One way to achieve more sustainable vessels is represented by updating onboard engines to suit current regulations and needs: Gas Turbines are not a novelty in the field and, despite the few applications in commercial shipping so far, this technology is again under evaluation for different reasons. Indeed, it is still a preferred choice in navy, where swift maneuvering is a key factor; it is employed by fast ferries and hydrofoils for its high power/weight ratio; it has been recently applied to LNG carriers to burn boil-off gas in a more efficient way and several studies in literature suggest its possible introduction on large Cruise Ships. Since there seems to be a lack of research concerning small size units, the present work attempts to evaluate the possible usages of Mini Gas Turbine Cycles in the range of 1 to 10 MW of electric output for heat and power generation onboard commercial vessels dedicated to passenger transport. For this purpose, a statistical analysis on existing operating vessels up to 2020 was made, to eplore main engine sizes; a literature review was carried out to find representative onboard heat demands. Once the main vessel electrical and thermal requirements were evaluated, Mini Cogenerative plants based on Gas Turbines were designed within the identified boundaries Citation: Barsi, D.; Luzzi, M.; and compared with state-of-the-art Marine Diesel Engines and Gas Turbines on estimated global Satta, F.; Zunino, P.

However, while there are examples of studies concerning the feasibility of gas and steam turbines (ST) as main or auxiliary engines [13–15] and possible improvements to waste heat recovery through such machines [17,18] on large ships with high energy and power requirements, there seems to be a lack of similar work on smaller size GT units. Usually, compact turbomachines are mainly considered for ICE turbocharging, with niche applications for power generation [19]. We call Mini Gas Turbine Cycles [20] the GT-based energy generation systems, which are suited for ratings in the order of magnitude of 1 or a few electric MW (MWel). Thus, the present paper attempts to define the possible applications, advantages and limits of Mini Gas Turbine Cycles for heat and power generation onboard commercial and passenger ships. To assess this topic, a review of currently operating worldwide vessels is made, in order to define a suitable engine size; a literature review concerning energy and heat requirements onboard cruise ships is performed, with the aim to investigate the magnitudes of onboard heat and electric demands; finally, different plant architectures for Combined Gas and Steam Cycles are compared within the boundaries defined by the previous analysis, to determine the best options in terms of performance, size and weight. A comparison with current naval prime movers - both Diesel engines and marine Gas Turbines at state of the art - is made, to show the possible advantages of the proposed solutions. 2. Analysis Methodology and Modeling 2.1. Worldwide Ships Statistics With the aim to perform statistics on a representative sample of actual operating ships, data from SeaWeb Database [21] were extracted on worldwide vessels registered from 1980 to 2020 for Cruise, Ro-Pax and Passenger ship types. Restrictions on total installed power and passenger number were chosen, to select main engines of relatively small size, but still with non negligible heat requirements. Database characteristics and filter limits are summarized in Table1: here, Gross Tonnage (GT) indicate a conventional measure of ship size, being related to the internal volume of vessels. The acquired data were checked, in order to remove all non-operating vessels, missing information or mistakes. Table 1. Database characteristics.

Statistical analysis was performed by the program R, described in [22]; significance level was set to p < 0.05. Since none of the data arrays was normally distributed (Lilliefors; p < 0.001), non parametric Pairwise Wilcoxon test was performed for comparison between ship types. Passenger vessels were found to be significantly different to both Cruise and Ro-Pax (Wicoxon; p < 0.001), while no significative differences were found between Cruise and Ro-Pax vessels. From these findings, it was chosen to focus only on Cruise and Ro-Pax ships, in the following steps. The graphical outliers in Figure1 were further checked, to avoid data inconsistency: the Cruise ones represent vessels from a Energies 2021, 14, 568 3 of 12 specific company, Marella Cruises (Luton, UK), which have slightly larger engines installed compared to the rest of the database; Ro-Pax graphical outliers represent the fleet of MOL Ferry Co. (Tokyo, JP), a japanese ferry company which delivers high-speed travel through the islands of Japan, thus needing power to reach speeds up to 35 knots; finally, Passenger vessels graphical outliers were also checked, but no mistaken or missing data were found. For this last ship type, it was concluded that the scattering of the distribution is related to how different design solutions can be chosen for varying transport needs. (a) (b) Figure 1.

