    Date: April 22, 2003 Subject: Trip Report to Northern Europe for National Science Foundation project From: Richard P. Voelker Chief, Advanced Technology Office of Shipbuilding and Marine Technology To: Joseph A. Byrne Director Office of Shipbuilding and Marine Technology During March 12-27, I traveled with representatives of the National Science Foundation (Alexander Sutherland), Raytheon Polar Services Corporation (Paul Olsgaard) and Science and Technology Corporation (James St. John and Aleksandr Iyerusalimskiy) to Finland, Sweden and Germany. The purpose of the trip was to gain insight into the design and operation of their national icebreakers, many of which incorporate innovative concepts. Visits were made to the Finnish Maritime Administration (Markku Mylly) and their icebreaker BOTNICA, the Swedish Maritime Administration (Anders Backman) and their icebreaker ODEN, and the German Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Eberhard Fahrbach). Information was also obtained on the new Swedish icebreaker class VIKING and the German polar research vessel POLARSTERN. Attachment A provides some of the notes from our visit while Attachment B contains a discussion on some elements of the technical specification for the new generation research/icebreaker vessel. The trip was very valuable and provided a great start to the feasibility-level design study that MARAD has been contracted to perform for the NSF. A presentation describing this trip and some interim results from the feasibility-level design study will be made in mid-May to interested MAR-760 members. # Attachment A – Notes from the visit ---------- Briefing by Paavo Lohi - Aker Finnyards, builder of BOTNICA The bow skeg or bilge keels do not affect the flow of ice around the hull.

  • Construction of a Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulator for Azipod Control System Testing
    Markus Nylund Construction of a hardware-in-the-loop simulator for Azipod control system testing Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 03.08.2016 Thesis supervisor: Prof. Seppo Ovaska Thesis advisor: D.Sc. (Tech.) Juha Orivuori Aalto-universitetet, PL 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Sammandrag av diplomarbete Författare Markus T. V. Nylund Titel Construction of a hardware-in-the-loop simulator for Azipod control system testing Examensprogram Utbildningsprogrammet för elektronik och elektroteknik Huvud-/biämne Elektronik med tillämpningar Kod S3007 Övervakare Prof. Seppo Ovaska Handledare TkD Juha Orivuori Datum 03.08.2016 Sidantal 9+90 Språk engelska Sammandrag Syftet med detta diplomarbete är att konstruera en simulator för Azipod® roderpropellern. Azipod® är ett varumärke av en roderpropeller med en elmotor som driver propellern. Hela roderenheten är belägen utanför fartygets skrov och det är möjligt att rotera roderpropellern obegränsat runt sin axel. Unikt för roderpropellrar är att drivkraften kan göras fullständigt elektriskt samt att roderpropellern är en dragande propeller till skillnad från tryckande konventionella propellrar. Dessa egenskaper ökar på ett fartygs energieffektivitet. Målet med arbetet är att bygga en (Azipod®) roderpropellersimulator och en tillhörande styrenhet som liknar fartygs styrenheter. Fokus för arbetet ligger på propulsionsstyrenheten. Simulatorn skall fungera liknande som den kommersiella produkten, men med mindre hårdvara. Fartygs styrkonsolpaneler samt alla nödvändiga mätinstrument virtualiseras. Ett extra program skapas för att möjliggöra stimulans för systemet för de virtualiserade mätinstrumenten. Detta program körs från en godtycklig dator som är uppkopplad till simulator nätverket. Simulering av Azipod® roderpropellern utförs av två sammankopplade motorer. Den ena motorn representerar en Azipod® rodermotor och den andra motorn belastar propulsionsmotorn.
