and selection criteria for modern frigates and OPVs, will be presented.

Lallit Anand Graduate Officer, Department of Mechanical Engineering Potential Market for LNG-Fueled Marine Vessels in the United States by Bridget C. Brett Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Ocean Systems Management Abstract The growing global concern over ship emissions in recent years has driven policy change at the international level toward more stringent vessel emissions standards. The policy change has also been an impetus for innovation and increased attention being paid to existing technologies in marine engineering that lessen ship emissions. It is estimated that the share of emissions from shipping to total global emissions is increasing, as world trade grows, and land-based emissions sources become cleaner. Shipping currently accounts for 2-4% of CO2, 10-20% of NOx and 4-8% of SO2 global emissions.

  • LPG for Marine Engines the Marine Alternative Fuel
    LPG for Marine Engines The Marine Alternative Fuel Commercial, Passenger, Offshore Boats/Ships, Recreational Crafts and Other Boats Innovation & Technology The World LPG Association The WLPGA was established in 1987 in Dublin, Ireland, under the initial name of The World LPG Forum. It unites the broad interests of the vast worldwide LPG industry in one organisation. It was granted Category II Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1989. The WLPGA exists to provide representation of LPG use through leadership of the industry worldwide. Forward A great man once said “To know something and not do it is the same as not knowing it at all”. What we take for granted today was impossible just a few years ago. The quick adaptation of LPG as a fuel in the marine sector would be a great step forward for the environment, cleaner air and cleaner water. With its lower cost of implementation and its readily available infrastructure, LPG, an exceptional energy, has significant advantages over other alternative fuels. As a pioneer in LPG marine applications, I see as my maritime mission to assist in the rapid adaptation of this exceptional solution changing the world for the better. I believe this report, thanks to the World LPG Association, creates that ripple in the water that can carry across the oceans. Capt. Bernardo Herzer, chair of the WLPGA Marine Group.

  • US NAVY REPORT ALTERNATIVE PROPULSION METHODS for SURFACE COMBATANTS and AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE SHIPS Prepared By: Naval Sea Syst
    US NAVY REPORT ALTERNATIVE PROPULSION METHODS FOR SURFACE COMBATANTS AND AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE SHIPS Prepared by: Naval Sea Systems Command 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue SE Washington Navy Yard, DC 20376 March 2007 Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to Section 130 of the Fiscal Year 2006 National Defense Authorization Act, the Navy evaluated alternative propulsion methods for Small and Medium Surface Combatants and Amphibious Warfare Ships. Twenty three ship concepts were developed and analyzed in terms of acquisition cost, life-cycle cost (LCC), and operational effectiveness. The different concepts varied power and propulsion technologies including nuclear power, gas turbines, diesel engines, mechanical power transmission systems, hybrid power transmission systems, integrated power transmission systems, combined power plants, and various propulsor systems. The major conclusions of the report are: • Mission and operating requirements drive the need for particular power and propulsion system architectures, not ship displacement. For instance, it was found that ships with constant, high demands for energy may benefit from nuclear power, whereas ships with constant low demands for energy may be more suitable with combined diesel and gas turbine plants with hybrid power transmission systems (such as a single shaft with a secondary propulsion unit). • Based on the mission requirements assumed in this study, the LCC premiums for nuclear propulsion compared to fossil fuel propulsion,