Statistics are summarized in Table2: medians were chosen as representative values for both variables, being more robust for non-normal distributions; a confidence interval with 95% accuracy was also defined, based on the distribution quantiles calculated in the program R [22].

    TORQEEDO TORQEEDO High-tech electric propulsion A rigorous focus on cutting-edge technology, R&D and new production processes, as well as optimizing performance, comfort, safety and economic features, has made one German supplier a key player in electric and hybrid marine technology WORDS: DR CHRISTOPH BALLIN hen Torqeedo’s founders, Dr Christoph Ballin and Dr Friedrich WBoebel, looked at solutions for electric propulsion systems for boats in 2004, they noted that existing products did not reflect the then state of technology, with the solutions coming from low-volume, high- price manufacturing starting points. This gap in the market prompted the creation of Torqeedo, a new player in the marine industry, focusing only on high-tech propulsion, combined with industrial R&D and manufacturing, to realize competitive price points while also providing revolutionary benefits. Despite being founded less than a decade ago, Torqeedo has already gathered critical global acclaim by being first to market with key innovations. For example, the company was the first to introduce brushless motors into marine propulsion. It was also the first to introduce lithium batteries to the marine industry on a broad scale and the first to integrate them into electric outboard designs. These critical breakthroughs, and many other high-tech innovations, have made Torqeedo one of the best-known brands in the field of marine electric propulsion. Located in Starnberg, near Munich, with sales offices in the USA, the UK, France and Spain, Torqeedo offers propulsion systems from 0.5kW through to 110kW, all developed according to the same ethos – superior technology with revolutionary benefits.

  • GE Marine Gas Turbine Propulsion for Frigates
    GE Marine Gas Turbines for Frigates March 2018 GE’s Marine Solutions One Neumann Way MD S156 Cincinnati, Ohio USA 45215 www.ge.com/marine GE Marine Gas Turbines for Frigates Introduction The important role of a frigate is to escort and protect other high value fleet and merchant ships the world over. Frigates operate independently and possess sufficient capabilities (i.e. anti-submarine, anti-ship and anti-air) to provide missions in maritime and wartime environments. With GE being the market leader in the supply of marine propulsion gas turbines and seeing the proliferation in the demand for frigates, we wanted to know how our gas turbines and product roadmap compared to the needs of frigates. Before we could answer that question, we needed to answer the following two questions: 1. What are propulsion trends for frigates? 2. What are key attributes or requirements, and how do they translate to gas turbine propulsion characteristics? The key attributes of a frigate were taken from the July 2017 United States Navy Future Guided Missile Frigate (FFG(X)) Request for Information (RFI). It is anticipated the attributes would be common to many of the world’s frigates. Frigate Propulsion Trends and GE LM2500 Family Gas Turbine Suitability GE performed an analysis of all the frigates built since 1960 excluding certain countries such as Russia and China. Classification of a ship as a frigate is a gray area as there is blending of smaller corvettes and larger destroyers. For this analysis, we used the Wikipedia listing of frigates. All of the following ship data was obtained from public information such as Wikipedia and IHS Jane’s Fighting Ships.

  • Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels
    Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association 57 Crane Lake Dr., Suite 1 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3S 1B5 Phone: (902) 423-2378 Fax: (902) 423-2379 [email protected] 27th March, 2015 Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels March 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Electric boats in one form or another have been around for over 100 years. The advantages of all-electric or partial-electric boats are the reductions in pollution, noise, vibration, and potentially, cost. The Nova Scotia marine community has a growing interest in the business opportunities offered by all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems. The Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association has therefore undertaken this review, which provides a snapshot of the current state of all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion technology for small vessels – and takes a look at what developments we can expect in the near future. All-electric systems are comprised of an electric motor driven by a battery pack. Hybrid-electric systems include an internal combustion engine, generator, battery, and electric motor, typically allowing the diesel or gasoline engine to do the heavy work when needed, and charge the electric system and allow it to respond to lighter loads such as low-speed cruising or providing power for lights and electronics, and other “hotel” loads. There are many technical challenges associated with the proper design and engineering of all- electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems, both in terms of current technical limitations such as battery life, charge rate, size, and weight and the larger issue of integrating and controlling the added complexity of hybrid systems and obtaining components that are properly designed and certified for use in a marine environment.
