Various load sharing practices of generator sets are compared. The annual energy savings potential from generator sets is estimated. This paper presents the energy efficiency
Our Shaft Generator Systems provide an eco-friendly power source, allowing vessels to generate electricity directly from the main engine, minimizing the need for auxiliary generators. This
Most large ships such as container vessels, LNG carriers and tankers are powered by two-stroke main engines. When they additionally have a shaft generator system, this can
Wärtsilä has successfully delivered over 1000 shaft generator systems, further underlining our position as the world leader in this industry. Shaft generators on board ships are driven by the
Our ship generators, whether diesel for endurance or natural gas for cleaner operation, are built to endure the rigors of maritime environments. We ensure your fleet remains operational, giving
This paper presents a method of optimizing generator capacity for a representative container ship that is currently in the trend of enlargement. The proposed strategy is simple, so
Ever wonder how ships get electricity at sea and in port? Explore the role of marine electric generators, what shore power is, and the critical function of marine batteries in a ship''s
Shaft generators utilize the rotational power of the propulsion diesel engine to generate electricity, potentially reducing fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to
Out at sea, the ship must generate, regulate, protect, and—when things go wrong— restart its own electricity. This article is a complete, practical tour of the marine power generation system.
From small cargo vessels to massive cruise liners and modern electric ships, the number, type, and configuration of onboard generators can vary significantly. Let''s take a
